Title: Planning around television shows?
Post by: o2bnocn on April 06, 2016, 08:17:35 am

Have you ever planned something around a television show if you can? If it's not on demand, or you don't have on demand?

Friday I don't have work so I'm planning on having a relaxing television day of tv show marathons.

I try to but sometime it doesn't work out like I want it to. I'm glad I have on-demand and Hulu that's how I see my shows when i can't see them on live TV.

My husband and I try to plan around on Sunday night because it's just a busy night for shows. TWD runs the exact same time as Shameless. And then it runs the same time as Ray Donovan. We usually tag team to get the girls bathed and in bed, the kitchen and dishes cleaned and the dinner table all before the show starts so we can relax and just watch al lthe shows back to back.

I have my favorite shows but if I miss them no problem. We can either watch by on demand or tape it on TiVo.

I don't DVR shows b/c I want to live my life and not have to worry about TV.
The only thing I really LOVE to watch is sports....

I do have On Demand, no DVR, but I still enjoy watching my shows live.    Most of the shows I "have" to see are on at night so my have to do's are done and I can sit and relax.

Sometimes, it's so nice to have DVR/Netflix/Etc. where you may watch shows at your leisure but every Sunday night my husband and I would stop and watch the Walking Dead together live.

Only if it is a live sports event I want to watch on TV. Everything else can be DVR'd.

I have my favorite show that I like to watch and try to plan my time around them.  Sometimes it doesn't always work out, so I record them on my DVR.

Not really...only shows I regularly watch are sports, news, and occasionally Impractical Jokers...I don't waste my time revolving my life around tv, even if I don't have on-demand...if I was desperate, I could rewatch online or something....my schedule is just too unpredictable...

I rarely get to watch shows on the night when they air .. I love On Demand so I can binge watch when I have time.

I used to plan activities around a certain tv schedule; but, that was before Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime/ Amazon Firestick!  Now I pretty much watch what I want, when I want.

There was a time when I would plan around a few favorite shows. I dont have a DVR so I had to watch them when they aired basically. Now i dont have time to watch TV anyway. I have missed good shows, but what can you do.

Most of the time we DVR our favorite shows. Occasionally though since my husband and I are both off on Sundays we will eat dinner and watch our Sunday shows, Shameless and The Walking Dead together. Gives us something to do together.
