Did you ever decide on one ho-hum day to pick up the remote and check out a new TV show? And if you have a streaming service such as Netflix, you watched another one, and another one? Soon, the hours turn to days and you have no idea what’s going on outside your bubble. This is the epitome of “binge-watching” and it was spoofed hilariously on “Portlandia” (see below), as the characters lose themselves (and their jobs) while watching too much “Battlestar Gallactica.” So spill. What show has been your favorite one to binge-watch recently? Vote in our poll below, and share your stories of bad personal hygiene and lost time in the comments. We won’t tell anyone. And check out a discussion of binge-watching on this week’s Mediatwits podcast.

The Sopranos. I binge watched the first season on videotape (what?) and that's how I got hooked.
The original binge watch -- 24. Lost several weekends and the whole family was sore from not moving for so long.
I do without cable. I binge on everything from Dragnet, (Yes) Battle Star Galactica, to Mad Men and Breaking Bad. I Like it. Been watching Luther this weekend.
Doctor Who...every time, all the time.
Sopranos, The Wire, and Madmen.
Doc Martin... first on PBS, then over and over again on Hulu last winter. It got me through the dark months.
I binge-watch True Blood. I will probably start watching Breaking Bad once the hoopla dies down and the entire series is released.
Fringe, Stargate Atlantis, Dr.Who (David Tenant), 30 Rock, Battlestar Gallactica
Arrow and Dr. Who are next on my binge list.
None of the above. THis is a stupid question.
