Yes, but we enjoy mostly the same things and we only have one TV.

Yes we like the same shows. And we only have one tv.
All except longmire. I hate that show.

Sometimes.
We might be in the same room, but it's more likely that I'm on the Macbook while he has control of the remote and surfs through shows. When he falls asleep DD or I grab the remote and switch to something recorded or streaming.
We will watch sports or documentaries together more than series these days.
We don't go to different rooms to watch different shows at the same time.

We watch somethings together and also have our own shows we watch alone. Most evenings when DH is home - he travels a lot for work - we will watch TV together, usually something we've recorded or on Netflix. Weekends, we will usually watch soccer (German Bundesliga) together, especially when Bayern Munich are playing. With other matches, is is often on in the background while we are on our computers or I am crafting, and we look up when something major happens. I also have my shows that I watch while he is away, and he has his shows that he watches when I am out or when he is traveling. We only have 1 TV in a 4 room apartment - we really don't have a lot of options about watching separately.

We are usually sitting next to each other but he’s watching the big tv and I’m on my iPad. This month he binged Downton Abbey while I was watching Veronica Mars. Or I’ll be watching rom-coms and he’s watching hockey. I just glance up on occasion and check out what’s going on. I’m a multitasker and it drives him crazy when I’m watching something and doing other things. Cross stitch, playing a game on my phone, texting etc. I can’t just sit there and watch. 9 times out of 10 I’m just listening to the show I’m “watching”, I’ve done that since I was a kid.

We have one tv and we don't have broadcast tv and dh has no interest in sports and we watch very little tv. Yes, we watch together. We like the same shows. Sometimes, when he is gone for a bike trip, I will watch by myself. Usually I watch the Great British Baking Show.

once in a while depending on the show, but more often than not I am in my craftroom watching and he is in the living room. I watch the news and crime shows, and nascar; he prefers fishing, football and cartoons, and while I like Big Bang Theory.

Yes, we only have Netflix atm but we put something on so we can watch it together. We like the same stuff and snuggle up on the sofa. I can't imagine both of us being home and wanting to be in separate rooms.

We watch some of the news (depending on when he gets home from work), then "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy" every night. Sometimes we watch "The Great British Baking Show" when Jeopardy isn't on (Sundays). Sometimes if Jeopardy isn't on (like last night, due to sports) we'll watch something else...last night it was the documentary about Fred Rogers. (Well it was actually the documentary about Mister Rogers.... ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/OrTI4SBmZ2ZYSFv6ag4f.jpg) ) Other than that, never. We like totally different things. I don't even watch much TV at all....I mostly watch shows on Netflix, Prime, or now Disney+. He watches (listens?) to all the political talk shows. ugh. And he watches a lot of PBS and he loves the British cop shows. I don't care for them because they're too slow....I like car chases and things blowing up and people swooping out of helicopters. lol. Thankfully (for me) dh has his work/hobby room in the basement so that's where he mostly watches TV. We have another one in the living room where I hang out in the evening. I've always resisted having one in the bedroom because I know dh would have it on too much (too much for me I mean) and it would make me crazy. lol

Yes.
We watch the news together, we like the same sports, and a few tv shows (like reruns of the Office)
Neither of us has ever really been into watching any TV series where we watch on first run nights lif we catch something by chance but we don’t really watch TV as a “thing”.
If we are “couching our” we will find a movie to watch that we both like.

Yes and no. He watches various things. Sometimes it's things I am interested in watching, sometimes not. We used to have shows we would watch together (Lost, it was like our date night after the kids went to bed). We have been watching Designated Survivor on Netflix and also Madame Secretary.
What I don't like is if I'm watching something he doesn't care for (Lifetime movies or Hallmark movies), he'll sit here and say stuff mocking it. It irritates me. He knows it and still does it. That then just pisses me off even more.

He watches what he wants and I sit on the couch and crochet. If he's watching something that gets my anxiety up, like shooting and car chases, I pop in my earbuds and listen to a podcast. I rarely watch TV as I just don't have the attention span for it.

We do. We watch cooking shows and a few other shows he likes. He doesn't watch as much as I do and he doesn't like a lot of the shows I watch. I'm okay with that. I like to watch my shows and will do it when he is grading papers or something. When I met him almost four years ago, he didn't have a tv.

DH watches sports and horrible old re-runs like JAG. I'll do my own thing until about 8 pm, then go sit with him. I read or Pea or do needlework. When I watch TV in my craft area, I really just listen. Since I retired, I usually listen to audio books instead of the TV.

Yes..most TV shows we do during the week. On the weekend he watches sports and I watch ID channel (or nothing at all). But we tend to like the same shows...or he tolerates what I like.

When I was moving into an apartment alone a year or so after meeting dh I didn’t have a tv. He was flabbergasted and insisted on buying one for the living room. Eventually we ended up with one in the bedroom too. There were shows we watched together and many he watched alone. After he retired he had way more free time for his favorite shows. When we watched tv I was usually on my iPad playing a game. It drove him nuts.

More often than not he watches what he wants and I just happen to be in the same room at the same time. I often don't turn the TV on during the day so when he turns it on, he turns it to what he selects. We occasionally watch a series together (nothing at the moment) or a movie. Mostly though, I'm on my laptop or doing some little sitting-job while we spend time together at night. I'm surprised how many have only one TV. It seems I remember past threads where people had TVs all over their homes. We have only one in the family room. It's a deliberate decision to not have one in the bedroom. The 18-year-old of course has a huge TV in his room mostly for gaming.

Rarely. Our tastes in TV shows are too divergent. I hate violent or noisy shows. And I barely tolerate the old, old westerns he watches every night, but I can sit with him while he watches those. But if he turns on a game show or violent shows, I’m out. We have 4 sets and I still don’t watch a lot. DH watches the big screen in the family room. There’s a small wall mounted TV in the kitchen I like to have on while I’m cooking or baking. I have one in my craft room that’s mostly tuned to the Hallmark Channel. In the evening, I go up to the bedroom and watch a few shows or finally watch something I dvr’d ages ago. My favorite thing to do in the evening is go upstairs, get comfy snuggled up in bed with our 3 dogs and play on my iPad while listening to music or reading.

We usually do. If he's watching football (Yuck), I'm usually reading or playing on the computer. Sometimes I will go scrapbook while he does that. I have a tv in the scrapbook room and will watch something else.

Rarely. I prefer dramas, sports and reality. He prefers documentaries. I do try to make an effort to watch movies together whether I like the movie or not so that we can spend extra time together. I tend to watch my shows in my craft room so that is another reason we don't watch tv together.

Yes, we watch TV together. If there is something one of us wants to watch that the other absolutely doesn't, we might watch when the other isnt home or one of us will go to the bedroom. That doesnt happen often.

Years ago we did. We had shows we watched together - but that was more when I watched tv a lot more and if I found a show that I thought would interest him I’d tell him and he’d watch it with me.
Dh watches things I don’t care about at all- action movies, sci fi movies- any movie he will watch. He will watch news stuff and goldrush and building things. I don’t actually like to watch movies and prefer tv shows if I am going to watch. I like sitcoms and Dh really doesn’t. Mostly older ones and I’ll rewatch them.
Currently the only things we watch together are football and jeopardy sometimes if we are eating late and watch and eat and play together.

Nope. The only shows we can agree on is Antique Roadshow or Anthony Bourdain.

We have a few shows in common but most of the time we watch things separately. When we get home from work we both need a good 20-30 minutes away from each other to decompress from the day, I’m usually watching something on the couch and he goes in our office.

My husband and I work opposite hours, so we don't get to spend time together during the week. And even on weekends, our time together is limited, because of our different sleep schedules. But we do watch TV together on sunday afternoons.

That then just pisses me off even more. Yea, that would be my dh. I think both of us think, we have limited time to watch tv at night. WHY would we want to watch something we don't want to watch? So that's what happens. Plus we've been together for so many years, we can connect later at bedtime. We have the news on, and talk in bed, it's our down time. A TV in our bedroom doesn't take away from anything.

Really only on Saturdays (college football) or when the Atlanta Braves are on. That's something we enjoy together. My main issue is that he likes to rewatch shows (Family Guy, Impractical Jokers and more) over and over and over again.
Leave me to my favorites on Netflix, Acorn or Prime.
