How much of what you watch on TV is something you already seen before? It seems like an aweful lot of TV is simply reruns Last Night I watch new episodes of Sleepy Hollow and Blacklist but during the day and before 7 . . reruns reruns reruns Beyond the news . . . seems like most channels are populated with either ReRun TV shows or ReRun Movies. Rocket River have to do better time management
50/50 I guess. I don't watch much TV outside of sports. Now that Breaking Bad is over, the only new show I'm really watching is Korra. I DVR shows like Restaurant: Impossible and Bar Rescue, but only watch them when I just need something on in the background. I watch quite a bit of Seinfeld reruns - episodes I've seen 10+ times. Dat Julia Louis-Dreyfus...
If you're talking about actual programming on television, probably 30%. If we're including Netflix (and similar services), over 80%. I don't know if I'll ever get tired of watching King of the Hill, Futurama, and 30 Rock. Too bad that King of the Hill is no longer on any streaming service.
I draw the line at matlock reruns. I like watching a series that i've already watched, just not on a tv station. there is something nostalgic about it.
exactly 50/50 here also. only two current series i watch are the walking dead and shield. only two reruns i watch are golden girls (go figure) and the fresh prince.
I've been watching the reruns of Community since I haven't seen them since they first aired. And I'm down to watch any Futurama. But that's about it.
If the rerun is old enough I may have forgotten enough of the details to be worth watching again. If it's one I haven't seen it's really not a rerun for me. But if it's one I remember well I am much more likely to find something else to do.
I consistently watch reruns. Castle, 30 Rock, Futurama, M*A*S*H, Law & Order. When I'm working from home, it's pretty much all that's on during the day. I can watch only so many hours of SportsCenter.
Yeah, but I like watching them in sequential order. Also, 2 episodes a night doesn't feel like enough. I have an unhealthy obsession with that show.
I watch a lot of Seinfeld reruns, and sometimes I watch bits of movies that I have already seen, so I would 50/50, since I watch a lot of sports.
South park, Seinfeld, king of the hill, Simpsons.... Those are the only shows I can watch again and again..
If I've seen it I rarely watch it again. The only things that I have caught myself watching that Ive seen already are Family Matters, Fresh Prince, Seinfeld, Ol School Power Rangers, Anything 90s Nick. Anything else I may stop, watch a little, then move along. Now, reruns of shows I haven't seen, I watch. I'm watching Farscape right now. I watched all manner of Rerun when I was younger. Hasn't Netflix made it's business model on reruns? very lucrative.
Essentially all re-runs. I ditched cable once Itunes, Amazon Instant and Netflix streaming all took hold. I'll never watch reality TV, but the superior ratings mean scripted programming has a far narrower margin of error and will get canceled that much more quickly. A procedural cop show with name actors like Chicago Code or Prime Suspect (U.S.) would have gotten two or three seasons fifteen years ago (remember how long NY Undercover ran?); but nowadays you can check Futon Critic or Deadline to see overnights and tell a show's going to be cancelled by November. No need to invest in that when you can watch every season of Dexter on a constant loop.
