Do you prefer watching movies or watching tv programs? I watch more tv shows than I do movies. I'll watch movies once in a while with my boyfriend but I'm more into tv shows, there are just too many out there that are just so good LOL What about you?

i equally prefer both. but since the movies are of a longer time, it is hard to free spare time to watch any movie. some movies are made on a similar tv program - that ofcourse i like a lot . For example Mr Bean - The movie and Mr Bean tv programs

Hi cndn, I like watching tv and I would like to spend some of my leisure time to watch tv programs daily. If I don’t have any other important things to do, like going out with my hubby or my younger sister after dinner I usually would like to spend two hours or so to watch my favorite tv series. I rarely watch movies as I don’t want to take the trouble to spend more than two hours just to watch a single movie. Anyway it's fun as well to watch movie once in a while. I enjoy sitting comfortably and relaxingly in front of the tv and to watch whatever tv series I wish. And I could have a pause at any time if I feel bored to continue watching the tv programs any more. I like watching tv program and do mylot posting at the same time. Happy posting and have a nice day.

Yeah cndn, it’s quite troublesome to use old device watching movie for we have to play forward or backward and let it back again to the scene we have paused earlier. Nowadays it’s really convenient easy to watch movies using a DVR with memory mode, so that we could enjoy watching our favorite story on and off according to our wish by just having a single button press only. Take care and happy posting.

I love going to the movies. You can't beat seeing a good movie on the big screen. Unfortunately it now costs so much to go I very rarely bother! As far as Tv goes... I think I watch an even mix of films and programmes.

its gotten really expensive to go see a movie...although its pretty much the food that takes the majority of the expensive-ness (LOL if that's even a word) its like $15 just for a drink and a popcorn....its ridiculous!

Oh,I think that I prefer watching movies!I love movies.They give us different stories ,all kinds of shows,you can enjoy different kinds of life in one movie,and the most important things is that,it won't take long time,maybe some 2 or 3 hours is enough.That is why I choose movies not TV!TV are also good story teller,but I just don't have that much time.As we are more and more busy these days,I think movies are a better choice!

We prefer watching movies at the comfort of our home. We do not have a cable installed here in our flat yet but watching television is not our cup of tea. Maybe to most MyLot users, they prefer watching tv because they are watching a prime or soap opera everyday that they are tuned in. But for hubby and me, we prefer to download movies and watch it together. I don't take much time watching too. Two hours is enough for us to watch since our schedule sleeping is different from the rest since hubby goes to work in a call center so most of our time sleeping is done in the day time. We select movies to watch. Mostly we watch documentary and christian movies.

LOL i also like watching documentaries i find them really interesting. even though you're sleeping schedules are off at least you have that couple of hours to watch with your husband

Yeah, I would say TV shows. They are usually shorter than movies, well most are unless one is watching several episodes of the show in a row. Last night I watched 3 straight episodes of Supernatural that I had rented through Netflix. I think I enjoy TV shows more, but the good ones are getting harder to find.

I'll do a little from Column A and Column B. I watch my tv, plus I watch my movies. There are times when you have everything to watch, but sometimes there's just nothing on. I guess it just depends on what I'm in the mood for. It's a toss up.

About a year ago my husband and I decided to forgo television and hang onto that $54.00 per month. at first I really missed television then we started watching movies and really enjoyed them for awhile but that to we have gone away from and have saved so much money. But when we did watch I would have to say i liked shows better like on hgtv and lifetime watch on

I prefer to watch tv programs. I love programs like American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, Jon and Kate Plus 8, Reba, and Everybody Loves Raymond. I don't usually watch movies on tv as I tend to fall asleep part way through them. I don't think I've ever seen an entire movie from start to finish. lol ~proudnana~

tv shows and movies on HBO are really good, it's one of my favorite channels. thanks for the link, i have a DVR so i usually record all my tv shows cause im usually at work when they are on so i can fast forward through all the commercials

I prefer watching films (movies). Getting the whole story in a fairly short slot and moving on to something else. I tend to record things and skip over any adverts or pause a film if I need to. I don't go to the cinema much to watch them in a crowd of people. I have watched lots of different tv series but prefer films now if I am with a TV and not on my computer.
