do you prefer TV shows or movies?

I guess nowadays, I prefer movies. Back then I used to prefer TV, but now the variety of shows on now don't seem to appeal to me like they used to. either they've ended or went on for too long that they lose their charm.

My first instinct was to say movies, but the number of really great movies to come out in the last 10 years really pales in comparison to the number of fantastic TV shows.

TV, easily. Movies just don't have the length needed to flesh out characters enough for me to give a fuck most of the time.

This seems like a bit of an apples and oranges thing to me. I guess if you put a gun to my head right now I'd say TV, but they're really two different mediums with different pros and cons.

I used to be way into movies, but I think the last ~10 years have been much stronger for TV than for film.

I'm not big on either, but I've found a few TV shows that I think are really great and get invested in, whereas it's quite rare that I see a movie I really enjoy

Damn, this is a hard one. I enjoy both a lot.

It's a pretty easy pick... TV has gone uphill since the 2000's (due to HBO, FX, AMC, Showtime, etc) while movies have at worst gone downhill and at best stagnated for the last few years. There might be 2 to 3 movies a year I like a lot (less that 6 hours), while there are over 8 shows a year I love.

Great Tv shows can't be beaten .

TV. It's basically like comfort food to me.

You can watch it piece meal and just escape for an hour into a world of characters you love. Once a movie is over, it's over.

I don't know how to answer this question. It seems impossible. I watch a lot of both. Certain movies would work only as movies, and ditto for the TV shows. 95% of TV is fucking horrible. A similar percentage of movies are too (though the bad ones tend to stay relatively hidden in comparison to their TV show counterparts).

It all depends on the day, the time and my mood.

Either way, the Netflix deal with Breaking Bad in the UK is fucking awesome!

Movies, no contest. I like a story that I can sit down and see from beginning to end. TV shows are too frequently made upon guesswork about the show getting picked up for a new season or not, and I find that really hurts the storytelling.

To me it's like asking if I prefer cake or pizza. The answer is I like them both pretty equally, there is just a different time and place for both. Also...now I want pizza >_>

Movies, definitely. I love both mediums, though.

Watching people play Magic the Gathering online trumps both, but TV.

Good movies and good television shows. I don't prefer one over the other.

I think most movie franchises exceeding three films (with exceptions, stuff like Harry Potter) should continue as TV series or comic books instead of making more movies.

Sadly I get so many movies but rarely watch any, even new ones. Whereas I'm always eating up a new TV show that will help make me fatter and more antisocial.

Fuck TV shows, they're a destructive drug. I wish I could watch a movie instead and enjoy it :(

TV rots your brain.

I'm like jeff in that I can't sit through a movie anymore unless its a movie I really give a shit about. TV shows are more of a thing I can put on in the background and still absorb.

TV. I watch more TV than movies. I feel a movie is an investment with new characters, where as a TV show is growth with characters you already know and presumably are interested in or like.

I tend to binge on movies right before the Oscars though.

DO THE HULK OR CAPTAIN AMERICA OR IRON MAN OR THOR STAR IN THE SHOW?! NO NO NO NO NON O NO NOON FIHICI ;NQAWSPFVSNIO

I prefer to play games, if I have nothing to play I'll watch a tv show.
