A. Yes. I'm ashamed to admit it, but we actually have three TVs. Three TVs for four people, two of which are children. We have cable because we live in the boondocks and we wouldn't even get the basic channels if we didn't have it. Our cable service is also tied to our internet service. I'd probably get rid of the extended cable if it weren't for that reason. (And Project Runway and the Disney Channel. I used to be a slave to the Food Network, but it's programming has been terrible lately.)

B. Honestly? Too many. Probably three hours a day. But a lot of that is 'passive' watching i.e. watching while folding clothes, listening while my children watch, etc. We try to limit our TV to the evenings after dinner. And we don't watch any TV at all on Sundays.

C. We watch pretty much everything live. We've been getting a lot of old favorites off of Netflix (Sports Night, Northern Exposure), and we stick in Frefly at least once a week.

D. I usually flip to something else when a commercial comes on.

BTW- do you mind if I friend you? You always have such interesting polls-that-aren't-really-a-poll. :D
