As someone who struggles for normal television to even qualify as interesting, binging is one of the few mechanisms that I have to make it worth sitting down for.
I think its a boxed wine vs bottled wine thing. Or Bourbon vs Scotch maybe?
Wait, maybe Seagrams vs a 7 & 7 is the best comparison?
Boxed wine is better if you want the wine to be properly maintained. Bottled it to make people feel better about it. One is about the quality, one is about the emotional response.
Just like an aluminum can is a far better storage and transportation vessel for beer than a glass bottle. Glad they started putting good beer into cans, removes some of the stigma.
Exactly. Seals better, keeps more light out.
And you can take it to the pool, the beach, or anywhere else glass bottles are a no-no.
Also a good point. Same with boxes of wine
Up your box wine game by removing the box and carrying the bag around. Bag wine is where it's at.
Too bad its already after Halloween. There is some scary stuff that one could probably do with red wine in a bag.
Like... not drink it.

Up that game by replacing the wine with bourbon. bagged bourbon is the real game in town.
No doubt.. I need to ask Monkey Shoulder to make a bagged whiskey.

LOL I still have half a bottle of this. You tried Lagavulin 16? I ehter drink a bourban called 1792 that is equivelant price to Monkey Shoulder or a my premium drink, Lagavulin.
I dont know if the Monkey Shoulder made me sick or if I just was getting sick anyway. I thought it was good for the few drams I had, but its in my head now that it made me sick and I cant finish the bottle.

Lagavulin 16 is a very strong Scotch. Sorta like a melted down tree trunk. My wife protests when I open the bottle when she is home at all.
Also a Ron Swanson favorite, which is where I first heard of it...

This was a very interesting read. It seems like the OP @bigbear is a TV enthusiast and enjoys the structure of traditional tv. TV is a major portion of his life and he likes to discuss TV shows with friends as they are released.
That type of structure goes away with the On-Demand style, which I think is why a good portion of people are still resisting on demand tv. After cutting the cord many years ago, and being one of the first on the Netflix and Hulu bandwagons, I could never go back to live TV. I agree @scottalanmiller when he said that he hates even experiencing cable tv when visiting someone.

Yes, we definitely have totally different television experiences. What I'm surprised by is that even if I enjoyed the traditional "what it when we release it" style of the past, I've never had the option of the discussion bits. I understand the desire for this and could see it being influential. But it is the total lack of anyone to do this with in real life that makes me surprised that he has a circle of friends that all stay back on legacy television, all watch the same shows, all resist time shifting, and all then discuss them. In the Venn Diagram of television watching, it's a very unique niche.

The amount of entertainment value @bigbear gets seems to be well worth the price, though. For me, I couldn't spend $35 a month when I have all the on demand choices. I will go out and buy other things that costs much more than $35 to do what I like to do for entertainment. So i believe his argument makes sense for him.

Minor time shifting, watching within the same week, still allows most social groups to have a close enough followup conversation.

Still doesn't address my surprise. There is no question that I personally don't find television interesting like this. My point is that I couldn't find others that would in order to enable this activity.
I've got lots of hobbies shared by no one. That's easy and normal. It's finding local friends who share those unusual hobbies that is unlikely.

If my wife and I really cut the cord, I think we'd pretty much never watch TV together again. There are several shows that we both like, but we watch TV when the other is not around, and forcing ourselves to not watch a show on our own schedule, waiting for the other person would quickly become frustrating for both of us.
This issue becomes even worse when you're talking about binge watching something. Let's assume we stopped watching NCIS on a weekly basis, and waited for it to be released on Netflix. Now once it's out, we're going to binge watch it.. the scheduling issues would be frustrating.
This leads right back to my early conversation (different thread) about how she wants to at least see me 95% of the time while we are both home.. which means one or both of us have to use headphones to watch, likely on a small screen, a show.

But the scheduling isn't frustrating now? How does "making it easier" lead to it being harder? Something doesn't add up here. It's being able to watch on demand that makes scheduling easier - in every possible way. You always have the choice of a forced watch time the same as before. So your point can't be true as it only adds options, takes none away.
