I've gone from bingeing TV shows to rationing them.

[Aristus]

It's not like I'm ever going to burn through all the content in the streaming universe. So I'm not going to run out of shows to watch.

Mrs. Aristus and I are just enjoying watching a show one episode a day. We're watching the new 'War Of The Worlds' right now, and as good as it is, and intense as each episode ending is, we're resisting hopping right to the next one.

Anyone else doing this?

1. I am enjoying Nurse Jackie. Had no desire to see a druggy nurse but it really is a very good show.

5. It is so good!

Wait till you get to the very last episode. Not saying a word. The entire show was a wonderful ride. Enjoy!

[LizBeth]

7. Oh yea... Thanks. I am one that reads the first chapter, then the end of book,

then proceed the rest of the story. I do not care about spoilers. But thanks. I am enjoying and I kept passing it up over and over and over. 7 seasons to binge, lol.

2. I have no self-restraint

I binge-watched Ozark, and then decided that I wasn't going to start any more series. Once I start, I just keep going. I'm ridiculous.

3. Yes, though sometimes if there is a cliff hanger I will go on to the next episode

That's only happened a couple of times.

I had a problem this past weekend - several of the series I've been watching ran out of episodes! I've had to hunt for other series to watch. Since the on screen menu sucks for that, I went to the websites for the streaming services and picked out a batch of shows for my new "season."

A caution with stringing them out - sometimes the streaming services drop series with no warning. I was watching "The Closer" on Prime when suddenly it went from free to $2.99 an episode. Since I had about three seasons left, that would get expensive. Rather than do that, I bought the entire series and that of Major Crimes on DVD. Unfortunately I did binge both series and finished them quickly - but I can watch them again any time I like.

4. Most of the time my personal definition of binge watching

is to watch one episode per day to the end of the series.

6. I have so much stuff recorded on my DVR,

If I could watch TV 16 hours a day, it would still take me a few weeks to get through it. I seem to have developed the attention span of a gnat. It's taking me forever to watch anything. Mostly, I'm being distracted by my phone, and a certain website.

8. I'd be watching The West Wing every night (until falling asleep,)

if I could, but don't have Netflix @ my house, so 'just' watching news and whatever's on HBO; West Side Story a while ago.

I don't watch TV at all until after PBSNewsHour; before that, I watch the river running past my house, and ospreys making this year's family.

[Aristus]

9. My wife hasn't been able to watch The West Wing since 2016.

It hurts too much for her to watch it, with all that's going on right now.

I told her The West Wing got me through the GWB administration. Yeah, it kind of hurts, seeing all that we aspired to and have lost.

But I hope we'll get it back again...

10. I'd watch if I were @ my friend's house, with netflix,

but rarely travel there now, even tho only 70 miles away.

They'll move it to HBO-Something, I understand, so may watch it then.

Doesn't hurt or pain me to watch, it's great entertainment. Sure helped me through bushies, and lived and worked IN DC at the time, so was VERY close.

[Aristus]

11. For me, too.

I never get tired of it.

One of the greatest joys in my life is getting to use West Wing quotes in my daily life.

One of my assistants will say something like: "We're having a great day! Not too busy!"

I respond like Toby: "Do you want to risk the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing???"

[elleng]

12. 'What's next?!'

[Aristus]

13. "MRS. LANDINGHAM!" - "MARGARET!" - "DONNA!" - "GINGER!" - "BONNIE!"

Those ladies sure took a lot of guff from the staff...

14. We ration the things we love and enjoy. Well... the NEW stuff, we ration. The old stuff...

We ration the things we love and enjoy. Well... the NEW stuff, we ration. The old stuff like MASH on Hulu and "Keeping up Appearances" on BritBox, I'll binge watch (just because there are so many of them).

15. My wife and I watch 1 or 2 episodes each night and have been doing that for awhile.

We are watching Luther right now.
