    Does anyone else find it comfortably soothing to watch snooker on television?

    Not so much with snooker, but I kind of feel the same way about golf.

    Golf isn't televised live here, but it probably won't do it for me as much as snooker.

    I've probably watched close to a thousand hours of snooker when I was playing billiards competitively.

    Watching sports on tv is the next best thing to doing nothing while still actually doing something. :coffee:

    The most interesting thing regarding a snooker or pool table on tv is this scene from Trainspotting:

    "He's a mate so what can you do?"

    Snooker is incredibly boring to me

    Watching paint dry would be exciting in comparison

    nice theme tune, i never really saw the appeal as a spectator sport though, so i don't watch it.

    Seems like people didn't get my point. I never said it was exciting and it isn't meant to be action packed and commented by loud commentators.

    I fall asleep really nicely to the din of televised NFL football turned down to barely audible.

    I got your point.

    Snooker doesn't relax me it bores the crap out of me.
    It sucks the life out of me.
    It doesn't relax me - it has the opposite effect.
    I wouldn't waste my electricity having it on for long periods of time.

    Seems like you don't get the point of an internet forum.
