If one watched 2 hours of tv an evening, 2hrs x 80 years = 58,400 hrs. That's 1,460 x 40 hour working weeks, or 28 years of full time employment wasted on mindless junk.

Yet at the same time, so many people wish they had the time to do various things in their lives! It's nuts. No... I do not watch tv.

It's entirely possible to watch a lot less than 14 hours of TV in a week
yet still enjoy what there is.

You've been watching tv, and you think stating the totally obvious is in some way useful. Might there be a connection?

Nope, that time spent doing something other than working.

Depends on what you watch in those two hours.

do various things in their lives! It's nuts. No... I do not watch tv.

That certainly explains why you are so pig ignorant about everything.

Well, observation of your posts over the past few years shows you do
seem to have a lot of trouble missing the totally obvious - and you're
also not exactly immune from stating it at other times.
