How long can you watch TV in one sitting? I am too ADD to sit through more than an hour but sometimes I would love to plop on the sofa and not move for the day.

I watched at least 15 episodes of Gossip Girl this weekend. In my defense, I was all alone and the weather hasn't been all that great. I can veg out like its my job.

Oh I'm capable of lying on the couch and watching all day, if only these damn dogs didn't need exercise.  |

I could sit and watch all seven seasons of the West Wing in one sitting as long as I could hit pause to go to the bathroom and get food!

Well, I used to sit and watch football from 10 am to 10 pm, so...12 hours.
A specific tv show? I've probably done 6 hours when not sick.
I watched probably 10 hours a day for a couple of days when I was sick while pg with ds.

Given some gloomy weather and not having any errands to run, I could settle in and watch a good 6-8 hours worth. I go for Property Borthers, Fixer Upper, House Hunters, etc. type shows.
If the weather is nice, I cant spend too much time watching tv. I have to get out and soak up the sun.

two episodes is usually about all I can handle. Three if I'm not feeling well. After that I get a bit stir crazy and need to move on to something else.

I think I've spent more than one lazy Saturday watching at least 8 episodes in a row. I don't tell anybody in real life that, though.  |

As for the OP, hypothetically, I could sit and watch television all day and all night. Just minimal breaks for food and bathroom. Realistically, there are these people who keeping calling me "Mom" every time they see me and always have some task or another for me to do. Really puts a cramp in the whole Veggin' like it's my job thing. |

My tv is in such a place that I don't actually have to sit and watch tv. I can binge watch with the best of them, but I can also putter around in the kitchen, the living area, etc. The laptop generally sits on the bar, which faces the tv, so I can also play around on the computer while watching.
I am not ADD or anything, but I don't like to sit and watch tv. I can sit until the end of time reading, just not to watch tv.

I can only give TV my attention after my boys are in bed, so DH and I can watch 1-2 shows. If the kids and DH were out of town, I could easily watch multiple hours.

Two episodes, I guess, because I'm always ready to move on to something else as soon as a movie is over. I rarely just watch though. I'm nearly always on the laptop/iPad, sorting something (recipes, etc), folding laundry or something else. I don't just sit and watch well. (Ironically, I can sit on the laptop/iPad for hours at a time!)

Our TV is on pretty much all day and evening ... I watch all day long but sit at the kitchen table on the laptop at the same time ... my addictions  Dh watches in the evening and I'll usually watch a couple of episodes of something with him ... right now we're making our way through Mad Men  |

I watched about 9 hours of the Monkees marathon, on IFC yesterday. So, my moment from the couch/bed was minimal. I did get up to take out laundry and fold it, etc., and a few other things, but that was about it.

I watched all 13 episodes of Grace and Frankie on Netflix, plus a Michael Douglas movie and the last 2 parts of Lonesome Dove...all over the Memorial Day weekend. I like to knit and watch TV...I get up and do chores in between episodes, or make a little break to fill washer, empty dryer, chop veggies, etc.

And truth be told, even though they don't look for me often anymore (they are teens, so I'm pretty much on 'ignore' in their life) I still feel compelled to do things like make sure there's food in the house, run the dishwasher, drive the younger one to school, etc. Now, this summer when he'll be in some camp or other for most of it, the 19 yr. old can fend for himself and I plan on working full time for the Couch Tomato Company! |

I can maybe watch two movies in a row, but after that I get antsy and need to do something else.

As much as I'd sometimes love to do this, I can't do it. The few times I've had a spare couple of hours I would have felt too guilty to sit and do nothing. Even when we have family movie nights, I'm up and down like a yo-yo picking up dog toys, prepping food, etc.

Depends. When I was laid up with my knee....all day because doing anything else was painful. If I'm healthy and up and around, I can maybe watch an episode or two at a time and then I'm done.

I can barely make it through a 1 hour episode of anything without getting up to do something. Ten years ago, I would have given a totally different answer.
The older I get (and I'm far from old), the shorter my attention span gets.

I wish I could. I just can't. My attention span is almost non-existent the older I get and after chemo. I'm like a flea. I sit down to watch something and within minutes, I am jumping up to go do something that suddenly seems to require my urgent attention. DH is a TV addict. He had to go to his dad's house last year to take care of him. He was gone for 10 days and almost passed out when I confessed that the living room TV had not been turned on since he left. I swear he ran over to it and hugged it. Guess I wasn't showing it the proper love. lol I took a spare bedroom and made it into a reading room. He put a big screen TV in it.  I did one time watch 18 episodes of Revenge over a weekend while recovering from my TRAM flap reconstruction. Other than that, I am good for maybe an hour...max. |

I never just sit and watch TV - I am always doing something else (like crocheting, knitting, coloring, etc). Most the time, 2 hours is enough for me but I can watch for 3 hours (especially Thursday night, when all my shows come on ) |

Around Halloween when Scifi or Chiller are showing all the the horror movies, I can grab a couple of cokes, a bag of Doritos and veg out all day and all night! Otherwise, about an hour is all I can stand.

It really depends on my mood. Sometimes I will sit and watch for hours but most of the time I watch while doing something else like scrapbooking. Dh is ADHD and he will put on a movie then get up and do the dishes within the first five minutes.

I finally got my daughter hooked yesterday on Orange is the New Black. She emailed me this morning saying she was up until eleven o'clock last night watching it and thanked me (sarcastically) for introducing her to the time suck. I'm starting from the beginning of OITNB and watching it again before the new season starts in a couple of weeks. I can watch about four episodes before I need to take a break but I can watch all thirteen episodes in one day if it is entertaining enough and I get enough breaks every three or four episodes. |

I think about 3 hours is my limit for watching TV/online.
On the other hand, I can sit and read all day long.
