O.K., I read a lot a diffrent post from all over the place. The one thing I read is that some fans only watch their "faves" it could be a couple or
just one person on the show. My resoponse is that I have watched gl since I was a kid, with my mom. I have always had a favorite person or couple, but I tend
to WATCH all the show. There in maybe the problem, do you just watch your favorites or do you tend to watch the whole show?? Maybe, that is the problem with
ratings? Question, should you watch the whole show or just the favorites?? I know that in the past few years I have ff a LOT of the show but I have stopped
doing that(hopefully) I will no longer have to do that. How do you watch??

I've always watched the whole show. I FF when a character gets on my nerves and I've listened long enough to know that they'll be saying the same
old thing. I don't know how a person would follow the show if they only watch their faves.

I watch the whole show--I may not give full attention to storylines I dont care for, but I do watch the whole show ( as long as I have the time )

I watch the whole show, usually record and save it for my private collection. I have several favorite sls, so there is usually always someone on that I'm
interested in seeing. Plus I recap on Kim's Board and Robert's Board, everyday, the entire show.

I watch the whole show. I ff only if I am annoyed by a character. No one is annoying me right now. But I HATE it when someone is talking to a grave stone or to
someone in a coma. LOL. Also sometimes some characters get over exposed and I ff through them at times. Also, it annoys me when it looks like the writers are
obviously trying to drag out the story line. LOL. Like Bill wandering through the woods. I ffed through that...

I watch the whole show, but have ff once in a while. I usually just read the paper or something, if it is someone I don't care for.

I watch everything. My roommate in college, who got me hooked on GL, used to FF through most of it and insist that she could "just tell" what was
going on. That drove me nuts, and I drove her nuts in return by insisting that she rewind everything and let me watch it.
 Even when she would ff through
commercials and miss the start of the show by a few seconds, I'd make her rewind.

I record the show and ff'd the stuff I don't care about (because it is boring or annoying or just plain stupid.) I wouldn't say I ever watched only
my favorites. I will watch the whole thing if it is interesting, but over the last year or so I watched less and less and finally stopped recording it. I read
the recaps and if something sounds interesting I figure I can watch online. I watch it when I am home from work for some reason. I will probably watch some
after GA comes back.

I used to watch the whole show, but then stopped watching completely for a while and just read a few spoilers and the comments on here and got a few recaps
from my mom to see if there was anything I was interested in watching. After hearing that Phillip was coming back I decided to start watching again and have
found myself skipping through the stuff with Beth, Coop, and Alan as I am not interested in the slightest about that storyline!! I have really enjoyed the
rest of the show and may become a full-time viewer again in time.

I loved GL in the days that it was an ensemble show. To me, that is the most appealing aspect of GL, that it is meant to be an ensemble show. So, to watch ONLY
my favourites will be tantamount to watching GL for all the wrong reasons!
OTOH: I am NO glutton for punishment, and over the years, there have been stories as well as characters that were unbearable to watch - and I will DEFINITELY ff through those scenes. There is not enough time nor energy in my life to watch every scene every day on any show. There have been times when GL simply broke my heart and I stopped watching for a while, thinking that I will be back to watching again some day. And so far, I have come back and so far, the show has stayed on for me to come back. I have been lucky this far, regarding GL being available to be in my life.

The subject line of this post was a little misleading! I thought it had to do with some sort of marital positioning in the bedroom or something of the effect!
