Do you ever "binge" watch?

[Jenster]

Just curious if you ever watch TV or DVDs in long stretches, like for hours at a time?

I checked out the series "House" from the library and found myself watching all four episodes last night. Tonight I've watched two more episodes so far. Might just keep on going.

I was wondering if there's any relationships between how you feel (stressed, for example) and whether you "binge" TV watch?

For me, work's been pretty overwhelming, so I think I'm trying to escape a bit. Admittedly, four episodes is quite a few hours!

Yeah, I do, too.
This winter I was really stressed out.
In order to escape, I watched over 20 hours worth of Pride and Prejudice!
And I read the book twice!

One film version is 2 hours long,
the other is 5 hours long.

I also binge on the computer,
but I'm trying to discipline myself about that.

...only to excess.

I rarely binge watch.

 

[bill'swife]

yep...shows that I DVR...mostly my soaps.

 

[tbird_energizerbunny]

I do, but not excessively. (kinda a contradiction huh?)

By that I mean, I'll get on this kick for watching movies or shows, but then fall out of them, later like three or four weeks later, I'll get on a kick. I don't watch them one after the other, but I'll watch like 2 or3 movies a day.

I don't do shows.

YES!!!!! P&P. That story's good no matter who does it.

...only to excess.

LOL!

Ya, I know how addictive soaps can get, bill'swife. For me, House is the same way. I'm thinking of jumping on NetFlix so I can stop hunting the DVDs down at various libraries.

Tbird, that makes sense. I'm that way with movie watching (in the theatre). Maybe about a month or two ago, I just HAD to see some movies, so I went three times in one week. But then after that, I was "normal" again and I haven't seen a movie in the theatre since!

We did when we decided to get into Lost....at the end of Season 2!

So, we bought Season 1 on DVD and watched it quite quickly. THEN when Season 2 came out, we bought that and caught ourselves up with about a week or less til the start of Season 3.

Now...the long wait....until January, I think it is.


So, mainly at times like that....did that years ago with another show on video as well.

We've done it with a few series that we started watching years after it started:

LOST
Big Love
Scrubs
South Park (watched all 13??? seasons... though it was over a long period of time LOL)

Needless to say netflix is our best friend

I will binge watch DVR'ed stuff, like HGTV or The Closer.
