    1. previews mean a lot less
    2. opening credits become irritating
    3. it's SO much nicer to watch good shows this way.

    agreed.
    Especially cliffhangery shows.
    Like freaking true blood. I watched the whole 1st season at once- and it was good, I am hating it now that I have to wait a week for the next episode.

    The only real way to watch shows is on DVD.

    I'm trying to watch The Tudors this way, but I have a download cap. :mad:
    Someday... when I'm paying the bills... I will pirate shows that I can't afford to watch on premium channels as much as I want! :cool:

    I think so. We had Showtime for a while and I got hooked on it. Now we have HBO and it just hit me a few weeks back how much I missed it.
    It's the costumes I like mostly. Historical accuracy is really iffy, but fascinating anyway.
    They still aren't making me like Henry VIII, though, so if that was their intention, then epic fail. :toetap05:

    Yes it does and so do I. I get so aggravated when I watch movies with people who demand that I fast forward through them. Dammit, I want to see what's coming!!

    I laughed my ass off when the producer said they were going to try and paint him as a sympathetic character. Just ain't gonna fly... :rolleyes:

    i'm too poor for DVDs or even netflix right now, and i'm currently avoiding downloading anything. so i've been watching shows on youtube lately (i know there are better sites for this; suggestions are welcome). opening credits are still welcome in this case, because it gives me time to read the comments.

    Hulu doesn't work on my computer for some reason, and they don't seem to have a help page, so yeah. I'll try Surfthechannel, though I don't have much hope for it... My comp is weird.

    I'm with you brotha! I never watch tv but rent the series from Netflix. That's how I watched Six Feet Under, Carnivale, The Tudors, Rome, House MD.....looking for new ones to get into.

    I've tried getting into it... but it seems like it could've been much better if they did it right....

    My advice is wait for the next attempt at this topic honestly... But I've only seen maybe 4 episodes... 3 from the first season and one from the second or third...
