We didn't have tv until I was...about sixteen, maybe? And I've never really gotten used to it. I have a tendency of watching a show and then suddenly deciding I'm finished here (eg. s1 Heroes). I like TV better than movies in a lot of ways, especially for the reasons you've mentioned, but I'm not always good with watching it as it's on. I'm good with DVD sets; we're good old pals, me and The Entire Collection! DVD's. Also, all my shows end up getting cancelled, so. It can really suck knowing everything that's going on behind the scenes of a show, especially re: cancellation/ratings :(
