Netflix Most Watched Movies: Last Finished One in 2011

Transcript of the segment

What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: What's on Netflix.

1. Vera BullockWhat's on Netflix has ranked the most watched English-language Netflix movies of twenty twenty-six so far, from The Rip to Enola Holmes Three, using twenty-eight days of viewing.

2. Vera BullockSo here's the question: does it count as watching if you fell asleep at minute eleven?

3. Chip DarnellAbsolutely it counts. I put on Enola Holmes Three while I fold laundry, and I've never missed a single sock.

4. Hank LedgerFolding is not watching. Watching requires eyes on the screen.

5. Vera BullockHank, I'm sorry, but I pressed play on The Rip four separate times, and I'm counting every one of them as a full viewing.

6. Vera BullockThat's four views from me alone, and the data should honor it.

7. Hank LedgerFour.

8. Chip DarnellVera, I'm on your side now, because I once left a movie on all night for the dog, and he gave it his full attention.

9. Chip DarnellHe's a loyal viewer.

10. Vera BullockThe dog counts. The dog is a top-ten viewer.

11. Hank LedgerI finish what I start. Ninety minutes, eyes open, no folding, no dogs. That is the only honest way to watch a movie.

12. Chip DarnellHank, when's the last time you finished one?

13. Hank LedgerTwenty-eleven. It was a documentary about a lighthouse.

14. Vera BullockChat, vote now: does falling asleep count as watching? Hands up from the couch. I say yes, Chip says yes, and Hank says it doesn't.

15. Hank LedgerFine, it counts, and by that rule I've seen every movie on that list and remember none of them.
