Who prefers getting into shows once a season has ended, rather than have to wait a week to see the next episode?

(whether you get the shows from the internet or DVDs)

Not me. I like to be on top of things. Like, I won't watch "Lost", because I'm not caught up on what happened before. But if somebody asks me about Idol, I'll know what I'm talking about up to the minute.

gaaaaaaaay!

if it is one of the shows i have been following for years i have to watch it every week. if it is a new show that i don't have time to watch but know is good like madmen or dexter, i wait for the season dvds.

i do really like watching shows in succession as it ties things together for more complex shows like lost or it adds to the format like 24.

I bought the first four seasons of Lost, watched them over six days, and became a Lost junkie, now that I'm caught up with the series and have to wait a whole week for a new episode I might kill myself.

Depends on how into the show I am. With a show like Damages, waiting a week doesn't really bother me that much. Same with a show like Family Guy.

However, with a show like The Shield, yeah, if I had had enough self control to wait that long, I would have. But instead I still downloaded and watched every week. Same thing with this last bit of BSG.

Once BSG is over, I don't think there's any other shows going right now that I'm that engrossed in to the point where I would consider waiting until the season is over and then doing a mass download and spending an entire day watching. Dexter I guess.

When I first got to this base, I downloaded all of Deadwood, the first season of Damages, and all of The Wire (which at that time was seasons 1-4), all at the same time and I spent every free hour I had alternating between them. I would watch a couple of episodes of one show then I'd switch and watch a couple episodes of one of the others.

Well, I guess I'm gay. I get all wrapped up in Idol. I look forward to it. Weird thing is, I hate popular music. But I do like to hear people who can really sing. That's why I love that show.

Fag. Get an avvy, and you think you run this place.

Depends on the show.
I believed Lost is one of those shows that is better when u watch the whole season at home in a couple of days... waiting a week drives me crazy... and then when they make u wait 2-3 wks for new ep in the season FUCK!!

:
and for shows like house, bones.. i'm ok waiting a week or two
