There are some shows I just couldn't bare to wait a season on, ...
I've never understood this feeling. You don't wait any more doing it that way than you do getting it delayed on Netflix.
Some shows are more fun to take in weekly, discuss online, watch theories. We have a Walking Dead party group for example.
Do you get together to discuss the plot holes and inconsistencies? Because that's why I had to quit watching it first season. There's so little continuity.

That and it was boring? Yes, that's the kind of stuff one would discuss. but I don't know anyone that watches anything in a way that could be discussed like that except people who binge things on Netflix.

Exactly. It took just a few episodes for me to go "ok, so the real point of this show is that in the event of the zombie apocalypse, surviving humans are the real monsters". I already knew that.

LOL, yeah. And that people still use budget screen writers.

2.) Shows we watch on FX, AMC, NBC etc (Walking Dead, The Voice, Modern Family, Mr Robot (theres at least 20)
I only have Netflix and Amazon and I have the Walking Dead, Modern Family, etc. Definitely not The Voice, thank goodness, no idea about Mr Robot. Network shows that are good enough for Netflix to want, they get. Just because it's also on a network doesn't mean you won't get it some other way.
Sure months later.
And? That was my point, who cares? There is no one to discuss it with, and once you don't start when it first releases the impact is literally zero. There is no real world negative here.
I think If I stopped watching TV according to a network schedule, I'd probably stop watching most TV in general. Not sure I am ready to go that route.
yeah it's a me thing. -

yeah it's a me thing.All bonus for me. That's how I know it is that bad, I wouldn't watch it if I had to select it.

Yeah I made the discussion argument in the past.. but with the advent of the DVR (because of simplicity compared to VHS) time shifting became the norm, so people watching at the same time became a thing of the past.

In retrospect, I'm kinda surprised that the DVR hasn't killed more TV. I guess the shows are strong enough draw without the added conversations about them afterwords.

yeah, well in that regards... I'd be happy to watch history channel, etc more than I do, but my wife hates those shows... and since I already mentioned that she wants to be in the same room as much as humanly possible.. we watch something that is tolerable by both of us.

And I think that with things like Netflix, the idea of people all watching just one or two shows is just gone. So many of the big shows aren't even available on normal cable or whatever. It's not like the 1980s where there were three networks so overlapping shows was easy. Now between there being 50 networks and time shifting on all of them and lots of things to do other than television (like movies, video games, etc.) it's just not that world.

I think because TV was already dead by the time that that came around. And time shifting was already the norm going back to around 1982 when the VCR went from "rare" to nearly "ubiquitous."

I knew very few people that recorded things on a VCR, they were a PITA to setup, limited to a single channel at a time, etc. Time shifting for reals didn't come in until the DVR day.

I'm just enough younger, I guess. It was super common when I was young. People recorded stuff all of the time. Being limited to a single channel wasn't a big deal, there were only three channels, there wasn't rarely two things worth watching on at once back then. They were not a PITA to set up, that's one of those myths. They were SO simple, only Curtis found them hard to program.

Well I didn't have an issue with it.. but my parents definitely did. But nothing like scrolling through a guide today and just clicking the record button to add it to the list to be recorded.
I think the kids in the house used the VCR all the time, for after school programs.. but it was rare for us to record a show at night - but not unheard of.

Man, I'm glad my gf knows to watch the shows I won't like when we're not together. We have lots of shows we both like, so plenty of stuff to watch together. She has kinda warped my Netflix cue though...

You just put in a start time and a length. I mean... it was SO simple.
I remember people claiming that they couldn't hook one up. It was like... one cable in, one cable out. WTF
