Lately I’ve realized that I can’t watch a show all the way through on television. I obsessively channel surf trying to see what else is on T.V. I often forget that I was watching another show, so I end up seeing multiple shows at the same time, but missing important parts of each.

It’s like I’ve watched entire seasons of Lost, HGTV specials, discovery TV, and BCC, but I couldn’t’ tell you any of what I saw.

Does anyone else obsessively channel surf?

I do! I noticed that about myself to!


I've actually started to find it annoying

I flick through them all during the ad breaks.

I change tvs every few minutes to see which one has the better picture, depending on how the show was filmed. then i throw the tvs out my window.

It isn't obsessively channel surfing, it's a result of short attention span, but it's a good thing. I do it. It is because I'm always looking for a sound bite or info to consume, and I am not intrested in consumer product spots.
