Learning How To Pace Yourself Watching Television Programs Online

You are sitting in front of your television set.  The show you are watching ends with a cliff hanger.  You don’t know what happens next.  And you either have to wait until next week or next season.   Now that’s kind of a bummer.

It is like being hungry, getting your food, and it falling on the floor.

When you watch television serials on line you can avoid this ‘having to wait until next week/season’ to see what happens, IF you pace yourself.

If you don’t, you are in the same position you would be watching the show on television.  You have to wait.

When a show ran five seasons and ended, fine, you can sit in front of your computer and watch marathons.  For when you hit the last episode, it IS the last episode.   But when you are watching  a show which is still producing new episodes you must stay two seasons behind so as to avoid that ‘cliff hanger’ and that waiting.

For example, I began to watch Blue Bloods less than a year ago.  There are Seven seasons and twenty two episodes in each.   That is one hundred and fifty four episodes.

If one is foolish, as I was, one will do a marathon. Even watching only one episode a day, in six months I’ve finished the series, and am waiting for the next episode.  Just like everyone else.

Had I been wiser, I would have watched an episode every few days so would still be in season six, and when seven turns into eight, would just be completing six and starting seven when the show was three quarters through eight, so that I would not have to wait until next week to see what happens.

When a series is new, and there are only two seasons (so far) one should be careful not to complete them too quickly.  Or else they join the cadre of shows one has to wait for.
