Of the 2,300 viewing segments mentioned by respondents, 81 percent were for TV shows. Hulu Plus is dominated by TV&nbsp;viewership&mdash;96 percent. At Netflix, users preferred TV shows by a three-to-one margin (77 percent versus 23 percent). At Amazon Prime it was 79 percent to 21 percent. In terms of total viewing time, TV dominated movies by a factor of two to one. <br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">The most mentioned TV show, with 4 percent of viewing segments, was <em>Star Trek<\/em>, followed by <em>Breaking Bad<\/em> and <em>Mad Men<\/em> at 3 percent each.

These services provide the control and multiplicity of choice that consumers crave, and the result is very individual behavior.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW&nbsp;YORK: A new report from GfK has found that subscribers to Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant Video and Hulu Plus are overwhelmingly watching more TV&nbsp;shows&mdash;both classic and contemporary&mdash;on those services than they are watching movies, by a margin of about four to one.
