In the last two months, I have watched no prime time TV at all.

On weekends I turn it on for sports while I eat lunch. Maybe 30 minutes.

One day a week I stay home, and watch the noon news while I eat lunch. 30 minutes more.

That's it.

Well, okay, if you only watch an hour a week, I'm 30 minutes a week ahead of you. Except when I'm watching I'm not really watching, but it's just background while I'm eating.

I take it, then, that you don't watch any news. As I don't.

Things may change a bit when we get my mother in law's dish installed, since we'll have a second receiver we can use. But I doubt it.

Basically, except for sports I find TV boring and slow moving. And the sports are slow moving, but since I'm always doing someting else at the same time and only picking up my head to watch the reruns of great plays when the noise level suddenly goes up, I'm not sure what it really counts for.

When football season comes, I'll usually watch a few hours of football a week, but again, I'm always doing something else -- catching up on magazines or something.

So I'm willing to call it a draw if you are.
