Do Your pups Watch TV?

My old dog Jasmine loved watching TV - her eyesight wasn't very good her last year and we actually wondered if it was from watching tv everyday for 13 years, LOL. She knew the Cops song and would run to the TV when she heard it - that was probably her favorite show. She'd also perk up when she heard certain commercials and my mom and I would have NO idea why, but sure enough at the end it would show a dog for maybe half a second. She'd even recognize cartoon dogs and cats.
While Jasmine would just quietly lay there and watch it for hours, Dally will occasionally see a dog and run up and jump on the TV. It's not really watching, just reacting to whatever she happens to see. I don't think she's as bright as Jasmine was, haha.

Caleb used to watch TV. Westminster was a biggie. The weird thing is, he could be sound asleep and know when it was on. He would wake up stare at the tv until a commercial came on. That always surprised me because it's not like there are barking dogs or anything. He also watched duck hunting shows, and bull riding. I didn't realize how much he watched bull riding until I was watching a bucking bull auction last year. They were showing young bulls with a "bucking dummy" (basically a weighted box strapped to their backs, nothing human like about it). When the dummy came off, Caleb kept looking at it, then back to me with a confused look on his face. I'm figuring he was either waiting for the "cowboy" to get up and leave the arena or for someone to go "help" him.
ETA- he hasn't watched much tv lately, tho.
