Marathon viewing, or binge viewing, entire TV series in one sitting also became a major entertainment trend in 2012. Customers most loved catching up on serial dramas. Of all TV series, Grey’sAnatomy has the most views per viewer in a month through On Demand and Streampix. That shows it’s the most binge-watched show in all of the offerings.  In fact, in one month in 2012, the average Grey’s viewer racked up an average of 20 episode views!  Customers also enjoyed binging on episodes of The Office, Entourage and Army Wives.

Comcast expects to see even more marathon viewing and downloading as they constantly add even more current content to Xfinity On Demand, and Xfinity Streampix.

My four year old daughter watches nothing but On Demand kids show since they have fewer commercials and dont clog my DVR. My favorites for On Demand watching are The Good Wife and Homeland. What do you watch On Demand?
