Netflix offers help in battle against the binge with optional auto-play

I binge, therefore I am. If it's keeping my interest I'm gonna blast though it; there's so many good TV shows out there right now, and more on the way.

I'm subbed up with Netflix and Lovefilm, but do you let shows build up on your DVR and then watch them back to back? I personally hate having to wait for the next episode!

You can change your vote if need be.

Definitely binge. I watched all of spaced in one go and most of House MD in a month :D

I can't see the option to vote on Tapatalk but I binge. Watched the whole first series of Life on Mars in one sitting and the whole first series of how I met your mother in a couple of days.

Binge.

I can't commit to a weekly TV schedule. VoD services have been a godsend - before that I was buying boxsets.

Neither - I just watch the least crap thing that's on right now

Binge, I've not even started Breaking Bad, stupidly behind (5 seasons I think) on Dexter and the gf says I need to watch Walking Dead

Can rattle out a short season over a weekend easily, matter is just finding the time!

Same here. I haven't recorded a show since about 1994.

When 24 came out on DVD, I watched it in real-time, well almost, it only ran for 18 hours or so, to make room for the ads and credits for each episode.

But I haven't seen a show in the last 10 years that I "must see".

If binging is an option, then binge.
House, Arrested Development, Mrs Brown..... My wife and I can binge on the DVD's.

If somethings on TV and I want to watch it I'll watch it as it's broadcast.
However, if I decide I liked the series then I might buy it on DVD/BR and then it's binge o'clock.

The Walking Dead's great, I didn't catch up with it until much later. I found Breaking Bad good, but it just didn't move quickly enough for me. Dexter I've only seen snippets of.

I've got episodes of Mob City and Intelligence to start...

I tend to binge. I didn't get much sleep when I first got into Battlestar Galactica.

The two options are not mutually exclusive ;)

So both. :D

I usually watch TV shows as they come out. Though with old shows that I have on DVD I will binge.

speaking of binging, the four episodes of Bitchin Kitchen on food network on Saturday nights are great. There goes my social life!
