I tend to not watch things that are current. And then if everybody swears it's amazing then I'll like watch the whole series in a weekend.
In my cranky old age, I actually prefer recording alone now, on 'The Simpsons, ' for example, because I find that the director can just focus on what I'm doing and I can do a lot of variations. A lot of times, when I record with a group, I'll stay after class for another hour or two.
