Television viewing

What I watch and what I wish I had time to watch are becoming more and more different. Also, what I actually sit down and watch semi-uninterupted and what I can have on in the background while I am doing other things is another category of my television watching. What I actually watch is the news, Grey's Anatomy, and home improvement shows like trading spaces and Extreme Home Makeover. If I had the time, I would watch Oprah and the Daily Show with John Stewart (he cracks me up...he reminds me that life is funny, people are funny, and the world is funny). What I can have on in the background while I am doing other things are shows like House Hunters, Flip that House, My house is Worth What?...basically anything that is on TLC or HGTV that is about houses or realestate or even travel. I find that when we are up at our trailer, I watch more tv, and different tv (since there is no cable, and we rely on air waves for our signal, we usually watch what we can get to come in). It does get a bit quiet up there, and the TV keeps us connected to the real world! Why do I watch TV? For information, for entertainment, and every once in a grat while, just becasue I have nothing else to do (it's been a while since that happened!)
