Longest you have gone w/o turning on your TV

Walked through the living room and realized...i don't think my TV has been turned on this week. Kids have new bikes and weather is great. Wife watches most TV and usually does on her phone. Last thing i remember it being on for was watching final round of Players Championship

Not very long. I usually turn my TV on even if I'm not watching it. I like to have some background noise.

I think the longest has been 24 hours because I watch the news every morning while getting ready.

Picture boxes are the devil.

Last time I watched something on it was the finale of The Masked Singer with the kiddos. Before that show it was probably college football or NFL playoffs. I bought one for the bedroom Christmas before last and we binged through some series. But just don’t watch it that much.

I can't believe you missed This Is Us. Very powerful episode this week.

Not counting monitors for gaming and computer stuff, hardly ever for me. I usually only ever watch for sports and sometimes for TV series.

Since sometime in 2008...no joke. Got divorced and did away with it. Also I have not bought a bag of sugar in the same time period...excluding brown sugar used for making sauces and such.

I went on vacation for a week once and the TV didn't get turned on. That was a pretty crazy sleep for my TV.

The last 4 days since it broke on Sunday after The Players

It varies. Depends on how long the damn weather interrupts my dish reception.

Probably a week or so. I don’t really watch TV except for live sports and a handful of shows

I’ve gone almost two years without cable or anything. This was prior to streaming services.
I randomly go 2-3 months without ever turning it on. I’m not a big TV guy. Just prefer to be more active or working on a project.

Every time hurricanes wipe out the grid.

I was recently on a 30 day work detail to California and didn't turn on the TV in my hotel once during the trip.

I turned my living room TV on this morning solely to get a report on the Deer Park situation and for the traffic report otherwise it has been a while.

When we moved into a new house, there was a delay in getting DirectTv setup. Also we were just busy unpacking and getting settled that by the time the TV setup was ready to go again, we’d gone about 8 days without tv.
It was nice. We listened to music a lot and my son played outside a lot. I kind of wish I’d never turned it back on.
Then football season rolls around and I glued to the screen for hours again.
I love tv but sometimes i wish I didn’t love it so much.

..... You know brown sugar is sugar, right?

That's pretty much how it is at my house.
The longest it's been off was last spring when Cox was having some upgrades being done and it took over a week to get my area back on line-----oh, that and when Katrina hit and didn't have cable for months on end, but that doesn't really count.
