Do you think it's a form of hobby?

I guess. If watching movies is a hobby, then I don't see why watching TV wouldn't be one.

I consider doing something you enjoy often a hobby, so TV is one of them.

I dont. So many people watch TV that I consider it to be something comparable to driving. Almost everyone whos not in a third world country does it.

yea but just cause you drive doesn't mean you like racing which is a hobby. some people watch the news or just sportscenter or just casually view it. others are hardcore about it and watch tons of tv shows.

Of course, if it's something you like to do then it's a hobby

Racing, and driving are two different things. Just look at it like this, when youre on a social network site peoples profiles have something like this. "Favorite books", "Favorite movies", "Favorite TV shows". And then it will have "Hobbies" in a section all on its own. Televison is a given.

It's not just a hobby, it's a passion, and for some people it's a calling and their life's work.

"A hobby is an activity or interest that is undertaken for pleasure or relaxation, typically done during one's leisure time." That just makes it a very popular hobby.

Driving can be a hobby.

True. Perhaps I used the wrong analogy. Watching TV is like talking on the phone. There we go. :P

I look at it differently. Like a look at a hobby as something that you do that makes you ...... A variant. you know, like different.

That would just be a note worthy hobby. Watching TV is still a hobby just one you're not likely to mention if someone asked you due to how common it is.

You misunderstood me. Let's say someone runs as a hobby. Is it common? Yeah. But can you almost be certain that any given person runs as a hobby? No. But I ca. Almost be certainty that any given person watches TV.

TV fits my definition of hobby. Something enjoyable to do during your spare time.

I don't consider it one because you aren't really doing anything. You're just relaxing.

Don't get me wrong, I love TV. I'm watching it now, but it's not the same as video games. You don't watch video games. You play them.
