I don't watch any daytime tv. I don't turn the tv on for "background noise" either. If you're just turning it on for noise you're wasting electricity. When my kids were young we lived where we only had one channel. We had three choices, on with sound, on without sound or off! LOL
I do watch some shows in the evenings. If I want noise during the day I can go to www.pandora.com and listen to radio since I have the computer on anyway.
Hubby on the other hand watches some sort of sports 24/7.
