Law and Order, or one of it's iterations, will be playing at all times on at least one channel. This is written in stone.

I'm an underemployed alcoholic so I spend a lot of time watching daytime TV. Most everything is garbage now so I mostly end up watching PBS. Usually some nature documentary or a cooking show or craft show during the day. The networks are so lame with judge shows or infomercials. I can't even watch The Price is Right anymore because I can't stand how obnoxious the audience and guests act. I like game shows with decorum like Jeopardy!.

homeless guy posted:I'm an underemployed alcoholic so I spend a lot of time watching daytime TV. Serious question: why do you watch daytime TV instead of other media? When I was a kid during summer break and wanted to watch something it was either daytime TV or walking all the way to the Blockbuster/library to rent a movie, so I understand why it used to be a foregone conclusion to consume garbage. But there are a billion streaming services now (or filez if you're broke) that have huge libraries of actually good content, no commercials, and the ability to choose what you want. I can't see why anyone would bother with daytime TV without also being 60+ years old and too afraid of change to use a better alternative.

People who are unemployed and alcoholic are generally not looking for the newest stimulating content, it's more of background noise. I gravitate between music and TV as background noise when I'm on the computer, and I intentionally go to bullshit cable because I don't have to think about it or pay attention, I can just occasionally turn my head to see Jon Taffer screaming at a college student for not knowing how to make a proper Manhattan.

You severely underestimate the amount of time available to you when you're un/underemployed. It's super easy to binge your way through a series when your day consists of waking up and showering (optional), eating (optional). Also, depending on your circumstances, streaming services can be a luxury. Daytime TV after a while is sorta like a clock, you're not really in it to watch Rachel Ray, it's that Rachel Ray kills the hour before Cops. Or in my case, I watched Dr. Oz, because Dr. Oz was on after Maury and meant it was time for a nap.

A lot of it is just background noise while I'm browsing the forums. And choice overload. Thanks to the Internet I literally have access to everything ever made. Starting with that level of choice, how do I decide what to watch? I just turn on the TV and select from my limited options to find something to watch. Same reason I watch a movie I already own when I catch it channel surfing. when I watch Netflix most of the time I just spend half an hour scrolling through all the shows and then turn it off because I say there's nothing to watch

Julius CSAR posted:How about Pacific Blue, the show about beach bike cops in LA? oh poo poo son e: what I remember most about Beastmaster is that it actually had a long, complicated overarching backstory and plot. I guess it makes sense, the people watching it as a good show are probably the soap opera crowd, who have practiced the ability to follow multi-year, 20-person plot arcs
