I watch episodes of The Game on the computer since I don't have cable and can't watch it on BET.

I just gotta be a purist here.I've seen many a video clip here on the internet and it just plain isn't the same for me as it is on the standard TV screen.It always feels more like I'm doing some sort of research instead of just relaxing with the boob tube.

I rarely if ever watch on my computer, the closest thing I get to watching on my computer is by connecting my comnputer to my T.V. to watch shows on Hulu or Netflix.

Same here- prefer TV
Computer- maybe a fast video or a movie trailer but that's it

Add me to the list of those who far prefer standard TV viewing too... If I'm watching on computer, sometimes it's just to try to catch a guest appearance of one of my favorite actors.

I dont like watching tv shows on the computer but I can watch videos on youtubie for 2 hours

TV, Laptop, PC, PSP, If the show is good, it will translate into all media devices.

I can watch a full movie on my PSP with no problem. It actually made me enjoy watching films on TV with headphones, you can escape into it even more.

And now all my screens are LCD, so it's just a matter of screen size.

I own at least 25+ UMD movies for my PSP. I downloaded a few too, but I thought the novelty of the UMD was cool so I bought a bunch cheap. I have the PSP 2000.

I have the PSP 3000 and I only have a handful of UMD's, now I just convert DVD's to video files.

If I can't watch a show on TV for whatever reason I will watch it on the coumpter. It's better then not at all.
