答案和解析：

本文作者讲述了家里因看电视而引起的问题。

86. 去掉much。作者现在根本就不看电视了。

87. 去掉was。used to do sth. 意为“过去常常做……”，而be used to doing sth 则表示“习惯于做……”。

88. watch 改为 watching。 watching在此句中作主语。

89. Unfortunate 改为 Unfortunately。此处要求用副词，作状语。

90. among 改为 in。此处my family为“我的家庭”，因此，不用 among。

91. the 改为 one。one与下一行的 another构成“一个……另一个”。

92. am 改为was。全文都是叙述过去的事情。

93. a lot 后加of。a lot不能直接修饰名词。 

94. 正确。

95. someone 改为everyone / everybody。从全文语义来看，应为“每一个人”。
