Anna's original question was about what to do while watching 'Masterchef', but these lists could cover all manner of hour long television shows.
I find this concept interesting. When I was a kid, we just watched television. We sat. We watched. We sang to the theme songs. We dashed to the loo during the ads. We got up to turn the dial on the television to change the channel. We did not do anything else.
But, all these years later, we try to fit so many things into our lives, that we do multiple things at once. So... here I sit, watching television and writing a blog post about what to do while watching television!
I have broken the ideas I have had (with the help of an intensive think tank with some peeps over lunch) into categories...

Do you do all that stuff in the ads or during the show?? Clever multi-tasking if it is during.
I don't actually watch very much television these days. I would rather read or catch up on blog reading/writing or chat with Mr Cool. And when I do watch tv I tend to just watch it and enjoy the show. I multi-task from 6am-8pm, I then try to do one thing at a time.
I zone out with the tv - can't multi-task! I will stand there holding a steaming iron, not moving, staring at a toothpaste ad.
Also love Castle and the Mentalist! Love parts of Bones, but Brennan annoys me.
@ Crazy Sister - Booth is the reason I watch Bones. Oh my goodness. He is one attractive specimen - oh, and such a good agent.
