Recently, I spend lots of time watching T.V. The reason is to try to listen English without seeing any script or captions. When I first came here, I couldn't understand all most every words, so I started to watch with captions on it. However, all of a sudden I realized that I wasn't concentrating in listening, I was just watching the captions on the bottom. My eyes were following the captions whenever I watched T.V.
After then, I began to watch without the captions. Although I had to tune in the T.V with the highest volume, it was really useful for me to improve my English. Actually, if it were your own language, I wouldn't recommend this method. However, to be able to listen more (not just an academic English), I believe T.V is a good method to improve your English through News, Talkshows, or even reality programs.

To improve the English skills by watching TV and listen to native speaker is very helpful for your normal conversation.
In the U.S. I was only one time in the cinema and I was very surprised that I was able to understand the movie without problems.
Unfortunatly, I can' t watch T.V. because we don' t a provider and I should care to find the rigth provider.
I agree your opinion watching TV is good method to improve our English skill. Plus, I recommend you to take a memo when you get unknown words or sentences. There are a lot of slungs and american jokes we could not laugh. I can understand the gesture or the direct jokes, but it is very tough to understand American language usage.
