Am I the only one who binge watches! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ryan Chamberlain · 06-11-2014, 08:34 PM

I've been taping every episode of Night Court off of Encore and then watching at least 10 episodes every Saturday when there's nothing else on. LOL. I think I'm insane. Am I the only one who does the whole binge watching thing?

I don't really binge watch NC but I have done it with several other shows.

I like to binge watch whenever I get the chance, usually on a weekend... though I don't think I end up getting to watch at least 10 episodes at a time, more like 7 or 8. I need to start watching earlier in the evening lol (I have two dogs that get me up really early in the morning, so I end up dozing off earlier than I want to).

Me too- it is a lot of fun. Also watching my favorites at different times of the day and even playing rain sounds on my sound machine... now that might be crazy LOL.

^ Aww I don't think that's crazy at all, I think it's awesome LOL

Lately I've been watching the seasons in order but mostly skipping around to the ones I like the most.

I've definitely binge watched the show... MANY times.

I got all 9 seasons on dvd it is also on demand on Comcast all 9 seasons I try catch it every nite

jessm78 · 07-08-2014, 06:07 PM

Awesome, MikeL. I don't get it on demand (stupid cable company) but I have all the shows on DVD so I watch them as much as possible. I also have that TV Tales special about Night Court that aired on E! some years ago so I like to watch that too.

I like to binge-watch stuff too, and just watched Night Court Seasons 3-6. I bought Seasons 3-5 on Amazon and had S6 on an old VHS (yes I still use a VCR once in a blue moon!).

I think the funniest point was Seasons 3-5 so I'm stopping; don't really want to buy earlier/later seasons. Like many people I wasn't a fan of some later changes (Lizette or the change in Dan, along with some other stuff) but I thought the show was at its best with Mac, Bull, Roz, Christine and Dan--along with the hilarious guests.

I liked Buddy OK, though I thought his 'feeling much better now' line was overdone and stopped being funny after a while. I suppose that is tempting for a show--when they find something that works, they want to keep using it!

I did think Harry's character got way too weenie-fied for a while there, but he was a good choice for Judge Harry Stone--I have a hard time imagining anyone else playing that part.

Sure is good to see this again--I love revisiting old favorites and usually binge-watch them when I do.

That's what I always do. Watch the eps I like the most.

But, here lately. I've slowed down on the NC binging and starting binging on The Simpsons and Perfect Strangers again. I am watching NC right now though. The bomb ep from the first season. Death Threat. Haven't seen it in a while.

When Bull slammed the door and everyone including Harry ducked was such an early hilarious moment in the show.

jessm78 · 12-26-2014, 05:18 PM

I know what you mean. I've started doing that too and binging on some of my other shows. Sometimes around the holidays, I'll like to break out the NC DVDs again, like on Halloween I'll watch those theme episodes, or Christmastime I'll watch the Christmas eps and it'll sometimes get me into watching a marathon.

LOL, I loved that moment!!
