TV and Film

See, the movie can be more involved than the book....lol....

I loved the Hobbit trilogy and always watch the extended versions. That said, I am not a big fan of the LotR films. Too much fighting/battles for my blood. It gets old after a while.

Me too for the 'home cinema' effect.

My dad is bigger than your dad? 


41" is my largest tv. We only use 1 actually. 

We have two. One is our previous one that we keep upstairs... it was not much larger than a larger computer monitor lol the one we have downstairs for our nighttime tv and movies is 60 inches.

We still haven't watched the new season....

I have a 42inch plasma. Any bigger makes playing video game a bit more difficult.

Plasma...  Do they still make those or is it an older tv?

We have a 32 inch too which is big enough. As a spare there is alo the portable which the kids used for computer games when they were little. It would take a bit of fitting though as it is analogue only so we would have to use the old Freeview box which has a digital tuner too.

Good, I'm not the only one here with multiple TV's. Our bedrooms are wired for TV, but we don't have TV's in any.

I'm about the same Cherry. A couple of hours on average.

Apart from the lunchtime news I like to watch a detective story between 9 and 11 in the evening. Something like a Miss Marple, Poirot or similar just to relax before bed, often falling asleep lol. Otherwise I don't pay that much attention to TV. I tend to be so engrossed in what I am doing that I forget things are on. There are sometimes particular things on but not often.

With the boys, I watch only 30-45 mins, but not every day. Depends if it's a day they'll be able to handle the input - sensory overload is a real issue here, and there are times when our schedule has been too packed. I also typically give them a day to recuperate after they've had a bunch of video games, TV, and busyness with their dad. (He generally doesn't seem to understand their specific needs, no matter how much documentation is provided.)

Most evenings, there'll be 60-90 mins of TV time for me once all kids are in bed. One night a week, they're away and then I admit that I start watching at supper time and it's probably a bit much; but it does allow me to catch up or watch entire movies... I'll have an extra night to do that this week, but I'm not sure if I'll take advantage of it or just play music instead. Anyway, I always make sure I have 30-60 minutes of reading at the end of the day, and that helps me wind down from TV and everything else!
