Do you and OH usually watch tv together?

[SausageCrush]

Is this very old fashioned now everyone has tablets?
We do watch together, but also spend a lot of time 'discussing' what we will both enjoy.
There are some series (Call the Midwife for me, Outlander for him for example) that have to be viewed separately by negotiation 😁

Oh god no, not old fashioned at all IMO.

We always watch telly (well, Amazon/ Netflix etc) together but he might be playing his PC game (pc next to sofa) and I'll crochet or knit but we have very similar tastes in things to watch (like sci fi, horror, thrillers, fantasy etc).

Tis lovely! We comment and rip things apart and laugh our bums off together.

Only time I will watch something different is if he is working away and then l'll watch something girly like a Jane Austin adaption

He's away ATM as he has to go into work every day and my health isn't great so we are self isolating so I don't get ill. So instead we now whatsapp whilst watching the same programme.

Masterchef tonight so we will watch apart but send each other bitchy comments LOL

We always watch TV together. We have similar tastes so it's not often that we give up on something cos the other one doesn't enjoy it. If DH wants to watch something he knows I won't like, he saves it for while he's doing the ironing when I'm out. We're in our 40s so it may well be that we're old fashioned.

We watch some tv together and some separately. I love outlander, he isn't interested. He loved Altered Carbon, I kept falling asleep.

We both loved The Tiger King

Not really.

We only have a few programmes in common that we like, mostly quiz shows and crime dramas. We do try and watch these together, or save and watch on catch up.

Apart from that He likes true crime, sci-fi and dr who, I like real life documentaries, food shows, house programmes.

He works shifts so is often at work or in bed in the evenings and works 2 out of 3 weekends.

So combination of different tastes and different sleeping patterns we don’t watch much together at all.

Yes but sometimes he puts on really boring documentaries, although we do have lots of similar tastes.

Yes. I hate watching TV on anything other than a TV. It does mean compromise - I like sci fi, he doesn't, he likes cycling and obscure documentaries about architecture that I am not keen on, but we meet in the middle on thrillers, quiz shows, detective stuff, most history/ music/ art documentaries and comedy. It does mean I have a sheaf of stuff on the digi box that I haven't seen because usually I would watch it while he was out - Dr Who, Star Trek Discovery, some films.

Yes, we don't have any tablets, just one rubbish laptop (is that a tablet?!) so we put the kids to bed then discuss what we'll watch on telly..,.cant imagine doing anything else! Although we sometimes surf whilst watching if it's not great telly. I like the chat/communication that joint viewing brings though.

We only watching quiz programmes together like Millionaire and The Chase.
We have completely different tastes.

We only have one TV, so yes.

We did a lot of the time, not always.

Yes, we almost always have a ‘boxset’ on the go. Ozark on Netflix at the moment. We take turns to choose the series.

There are things I watch separately (Call The Midwife, Eastenders, Death in Paradise...and at the moment the daily coronavirus update!!), and he watches a bit of football on his laptop. But snuggling up on the sofa to binge watch telly with my DH is one of my favourite things.

We watch different TV 80% of the time, most of the time were in the same room but one will be on laptop/iPad with headphones and other will have the TV.
We watch films and certain documentary style programs together but we have different tastes in TV shows.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest and neither him.

Yes, but I'm picky and he watches all/any old shite IMO.

Currently watching Ozark together. It's nice to sit down with a glass of wine after a day of endlessly bickering over all the annoying things that happen now we're all together all day long.

Often buy a movie to watch together too, although we have to negotiate as we don't always like the same things.

Yes most nights we do although I'm an awful for flitting between phone and TV so rarely watch anything until the end!

DH watches films and I don't have enough attention span but we do watch comedy and box sets as we have very similar taste in what we enjoy. Currently working our way through Better Call Saul and have Ozark on our radar for after we've finished that.

Yes, we watch TV together most evenings - we usually have a box set or series on the go. He does like watching documentaries about aircraft and war, which don't do it for me - so he watches those while I'm busy. Similarly, I'm on maternity leave at the moment, so I watch things he wouldn't like during the daytime when I'm alone with a baby and a toddler.

Not usually - though University Challenge together and the occasional documentary. Maybe in same room with him watching TV or reading and me on iPad with earphones. Rarely find a film that we both like.

We do. Most nights. When we settle down after the day (we are a home educating family so tag team between workand home edding)
We really enjoy that time from 9 to "wheneverwefallasleep" o'clock.

Sometimes the teenager joins us if its something he would enjoy.

We put our phones away and just watch something. A series or a film depending on tiredness.

I really cherish that time every night.

Yes! We have long had an arrangement where we do what we like separately until 9pm then we watch TV together. We usually have a Netflix/Amazon series on the go (Better Call Saul and The Path atm)

No dh is really annoying to watch anything with because he talks throughout and repeats things being said

We watch on different devices but in the same room and dh uses his airpods so as not to disturb me

He half watches what I'm watching if that counts? His pc is in the livingroom due to the office-cum-readingroom has been taken over by a baby 😂
And well talk, but usually he's plugged in with his friends playing games.
We've started watching supernatural again though so we spend 2 nights a week binge watching about 3 or 4 episodes.

Yeah we do, DH plays fifa sometimes while I mumsnet or knit. Then we watch tv at 9ish for an hour or two. It's nice, do our own thing but then come together.
