It's not that I can't sit quietly in front of a tv, but he watches 5 or 6 shows at the same time and flips through constantly.
How irritating. I take the remote off anyone who doesn't know when to stop pressing buttons. I can't sit still in front of the telly though, there's just not enough going on. I have even been known to read, knit and watch TV at the same time just to occupy my mind, particularly if it is an American sitcom. Family and friends get annoyed when I tell them the plot after the first five minutes, then proceed to critique the movie/show while it's playing. Haven't you got a game you'd rather be playing, they ask? Yup! I say. :)
This is exactly how I got back to the game, by spoiling all the shows he was watching at once. There is very little on tv that can capture my interest the way any flickering movement captures his. If the room is a mess, there's dusting, cooking, dishes or anything to be done, I can tolerate it or I can crochet or read at the same time, but all in all, I'd prefer to be in front of my computer.

Witches:
I didn't watch television at all for three years, and I loved it. Others in the house watched but I found other things to do.
Now that my daughter is 8, she has shows she likes and I've gotten sucked in again. I do enjoy Kim Possible, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and Jimmy Neutron, but that's about it. She's obsessed with this stupid made-for-television movie the Disney channel keeps showing called Twitches, starring the stars of Sister, Sister. It's truly dreadful. But then I remember the shows I was obsessed with at her age and cut her some slack. Escape From Witch Mountain, anyone? Or was that Escape To Witch Mountain. It's been awhile. ;D
I draw the line at reality TV, though. In fact, I don't have any shows I feel I have to see, other than the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the occasional South Park.
Oh, and if the Gilmore Girls is on I always get sucked in. I've never seen it before, so the reruns are new to me.
