It seems loads of people have time to not just keep up with every major TV show on air/streaming right now but rewatch stuff as well. Have read comments from people who say they have m just rewatched The Office or Buffy. Aren’t these shows 100 episodes plus? Do people just spend all their free time binging TV shows?

I find it exhausting just keeping up with NFL football, New Amsterdam, Chicago Med, Fire, P.D., SVU and Organized Crime, and the Equalizer. I'm so happy when it's summer and they're all off, then the only show I have to keep up with is America's Got Talent.

Maybe the better question is this: Why do we re-visit shows that we have already seen? My answer for the question is because the show is good enough to watch again and maybe it takes us back to a time that we wish that we could live all over again because we miss it enough.
God bless you always!!!

WFH helps. Something like The Office is easy enough to just have in the background while working.

I don't watch every single new show... Just what I'm interested in... It takes alot for me to invest in a new show these days. It really has to hook me... Horror/suspense anthology shows I never get tired of.
American horror story
American Crime story
Family Guy
American Dad
Those are my usual go to's for new episodes... Possibly a rewatch... Right now I'm wrapping up "Midsomer Murders". It was quite the chore to get through the last few seasons. (1997-2020) each episode is 90 minutes.

Right now I'm wrapping up "Midsomer Murders". It was quite the chore to get through the last few seasons. (1997-2020) each episode is 90 minutes. Yeah, I guess that is also a reason to why I have not exactly put in too much effort, in looking up more new or modern tv-shows, no matter how much critical appreciation they seem to get. But if that happens, where I get a sudden interest, or is hooked on for a while. It is usually the same story, over and over. The first few seasons is great, but then some dramatic changes go on, where either the show itself seems to go on for far too long, or just looses steam, or the characters I care for and find interesting, is suddenly written out or changes completely, and I guess it is kind of "safer" to go back to ones older favorite shows, and knowing what to expect. I would of course have loved, to find a new favorite, one that hold onto my attention, all the way through, but time is of course a big factor as well. And since movies and music is my main objective, I just do not have too much time left, for tv-shows, at least these days. However, I do love to watch a few Poirot or Midsomer Murders episodes (well, they usually go on for almost 100-110 minutes, so maybe tv movies more like it) during late summer nights, but I kind of fall out of Midsomer Murders, when John Nettles retired, and I guess that is already 10 years since it happened. Of those classic or older popular tv-series, that I would love to finally be able of see most of the seasons or all the way through, is X-Files, NYPD Blue, Twin Peaks, Married With Children and maybe a few others, I cannot remember right now.

Tell me about it. I have literally dozens of TV shows I would like to watch in my Netflix and Amazon lists, and that's not counting all the shows I own on DVD/Blu-Ray. I would love to be able to re-watch some old favourites, but who has the time for that?

Use to binge television when television was great. Most everything pretty much blows these days thanks to woke culture so I watch far far less. The truth is if you're binging that much television you probably have no life.

All those shows do like 22 episodes a year. I think that's too many. If they did 8-13 and aired them over consecutive weeks I think it could actually grow their audience. It would allow people to keep up with them a little easier.

I watch a lot of TV. Probably way too much. A good amount of it I kinda half-watch. By that I mean I put it on in the background while I'm doing other things. I like just having my TV on, so I figure I minus well keep up with some of the newest shows. I just record everything on my DVR and go through at my own pace. Sometimes I fall weeks or months behind, but that doesn't really bother me. The other half of TV I fully watch. By that I mean I'm not on my phone or working on other things while watching. The shows have my full attention. There's probably at least a good 10 shows I'm fully watching at one period of time. So that equals me watching 1-2 episodes per night.

(Unless of course it's like a miniseries. And it's usually 3 to 4 episodes and done.) |
