Now, BINGING is so commonplace that 83% of Americans say they binge-watch SOMETHING at least once a month . . . and only 7% say they NEVER do it.

Those numbers are from a new survey from the The Hollywood Reporter.  They  found that while a majority of the 2000+ people they interviewed, prefer an entire season be released at once…live, weekly viewing is still popular.

In fact, a good portion of America still prefers to wait a week for a new episode.

Unsurprisingly, the rapid method of consuming content is more appealing to younger Americans. In fact, 76 percent of TV watchers ages 18 to 29 said they preferred bingeing, compared to 65 percent of viewers ages 30 to 44, 50 percent of viewers ages 44 to 54 and 45 percent of viewers ages 55 to 64. The older the viewer, the less likely they are to enjoy binge-watching — except for the eldest age group of 65-and-over, of which there was a slight uptick (51 percent, meaning a 6 percent increase compared to the closest age range) in binge-watching preferences.

I like the option to binge, but I space them out..unless I am sick, then give me ALL the shows!
