do you ever watch it? How often?

I always watch it at least once a week to catch that weeks episode of "DALLAS" which I skip on wednesday nights to watch GREEN ACRES on ME TV.

Schmoopie · 07-21-2012, 04:39 AM

I watch it occasionally and about a couple of times a month I check to see if there are any good free movies on. Every once in a while I come across a good one. Sometimes I'll watch the TV episodes too but it's been a while since I've done that.

KurtfromPitts · 07-21-2012, 11:40 AM

I watch it on occasion myself.

Janice · 07-21-2012, 03:49 PM

My husband and I watch it every night when we go to bed. We love real mystery shows, like On the Case with Paula Zahn, Dead or Alive, Snapped, Final Witness, The First 48, Buried Secrets (Stolen Voices), etc, etc.

Then we have American Pickers, Pawn Stars, Dance Moms and many that I can't think of. I watch Hoarders, Bridezillas, Say Yes to The Dress, and a bunch of others. Also, we watch many of our shows OD just to avoid the commercials, but so many of them are catching on and won't allow use of the FF feature. Long short, I LOVE OD!

JamesG · 07-21-2012, 06:43 PM

I usually catch up with OD on the weekends.

Family Ties Forever! · 07-21-2012, 06:58 PM

Once in a blue moon. I like dvr better.

treky · 07-21-2012, 08:25 PM

I'll also watch a free movie every once in a while, I see that NATIONAL LAMPOONS ANIMAL HOUSE is playing on there for the next couple of months or so; I might watch that some night when there's nothing on-even though I've seen it maybe a hundred times (haven't seen it in a while though)

I don't like watching the half hour shows on it though. I watched TWO AND A HALF MEN on it once and without the commercials, it seemed so short!

Once in a while,not much though.Most of the stuff they show On Demand are the newer shows which I have little-zero interest in.And I would never watch anything that does not allow the fast forwarding of commercials.--On Demand could be so much better if they had a large selection of older,classic tv shows and more variety in general. Basically most of what they show is a limited amount of programs that you can just record from TV if you wanted to,and zap through their stupid advertisements a lot faster with a DVR or similiar.

Schmoopie · 07-22-2012, 01:34 PM

I went through the list of series earlier this morning and most of the series say that the eps are free with subscription. I don't even know what they want me to subscribe to! Anyone care to fill me in?

treky · 07-22-2012, 06:45 PM

yea, ours, says that too. I think that means you have to have a suscription to cable to see them.

But, if you don't have a cable subscription, you don't have ON DEMAND, so why do they say that????

It doesn't make sense.

They used to show some shows from the 60s and 70s (BEWITCHED, BARNEY MILLER, ONE DAY AT A TIME, DIFFERENT STROKES among others) in a section called "Tube Time".

If nothing is on, i'll usually watch something on demand as long as it is free.

AB · 07-23-2012, 03:29 PM

I watch the free stuff sometimes but there isn't that great of a selection.

icecream · 07-23-2012, 07:55 PM

I had never watched OnDemand much until yesterday. I'm definitely a fan now as I was able to see last week's White Collar, Covert Affairs, and Leverage that I had missed.
