It may depend on the person.  Personally, I feel like I can only take so much watching TV, and I'll probably feel like doing something else after maybe 2-3 hours.  TV is a non-interactive form of entertainment, and sometimes I feel like I want to do something that involves keeping my mind more active, rather than just passively watching things.

 N>> ...but most TV shows only have one episode released each
 N>> week.  And these days, many TV shows only have around 10-15
 N>> episodes per season (compared to 20+ years ago, when TV
 N>> shows commonly had around 25 episodes per season).

 Og> So, then you record them all, and binge watch them over an

 Og> things. :(

The simple answer is, prioritize friends and family over TV, especially when that TV content will still be there for you to watch later.
