Most of the older people I know are the same way. They just don't watch it very much.
And of course kids these days hardly watch television at all. They are too busy on their smart phones.
The rest of us I think mostly just watch stuff like the shows on Pay Channels like "Game Of Thrones".
I can hardly stand to watch the "news" anymore.
Especially when something actually HAPPENS. lol
They will run the "story" into the ground until you just don't give a damn about it anymore.
For instance, the missing airplane. It was 24 hours around the clock "reporting". And the "reporting" was just talking heads discussing what they THINK might have happened. 
It's just ridiculous... |
While it is no scientific data, I can say that my mom lives in a retirement center and watching TV is the only thing most of the residence do. The place has a ton of activities, but only about 20% of the people there actually go to any of them. The rest sit in their rooms all day and watch the tube.
My mom used to do nothing but watch TV from the minute she woke up until she went to bed. Her moving their actually fixed that because she got into the other stuff and made friends so now she hardly watches anything, but there are a ton of people there that do nothing else.
