And that doesn't include the soaps
Admittedly some of it is bubble gum telly and doesn't need much concentration but a lot is more interesting.
Most favourite at the moment is The Walking Dead although I haven't watched any of the latest series yet, I'm waiting til I have it all recorded then will binge watch it over a few evenings.
I don't really do intellectual programmes, for me the telly is just a tool to take me away from the everyday grind. My poor old brain works hard enough keeping me alive on a daily basis
You're forgiven.
I do record a lot of documentaries, but I do have to be in the mood to watch them.
I was watching one about Burma yesterday, but had to switch off three-quarters of the way through, because the shots of the live animals captured into tiny cages and being sold as food at a market upset me so much.
And yes, most of what I watch is recorded, partly because I fall asleep quite early, but also so I can FF through the ghastly ads.
Sometimes bubblegum is what is needed. There's only so much realism and angst one can take!
After all, you can enjoy Shakespeare
and The Beano! Just not at the same time!
