I don't understand how people don't watch a television show. At least one. How can you not keep up with a series? I think most of us are watching several different series at the moment. There are some people out there who just casually watch tv and if a show is on, they watch it but there's no effort made to keep up with the show. Mostly, I'm thinking of my aunt's husband at the moment but I'm sure there are others out there.

and also.

People who say, "I don't watch tv" when they watch a show or several shows on their fucking computer? Need to shut up. Just because you ain't watching Game of Thrones or whatever on an actual television set, doesn't mean you do not watch television.

LOL! TRUTH!

Seriously people who say they don't watch tv and yet they talk all about watching it through streaming on Netflix on their computer... SAME DIFFERENCE. :)

I agree on both accounts SO MUCH!

I can't watch TV as it's airing anymore. I just can't do it, I don't know why. I'm lazy and I forget about it, I guess. I do watch TV shows, but only after entire seasons are completed so I can marathon them all in one go. I'll spend like, a week or two just watching 1 show. And then I move on to the next one. I don't get how people can keep up with multiple shows all at once.

I also don't like people who say "I don't watch TV" like if you watch HBO Go or Netflix or whatever, you're watching TV. I don't have cable TV. But I still watch TV shows.

I can understand that method of watching a tv series. Keeping up with several shows can be some what difficult, but I don't get too invested in a handful of them. Or, I try not too.

agree with your points of confusion and irritation. just because you're not watching something on an actual television, doesn't mean it isn't tv. a movie on dvd is still a movie.

i also don't understand casual watchers of tv shows - how are you not horribly confused by the plot if you haven't watched in ages?

Excellent point about the dvd.

I don't know? Maybe they don't care?
