I have such a huge backlog of unwatched DVDs: movies & TV shows. I have fallen behind because I have been watching too many shows this fall.

I'm actually looking forward to more re-runs so I can catch up!

Usually I have a lot of original stuff on my Replay TV that covers rerun time. For example, I record Boomtown but don't get around to watching the episodes until 2 or 3 weeks down the road.

Plus of course, there are those DVDs.

Most likely go to the gym, it feels good to be out of the house, much as I love tv, and I watch a lot, it's almost an addiction.

I usually watch it for the second time and most of the time I'll catch something that I didn't catch the first time I watched it. But for the 3rd time and beyond, change the channel for something else.

Depends on the show. Some shows I will watch the reruns and some I will throw in a DVD, read a book or play a game with the TV on in the background.

Where's the "brush up on self-pleasuring techniques" option?

Never, I repeat, never turn off the TV!

I don't catch many shows during their first runs, so rerun season is great for me - I catch a few shows that come highly recommended.

But, in my youth , I watched so much TV, that there was hardly a show that I didn't watch - so I read books.
