Which do you like better? For me it's TV shows. Although I have never watched a single TV show week to week. I wait for a couple seasons to come out and then I watch them. I don't know exactly why. Maybe because overall there is more content. It's also easier to watch a 20-45 minute show instead of a 2 hour movie. What do you guys like better and why?

TV by a mile as there's so much more of a great show than a great movie.

TV, they are like a really really long movie imo.  Movies are still awesome though.

i'm more into movies. there are some good shows but a lot of them get banished to extra subscription services like HBO and cable has a nasty habit of discontinuing the good ones.

tv programs do have the potential to pull off longer and more gradual character arcs (if they can get the talent involved) and that's something to get excited about. however, that length can be just as much of a burden. not a lot of ideas can support 10 hour seasons or whatever. a lot of the time, a concise 2 hour movie is the best way to tell the story.

Movies.

The commercials during tv shows always break any tension or excitement that some shows work for and they're just generally annoying.

Lately I've been way more into TV shows, but movies were always my first love. I guess I've just gotten really into the long-term character development that TV can more easily provide. I still love movies, though!!!!!!! I need to watch more. I've been slacking.

I find myself watching movies on a regular heavy basis far more than TV shows and tend to find them much more rewarding.

I would say movies, can watch your favorite movies any time, and there's some really good legends out there. TV back about 15-20 years ago, would be more of a worthy competition against movies imo, but nowadays, not so much. TV's really lost it.

TV shows... mainly because when you find one you love you can blow through the various episodes and seasons, the longer running the better. But I love movies too, sometimes the short and sweet is better, plus movies generally have better actors and higher production values.

I've been getting in to more TV shows as of recent, and it's always constant battle of attention and interest towards one of the two mediums. It's difficult to choose one over the other. All I know is that when I really get into a series, my movie watching activities drastically decrease.

TV shows of course. It wouldn't make sense to make a movie about these:

I prefer TV shows. TV shows are longer and leave more room for detail and character development.

Coin toss.

TV shows tend to stay longer with me though. Hate that feeling of post-show depression you get after no lifing something fantastic.

That's difficult to decide, but since I watch a lot more movies I'd say that. I've only got into watching TV shows since last year, and now I'm fully invested in a number of ongoing awesome shows like Breaking Bad, Dexter and The Walking Dead, aswell as shows which have already ended like 24 and The Shield.
