I generally watch TV while folding laundry. Or knitting. Or sewing. Or washing dishes. It takes me through boring household chores when my husband is at minyan, learning, doing other household chores and the kids are sleeping.
Let me chime in here in place of your good friend mosherose 🙂
You should be listening to a shiur or saying tehillim while doing these activities. It is assur to watch TV, period. Then again, you have no olam habba so shiurim and tehillim are worthless to you. <end sarcasm>
