Sunday Night Viewing: Game of Thrones vs Walking Dead

Which will you watch 'live', which will you DVR? Or DVR both and watch neither live?

Re: Sunday Night Viewing: Game of Thrones vs Walking Dead

Normally I would watch GoT and then The Walking Dead to fast forward through commercials. But since its the finale, I will watch The Walking Dead first, probably with a little delay.

Since it's the season finale, I'll watch TWD live. Figure I'd complete one fictional story arc before starting another.

TWD first since it comes on at 6 here on the west coast. GoT won't be on until later.

I rarely watch anything live, but I'll probably have to watch TWD before Monday. Love these people on FB, Twitter, etc. who don't realize people DVR, or are on different coasts, or might even wait for home video, and hit the social tubes immediately after an episode airs live and announces "ZOMG I CAN'T BELIEVE DESDEMONA WASHINGTON WAS A FISTER!!" or whatever.

I am surprised they broadcast it at the sametime as the East. Don't they usually put shows on at the same time at night as the East Coast?

I work with one of those guys. He will loudly address the small office about whatever show/movie he watched, revealing salient plot points. If anyone says "HEY I HAVEN'T WATCHED THAT YET!" he will just talk quieter, as if that diminishes the reveal about Desdemona Washington....


Me? I will watching TWD before GoT....

Actually, here on the west coast we get HBO east also and they broadcast the SD version at 6. The HD version doesn't come on until 9pm.

That is my only hestitation, no HBO East on HD for West coast other wise it would be simple.

Re: Sunday Night Viewing: Game of Thrones vs Walking Dead

Easy call - watching Game of Thrones live and then IMMEDIATELY watching Walking Dead without commercials Making sure to go on a social media lockdown.

Probably Walking Dead, then GOT. GOT will probably come before Mad Men in the following weeks, but the finale of Walking Dead wins.

Re: Sunday Night Viewing: Game of Thrones vs Walking Dead

Add to those watching GOT and then watching Dead w/o commercials. We can get either free On Demand, so it's no big deal either way. It's not like anything's going to be given away.

I would expect that most will watch Dead first since it's the finale, as several have said.

If Amazing Race runs long, we might watch both GOT & Dead delayed, on 2nd airing later that night, or ON DEMAND.
