How do you watch your favorite tv shows? Live or recorded?
Do you watch them as soon as the come out or in binge sessions? Do you subscribe to a service like Netflix or Hulu? Or something else that offers shows on demand.

I'm easily seasons behind on my favorites. I record most of them, but have been known to use Netflix. Story telling seems to feel a little different when you don't have to wait a week to find out what happens.

I love a good bit of telly- I tend wherever possible to watch them as they come on but I am a big fan of using catch up tv and I love Netflix. Have loved watching Grimm, American Horror Story, Bates Motel, Hemlock Grove and currently watching Once Upon a Time and agree being able to marathon it is great!

Because of my work schedule it's difficult to watch anything "live". So I usually end up using Netflix, Hulu, or On Demand to watch shows.

I don't generally binge watch though, I might watch 2 episodes of a show in the same night, but more than that I start getting antsy.

Same.

Although I have to admit being spoiled with the ability to binge watch, which wasn't an option growing up for anyone over the age of 25. If you missed an episode of your favorite show, you just missed it. Until and if it got picked up in syndication several years later.

I very rarely watch things at the time they go out, I record a lot of things and then watch them as and when I please. If it's a show such as Britain's Got Talent then I'll try and watch it on the night it's on, however I'll still watch it later than it's on so that I can skip through the adverts.

I don't have Netflix, but my TV package has an On Demand feature, it's not the best but it does have some good shows at times.

Oh, I am currently trying to binge watch Switched at Birth, I'm on Series 2 of 4 and my On Demand feature will be getting cut off next month and being replaced with Netflix (which I won't be having)

I very rarely watch live tv other then the news or a sporting event. I have Netflix. I usually watch maybe 2-3 episodes maximum before I get itchy in my seat looking for something to do. I usually do other things when I watch tv, unless it's the tv I watch just before bed because then I'm tired and I watch tv until I fall asleep.

I've always been a binge watcher, and I tend to watch the same thing over and over again if I really like it. I think I've watched every episode of The West Wing at least 10 times. I own all the DVDS to my favorite show and I also watch stuff on netflix whenever I can.

We binge watched breaking bad like the couple weeks before the finale. The last show we watched was Arrow, only now we have to wait t like September for the 3rd season. Unless I buy it. Netflix gets so judgy. "Are you sure you want to keep watching this?" Lol

It feels weird to buy streaming regular tv shows. DVD sets I understand, but a streaming season pass for one show feels weird still. I was thinking about Hulu plus, it has more than Netflix streaming, but then I wonder if I'll use it enough.

I've got better call Saul, the last half season of walking dead, agent carter and game of thrones waiting.

We did with breaking bad, i was like muuh why do i want to watch that, but then watched one and was hooked. I haven't got round to better call saul yet, thats next on my list.

I found "the royals" quite a surprising one. I dont usually like that type of show and tbh British shows , dont have a scratch on US ones, but i really enjoyed it. I've actually watched it from the start though, so i've a whole year to wait...

Orphan blacks a good one to...
cant you tell i have no life

I live in Albuquerque, I swear I was the last one here to see breaking bad. Everyone was talking about it. Everyone.

I've seen bits of orphan black on bbc. It looks interesting to add to my list someday.
