Well I watch alot of TV (especially now that I'm out of work), most of it is DIY and HGTV but we watch six to seven hours a day. Lots of time it will be on in the background while I'm on the computer working, surfing or editing a podcast.

Out of that six to seven hours of TV I'd say a few hours of it is primetime stuff.

Monday - HIMYM, The Event 1.5 hours
Tuesday - Raising Hope, Glee, No Ordinary Family 2.5 hours
Wednesday - Modern Family, Cougar Town 1 hour
Thursday - Big Bang Theory .5 hour
Friday - Clone Wars .5 hour
Saturday - Nothing 0 hour
Sunday - Amazing Race, Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, Extreme Makeover Home Edition 3.5 hours

I think I am at about 7-8 hours a week as well.  We really only watch about 1 hour a night after the kids are in bed.  There are no shows that I am really following these days.  I will watch Caprica when it comes back on.

I find it curious that you would specifically mention that you don't watch "reality TV."  I'm certain you don't watch daytime soap operas or Nickelodeon teen shows as well but you did not feel the need to mention those...

Actually I have on occasion watched a couple of soap operas and some Nick shows at times.  ;)

So that's less than three hours of comercial free a week.

About none.
I had cable a couple of years ago, but after moving to this house didn't bother.
With podcasts and radio, I'm much more mobile.

I watch 0 hours of TV. 

Ok, I do watch Hulu/Netflix, but that really doesn't count.  I can't stand commercials on TV anymore, drives me nuts.

Currently I'm watching or plan to watch:


Walking Dead

Crap; I forgot about that!  OK; between Caprica and Walking Dead, I guess I'll be watching about 2 hours a week, once the shows start up.  I'm still on the fence about Smallville.  It seems like too much stuff has happened since I last watched it; I'm afraid I'd be lost.  And Clone Wars... I dunno.

ElfManDan

I almost never watch things when they air, I'm busy with school usually and stuff and the guy I live with hogs the TV almost all the time he's home (which includes now in the next room). It's not to bad cause I don't care so much.

The stuff I will watch or have this week include;
Chuck, Castle, The Colony, Glee, Stargate Universe, Big Bang, Fringe, Dexter, and the IRL race.

Darkmolerman

I've watch far to much TV, because of the DVR I forget when things are on but I watch enough Fox and Syfy to make the most sane person nuts. Every day I think is covered by a TV show. So safe to say 6-10 hours.

I did a nine season catch up on Smallville over the past year in order to get caught up in time to watch the end of season 9.  That was a lot of Smallville.

Dang; how many episodes is that?  Was it pretty good? 

What's got my interest up is the fact that they seem to be exploring the whole DC universe in the series.  What's got me leaning towards giving the show a pass is that I get the impression that everything is being thrown in without rhyme or reason... Kinda like they're desperately throwing everything into the show to spike viewership.  So far, they have Brainiac, Zod, The Flash, Green Arrow, Aquaman, and it looks like Dr. Fate is in there too? And Hawkman?  All of these characters are hanging around Smallville & Metropolis?
