I rarely watch TV. Usually it's just news and Food TV (Good Eats and 30 Minute Meals)

I can until 8:30 Pacific time on sunday. Then I need to turn it back on for the funniest 11 and a half minutes of TV.

Edit:
...with the exception of the fact that it's my alarm clock. It needs to come on for atleast 10 seconds each morning.

Yeah, right. New episodes of 24, The Shield, South Park and RAW/Smackdown. Let's not forget 30 Minute Meals, Good Eats, Iron Chef, It takes a Thief and Mythbusters.

I'll turn the TV off when someone pulls the remote from my cold, dead hand.

i think you could get better participation for "Scratch your Left Nut week"
good luck on that

I sometimes go months without watching TV, so I probably won't be watching it this week, but that won't be from any kind of effort from me.

No problem. Its exam week, and I've got 3 more papers to write, some homework to finish, and a project to finish and demo. TV won't be on until Saturday at the earliest.

Oh! The daily show. My roommates always watch and I usually join em.
