How do you prefer to watch TV??

(and Solomon, if you think Im posting this out of boredom -- dont answer!!)

PZelda · 04-24-2004, 06:15 PM

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

Brent88 · 04-24-2004, 06:19 PM

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.

Mrs. Ducky · 04-24-2004, 06:56 PM

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.

alone so I can yell or talk to the tv if I don't like what happens

FamilyTiesGOP · 04-24-2004, 10:22 PM

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.

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.

barwars · 04-25-2004, 07:23 AM

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!

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

ClassicComedyFan2 · 04-25-2004, 09:38 PM

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.

vashti1999 · 04-25-2004, 11:11 PM

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.

Ant-Lox · 04-26-2004, 09:07 AM

I like wathing TV alone.

Chocoholic · 04-26-2004, 10:41 AM

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

Teddy02 · 04-26-2004, 03:29 PM

depends on what show i'm watching. cheers i watch alone and the same with frasier or any show i like. i don't like conversation during my favorite shows so i watch them alone. i watch friends, will and grace and reality shows with my family though.
