It's not consciously a money-saving activity, it really isn't.
It's mainly about time and attention span. I rarely make the time to watch a two hour movie any week. If I have a few minutes for viewing, I'll watch music videos. If I have 25 minutes, I'll watch a comedy show. If I have 45 minutes, I'll watch an action or detective show. If I have more, I'll do something else.
And I simply believe that there is better dialogue, more humour, more satire, even better visual scenes in any random episode of Futurama (or MASH or Extras or countless others) than in any random comedy film that has been released in the last few years.
And I simply believe that there is better dialogue, more danger, more humour, even better visual scenes in any random episode of The Professionals (or House or countless others) than in any random thriller that has been released in the last few years.
And with the V+ series link we have banks of this stuff still on the virtual shelf.
Yet, somehow, whenever we discuss films at work, I've watched most of them.

So you like The Professionals also. You must be the other person who also watches ITV4.
