Buttom for shows like sitcoms.

Some times maybe I wanna watch a quick 30 minute show while I eat and I don't wanna start over on King of the Hill, or search for an episode I like of Frasier.

Honestly I can't think of why none of them have seemed to have added this yet.

I think you just want cable or network tv.

Honestly that is part of why streaming doesn't really work for me in most cases. Binging is not how I typically consume video.

Netflix has that already

But then you still get commercial breaks and you're beholden to their schedules and the shows they want to show you. Cable's good for the whole "pick something for me to watch" thing, but having a little more control than that is generally better than not having it, and a "random episode" button would fill that need perfectly without downgrading everything else.

Idk why you want a randomizer if you'd potentially be unhappy with the result...you'd keep randomizing until you get an episode you want. At that point you might as well just look up what episodes you like and put them on.

That exists but tc wants an episode randomizer. I think it's a good idea for shows like the office or friends. Shows with a ton of episodes that can be watched in isolation.

Oh, he worded it terribly.

How is that worded terribly? Did you fail every year of reading comp or something?

I would use this for Bob's Burgers on Hulu

"I wish streaming shows had a episode randomizer, so I didn't have to pick an episode to watch" Would have been a better way to say that.

I find that hard to believe considering it appears you failed 6th grade a few times.

Are you this testy because you're trying to make up for something?

Only thing I am making up for is your lack of ability to understand what you read.

Hey, I get it. You're mad at the world cause you got one ball, it's not our fault, dude.

To be fair you definitely could have worded your initial post better. It isn't made completely clear until one of your later posts.

I understood it clearly from post 1, but I'm an intellectual
