I've come to the grand conclusion that when you need something to watch later at night, a movie will trump the option of watching a tv show, even if the tv show happens to be your most favouritest [yes, I realized favouritest is not a word] show. Here is my logic:
A movie is long enough already that when it ends, you know it's silly to watch more than once and just one more time won't hurt. A good movie that you've already seen multiple times is excellent because if you turn it off halfway through due to exhaustion, you aren't disappointed/anxious/angry because you're missing what happens next. You already know!
A tv show, especially a favourite one can make you think you're safe and just one more episode won't hurt because it's only 20 minutes long [give or take]. Not to mention tv shows usually leave off at critical/exciting/sentimental time where you NEED to know what happens next. And then you realize it's 1 am and you work at 8 am. The only exclusion to this rule I can think of is I, Claudius because it's an hour and a bit per episode; but even then I find myself reasoning that only one more or even just half an episode would be ok. No, Tor, no it is not ok at all.
Therefore, tonight, The Princess and the Frog trumps How I Met Your Mother. Especially since although I love the animation in it, I love the soundtrack more and enjoy it for background music while knitting.
True story.
