I don't watch much of anything on TV because I can feel my intelligence being drained during commercials. I also refuse to watch a large amount of programs including sitcoms and most things on primetime for the same reason.
I watch Law and Order, Mythbusters, and Bob Ross' painting show if it's on the PBS channel. And I record them so I don't have to see commercials.
I'd say the negative reaction people have to the "I don't watch TV" declaration is because a lot of people who say that have a holier-than-thou attitude about it.
I also think your responses in here are going to be heavily skewed (towards not watching TV as much) compared to the general populace.
