Is Watching Repeats Wasting Time?  

when theres nothing ese on, i guess, i wach friends online a lot, seen them all. i dont watch TV a lot and i have only lie 10 channels, but i think its fine, TV in general makes me sad, we could be doing better things, but whatever

Oh my dear wolfie, I have seen Titanic over 100 times I can say the lines word for word. lol And yet i never grow tired of watching it again. In fact i just got done watchig it a few minutes ago. I have it downloaded on my computer. it is my all time favorite movie and i love the ending. So no watching them again is not a waste of time if you enjoy them that much.

I don't think watching a repeats or movies over and over again is a waste of time specially if you enjoy it.

Yes I watch movies not only once but to a maximum of 3 times especially if the film appeals to my taste. I've watch The Italian Job 4 times I think because I really like the story. My husband does the same with his all time favorite Star Wars like you. I've watched Titanic twice, Transformers 3x and the other movies I like twice. For me it's not a waste of time if you watch movies over and over again because you are enjoying so why care? Besides enjoyment can't be measured by putting limitations to yourself, but by being free to do the things that will satisfy you. So happy watching over and over again!

If a movie or show is REALLY good then why shouldn't you watch it again? As long as you enjoy watching it and it doesn't bother you I think it wouldn't really matter. I barely watch repeats, has to be extremely good or I don't really see a reason to it.

I alway watch a tv program or film over and over again. It isn't a waste of time.Each time i watch that film or program, i can experience different feelings. I used to watch Titanic for about 6 times. And i cried each time. We watch a tv program or a film over and over again because we really love it. If we don't like it, even if it is the first time i watch it, I think it is a waste of time. Another reason that I watch repeats is that it is easily for me to forget things. So, I need repeats to remind me every detail of the films or tv programs.

yep i think so. because there is so much other things in world to watch rather than to watch repeats when you know the whole story.

Depends on how you define "waste of time" These days, most that is on TV is a waste of time to watch it in the first place!

I can watch reruns of I Love Lucy over and over - I can recite the dialog along with them, cause I have watched them so much - have the complete box set and watch whenever I want to ...why - comedy, hilarity and plain simply fun! THey don't make comedys like they used to . These days it is all about s*x and divorce and who's with who and doing what with who and then they try to make that funny. Might work the first time around, but once is usually enough. But I Love Lucy is not hte longest running show in TV history because it is not funny! IT is classic comedy and if you want to have fun, relax, enjoy time out - you need something funny.

Andy Griffith show is the same why - just plain funniness - nothing serious, no killings, murders, s*x, you don't have to "work" to keep up with it or remember what happened last time to make sense of this time...just enjoy a funny 20 minutes.

the movie Long Long Trailer - with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz - not only can all that happen for real (I have livedin a 35 ft travel trailer - yes it can happen!) but just the comedy is so amazing I watch it over and over. And when I am depressed, I turn this movie on and next thing I know I am laughing and calm from the depression and get up and go again. I don't call that a "waste of time".

I dont think it's waste of time at all. I watch repeats many times of serials and movie. A movie named 'Rehna hai tere dil mein (RHTDM)' i have watched more than 13 times but still like to watch it, and one of the favourite movie 'Sholay' i have watched more than 30 times. There same case with me when i like serial. I like to watch the repeats bcoz i enjoy them. I feel happy.
Many other shows and serials i have watched many times.

I think it's because of the way they make us feel....so it's not the show so much, as the feeling that we want to repeat Wolfie. Just my thought on it.
