The Results Are In...

Thank you to my family for thinking that we don't really watch much TV - really did you see their guesses on how many hours we'd watch? So, it was actually eight days that we recorded our TV watching for and our grand total of combined TV watching hours was...drumroll please... 54.25. At first I was thinking - whoa, that's a lot of TV. But when I did a little math I found that first of all, that's only a smidgen over 27 hours each, on average. So, over the course of eight days, that works out to be not quite three and a half hours a day. And, it's not like we actually watched three and a half hours of TV everyday - on the weekend we watched a little more since we hung out at home mostly, so we probably watch a couple hours a day usually. That's not too bad. However, I am sure there are many more constructive things I could be doing with my 27 hours a week!

Another item of note in the TV watching diary - probably about 90% of what we watch is reality TV. We love it! Some of our favorites during the week: So You Think You Can Dance, The Real World (Hollywood), Wipeout, and Hell's Kitchen (the season finale - Yay Christina!!). It was interesting to take such a close look at something I hadn't really paid much attention to. I mean, I know we watch some TV but it was fun to see exactly how much and what it is we watch. Oh yeah - an entry all about TV wouldn't be right without mentioning that I faithfully record and watch my soap opera too - All My Children! I mailed the TV diary off yesterday and our $30 has long been spent. It was fun though!

You guys are so funny! Jarv said Jimmy's picture looks like the Hell's Kitchen guy (with his spikey hair in front). This was a fun post to read! :) PS What do you think about Confort being voted off, coming back and then beating out Kerrington?
