Does anyone (want to admit) talking back to the TV?

 I am limited to where I can go, mobility issues and if I do get out, one day out equals at least four days in bed.  I have found on my down days that I talk back to the tv.  I live alone, me and my service dog, who keeps me safe.  I talk to him, but he does not talk back.  I have several different medical issues that are to complicated to explain here.

I live alone as well...I share my place with my fur kids.  I am also limited as to mobility due to dependence on oxygen 24/7, whenever I do go out it has to be planned so I can take along enough portable tanks.  I try to avoid watching too much television because I don't like a lot of it, especially sitcoms...yucky.  When I talk back it's usually during the airing of The Apprentice.  I have found myself talking back to the Today show of late and to Hoda and Kathy Lee...Both shows have really dropped in their intelligence and that makes me sad.

Yes, I definitely talk to the tv especially during the political news.

Now my 19 year old daughter has started doing it, too, and not just answering questions during Jeopardy!

As the political debates start you will probably hear me yelling at the tv where ever you live!

 I hooked up my hulky bulky tv so I can record the Presidential debates.  I will go over them with a fine tooth comb.  I also have a bag of foam 'bricks' that I toss that the TV, too.

I DID have an extended warranty, although putting your head through a TV is a first, but they will be replacing my flat screen TV with two smaller units, since this model is no longer made.  I will be getting two 32 inch Samsung TV's, one for the living room and one for the study.  I am using my ds's 1989 tv, that the picture is so blurry I can only listen to it, not watch it.  I put a towel over the screen.
