no. my dad eats every single meal laying on his side in front of the tv. he is a 300 lb diabetic and disgusts me.

he eats all of his meals on plastic plates that were included with some TV dinners he bought in the 1980s. he drinks iced tea sweetened with saccharin from plastic promotional cups with the walmart logo that were a giveaway item at the local walmart.

Haven't watched a modern tv show since I was an adolescent, probably before you were spawned. However, I will watch old westerns like Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel, Cheyenne, Bonanza, Kungfu on youtube or netflix sometimes. I've seen all the Twilight Zones and Studio 51's so many times I don't watch them anymore.

I eat in front of my PC if it's not a particularly good meal or if I'm alone.
I don't think families should eat in front of tv or in their own rooms. I appreciated doing it at other peoples houses as a kid but I think it's important for a family to eat together.

Unless I go out with someone on the rare occasion (these days, at least), I always eat in front of the TV. There's nothing specific I watch, but when I don't have anything on the DVR or Netflix it's usually just MSNBC. It's a pretty bad time to live in America.

I read a thread on plebbit about how this chick's boyfriend was watching a show on Netflix and it was making her uncomfortable. After sussing out that the show she was referring to was Bojack Horseman. Someone replied that the very dark themes only get worse in the newest season so she should definitely avoid them because only a person that has never experienced trauma could ever find them funny and even then that person probably has serious issues to find it "entertaining".

i refuse to eat unless i'm watching something. can't stand movies where someone makes food, sits down at a "dinner table", takes a bite, sets down their utensils, and looks around. who the fuck does that.
can't even read a book, which would be ideal to make food last longer. Instead, every time you take your knife and fork to cut another piece, the book loses its page. and you'd think, 'well just cut it all up beforehand', but then you'd eat too quickly
fuck i hate anything but not sitting in front of my tv/monitor and eating.

Yeah, it's not for sjw's who get "triggered" easily and look for "safe spaces". At the same time, you really need a little bit of life experience to really appreciate the show; if you haven't been in relationships where you cared about someone but fucked up and lost something important to you, and then got older and realized that you're probably never going to get that back, and that you're slowly dying, you probably wont really like the show. Ironically, on the other hand, if you start a Bojack thread on /tv/ everyone will scream "plebbit!"

Growing up with my mother, we always ate meals at the table - as a family.
We would talk about our days mostly.

Then I moved in with my dad and every meal was eaten in front of the TV. No talking.
