I don't understand people who have their TV on all day long..
I don't get it either. It's like it is just "white noise" for them. Music is much more enjoyable. The occasional movie, either on DVD, Netflix or Xfinity is okay for me.
I often go days or even a week not turning on the TV nowadays. When my wife was alive, she'd watch a lot of TV. I'd watch it with her and have much trouble staying awake. I really got sick of watching Food Network, which she loved.
