Unpopular opinion: a broken TV at a Super Bowl party in Denver got me off week-by-week watching for good
Two years ago I was at a friend's place in Denver for the game and his 8 year old TV died right as the second half started, so we all just sat there in silence. I went home annoyed and started a show just to kill the night, and when the next episode played automatically I did not get up for 3 hours. That one lazy night turned into a whole habit. Now I refuse to start anything that only drops one episode a week, since waiting around is what made TV feel like homework to me. Last month I watched a full 8 episode season on a Tuesday and felt fine about it. Am I the only one who plans whole weekends around finishing a season, or do some of you still like the slow weekly drip?

My buddy in Cheyenne did the same thing after his cable box fried during a Broncos game back in 2021. He has not watched live TV since, just waits for a full season to stack up and then goes through it in two sittings. It works for him, but the water cooler talk gets weird when everyone else is on season 3 and he is still on season 1.
