Alone. Everybody in my family likes different things, so what I like, the rest of my family wouldn't like watching.

Most of the time alone. If we watch something as a family usually my sister will start talking about junk not related to the movie. :rolleyes:

Alone. If I watch it with my friends then they are always asking me what's going on and I miss the show. If I watch it with family thay end up switching the channel.

I like to watch most of my favorite shows ALONE. Most of my family doesn't care about the sitcoms I watch as obsessively as I do. However, I do like watching some shows with family if they are as interested in the show as I am. Because if they aren't interested, it gets annoying.

I only yell at the TV during a political speech or hearing etc. or if it's a game show and I know the answer and the contestant doesn't. ;)

:lol: I yell at game shows all the time.

But I watch alone. My dad talks too much during the show, and most of what other people watch I don't like.

I yell at game shows and reality shows.
And of course -- die laughing with some sitcoms.

Thats why I dont like many dramas -- they're so, uninteractive!

I Love Carol Burnett!

Alone. I only watch basically Carol stuff and my family/friends hate Carol :(

With family! My mom will sometimes watch stuff she doesn't really enjoy just to spend time with me, and its the same with my dad. In some cases, I've even gotten my parents to become fans of shows that I like (Futurama, Simpsons) and vice-versa (Frasier). It's really cool when you laugh at the same thing that your friend/family member laughs at or you exchange a knowing glance at a line of dialgoue you both can relate too.

I picked alone. It's the same with movies as with tv, I don't like conversation when I'm watching something. People know that about me, I won't engage in talking and it gets awkward if I and a friend or family member are just sitting there completely quiet watching tv.

Depends on what mood I'm in or what the show is.

I watch my favorite tv sitcoms alone. Most of my family aren't interested in the sitcoms I watch. I have always hated that.
I wish someday I meet a person that likes the same shows as me so that I'll have company while watching a favorite show. At times, it can get boring watching television alone for so MANY years.

Usually alone, but sometimes its fun to watch TV with my mom and dad since they remember a lot of stuff from when they first saw it (if it's a rerun). It's also fun to see what their opinion is on it.

Now, if it were my siblings...no. Just no.

Yep. Dramas are just boring to me.

It really depends on what I am watching. I like to watch some things with people and by myself. I laugh a lot harder when I am with other people, and I love to laugh.

i like both, but sometimes it is nice to be able to flip through the channels without someone telling you to stop every second!

I changed my mind, I'd rather watch TV with other people than alone. I guess it's because as I've gotten older I've become more social and everything is funnier when someone else is there laughing with you.

HA! I would LOVE to have 'Friends' or 'Family' that actually shared my taste in TV or movies. There's only ONE show I can share with my mom. And when there IS a show I think they'd like, nobody ever listens to me.

So sadly.......alone.:mad:

It depends if it's one of those shows that you wanna see with other people (e.g. gameshows, etc.). OR if it's one of those things that are better to watch alone (e.g. when you wanna cry your eyes out. haha), no?

something i would watch with friends would be the 2006 TVLand awards!!!

Nip it in the bud.
