This probably depends on where you live. Statistics from 1998 for Canada (http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/010125/d010125a.htm) says children between the ages of 2 and 17 watch 15.5 hours per week on average. These statistics (http://members.iquest.net/~macihms/HomeEd/tvfacts.html) about the USA say that the average American youth watches 1500 hours of television per year -- almost 2x as much as a Canadian youth.

I think it's not as much as it use to be. I think they split it now watching tv, playing console on tv, or going on the internet. No wonder the world is getting fatter!

It depends on what kind of kid it is. I used to spend my whole day watching TV. Then I got into pot and I spend very little time indoors. Usually I am outside making snowmen or searching for a job. I built a fort with some friends and have made some cool trails through the woods. But if you have a kid who doesn't enjoy sports or hobbies but maybe loves to read they might spend most of the day reading instead of watching TV. Or say you have a kid really into dance maybe they only watch 3 hours of TV a week because the rest is spent in dance class. Who knows I know people in both the scenarios above.
