Seems like I have a bazillion channels but I can’t ever find anything to watch. Ultimately I always, at some point during the day, I end up watching COPS or The First 48. Before I know it I’ve binged watched for way too long. Anyone else do the same?

    I no longer have cable. But when I did and saw nothing else interesting (which was almost every day), I would watch those same two shows.

    They are kind of addicting. Or any super hero movies. Also, Matrix series, Underworld series.

    I haven't even seen the Matrix yet. I really have to because everybody's always talking about different color pills and apparently it's a Matrix reference.

    Oh yes you must go down the rabbit hole!!

    At my house it is Family Feud. Just got satellite again not too long ago and the amount of channels is overwhelming. Family Feud seems to always be on! That or Impractical Jokers

    I LOVE Impractical Jokers! I get so embarrassed for them though and I usually have to hide my face....lol

    I always load the DVR up on weather shows (like tornado documentaries), House Hunters International, or Locked Up Abroad. These are our go to's when there's nothing else on.

    Some of those episodes have had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe, then some are just meh. It's a good thing to watch if you feel bummed at all though.

    How in the world do those people they are pranking not know something is about to go down?!?!? I’d be like “dude! WTF are you doing?”

    I usually have the Travel Channel on in the background. I find their foodie related programming to be better than the Cooking Channel's, or even the Food Network. I'm all about those one-hour blocks of Top 100 Steakhouses or World's Fattest Buffets.

    HGTV, Documentaries, or I’ll download a movie.

    HGTV is like Pinterest to me. It’s best I stay away from that channel 😳

    I can relate to this. If I get into a serious binge I someone always end up at homesence the same day, coming back with gold elephants and more throw pillows cause I don’t already have enough.

    Or just rearrange the whole damn living room and consider knocking out a wall to make the room bigger!

    I find myself watching stupid mindless stuff sometimes. Cartoon Network, Buzzr, GSN, TVland, reruns on TBS, etc.
