Do you prefer binge watching? To the point where you will wait until a season is over to even watch a show? Or do you prefer watching each new episode each week? And waiting another week for the next episode?

I voted Yes. Most of the time. But there are exceptions, like news programs. And talk programs that talk about news and current events.
But I prefer streaming to live TV. Mainly because of commercials. And the freedom to watch when I want. Instead of being imprisoned by a broadcast schedule. And fast forward, reverse, pause, closed captioning, etc.

I am still pretty much an old school person, but I will admit that I have held back with the Fuller House show mostly because I don't have Netflix which is why I have purchased the show on DVD. So far, I have only watched the first episode of the show. It was good, but I won't watch the rest until the whole show is on DVD. My being such a big fan of the two missing in action actresses, Mary-Kate and Ashley of course, is the reason for my frame of mind where the show is concerned. I purchased the show because its a continuation of where they got started, but with them not being a part of the new material, I am not all that much in a hurry to watch it.
God bless you and the girls always!!!

I do a lot more binge-watching than I used to , and it's due primarily to the changing
tv media environment , such as the advent of proprietary streaming services like Fox ,
Google , Hulu , Netflix , Amazon , NatGeo , Apple , Disney , Vimeo , YouTube , IMDb &
with commercial television stations streaming shows as well .
Long gone are the days of waiting for the next episode of a tv show . I still watch
free-to-air tv , but mainly for news , movies , documentaries , reality or game shows .
It is a different perception and time-related organisation of viewing , but I generally
will only watch 2 episodes of a show a day , at the most .

Yes.
Its likely a product of having the ability to binge watch shows these past however many years, but nowadays i struggle to make time for shows on a weekly basis. I tend to fall behind and then give up on it rather than catch up.

family series , with the twins in their teens . I was just shocked now to realise this series was made in 2001 (my head
was wrapped around 2010) . I also got that series because I just loved anything that the character actor Taylor Negron
was in . Sadly he has since passed away  . The Olsen Twins later movies are fun too !

I like both binge watching and weekly viewing. Really it just depends on the show. Some are better for binge watching and others work better for weekly viewing.

No, I prefer to stretch it out. The longer the viewing experience, the longer I get to enjoy it.

To me, So Little Time was good stuff and so was the Full House follow up named Two Of A Kind.

P.S. Taylor did a great job playing Manuelo, but I'll always remember him as the guy who sits on the nachos in the Angels In The Outfield film too.

Game of Thrones made me appreciate the weekly way more. Whereas before I tended to binge, I realized I was missing out on part of the fun which is the speculation and discussion between eps. Plus I think I pay more attention that way. More time to process things and take in information.
It still has its downsides. You never know if or when a show will shit the bed, and filler episodes are extra lame because of the waiting. But another benefit is that it's less of a daunting task to watch one episode vs having a whole show or season sitting there.

I prefer binge watching. I used to watch entire seasons on weekends, but today I rarely watch more than 3-4 episodes a day.

It depends on the show and how much time I have.
Generally I do not care if itâs weekly. I assume most streaming is like that except for Netflix and Amazon.

I do prefer to binge. Though my idea of 'binge' is not necessarily watching episode after episode in a single day.
There are no current scripted tv shows I watched week to week.
I usually end up buying complete seasons of series of older tv shows and binge watch them. I am finding there are a ton of great shows, too. And inexpensive.
I am currently watching The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr.
