I watch approximately 7 hours of TV a day, it is a great time filler for me. I think its not the hours of TV you watch, but rather what you watch. Some of these sitcoms that people watch is dummying down America rapidly. You can see the results in jury verdicts, elections, lazy people trying to get on disability. People watch sitcoms and try to emulate the stars and their actions. Like someone said earlier, TV can be a good or bad thing in your life. PS, I don't watch a single sitcoms.
