Would you pay to see a TV show in theaters? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

People pay to watch shows on demand, to watch them on DVD.... but would you pay to see your favorite shows in theaters??

No. I'm not a fan of theater-going to begin with. Too many rude people. The seats are not particularly comfy, either. Plus, the toilet is not conveniently located. Nor is the food just in the other room, waiting for me to grab during a commercial, or while the show is on pause.

Movie theaters are not conducive to comfort. I'll watch my TV shows at home, thank you very much.

No. I don't like watching TV with a crowd of people.

Brent88 · 11-11-2005, 03:04 AM

No. I don't like the theater atmosphere to begin with and all the people. I like watching movies at home, can take breaks when you want to and not miss anything, and you don't have to crawl over people to go somewhere.

No. I would however go to the theatres to watch musical artists, and bands in concert. I think that would be the next best thing to actually being at the concert live.

Probably not. I need the closed captioning.

No, I don't even like watching movies in the theaters. It never fails, whenever I go to a movie theater, I always manage to sit near some crying child or obnoxious person who can't stop talking to their companion or on their cellphone. And Heaven forbid you should go say something to that person. They look at you like YOU'RE the one who is rude!

no way

No way. It takes an act of God to get me to the theater to see a really great movie.
