Continental EWR to MCO plane question

[js]

We are flying from Newark to Orlando next month and it just occurred to me that we may not have the tvs to watch as JetBlue and Song have had on our previous flights. Does CO have the tvs? I have two children 8 and 12 and although I know they will be ok, I am a complete basketcase when flying and having the tvs have helped me a little. I put the volume up very high so I don't hear the noise of the plane and try to keep myself occupied with a show.
I should have booked with a different carrier if they don't have the tvs but for $200 I wanted to jump onthe tickets and although my husband doesn't mind JetBlue he prefers to fly on a Boeing Jet rather than Airbus.
Does anyone know?
Thank you.

Continental does not have tv's on the flight from EWR to MCO.
I have flown SONG, Continental and Jet Blue. I usually purchase what ever is cheaper. I miss SONG. Last month we used FFM on Delta and had to change planes. This Friday we are flying JET BLUE from EWR to MCO. I like the TV's...

I don't believe they have TVs. Someone here will know for sure.

Oh goodness, above will be me during our flight.
What should I do. I have a portable DVD player, maybe I will bring that and not share with the kids
This is really a big deal for me. I guess I will bring the DVD player and get a good movie. My son (8) will have his PSP and so will my 12 year old dd. They can watch movies on their psp and I can use the dvd player.
Maybe one (or two) drinks before our morning flight will now be in order.
Thank you both for your quick responses.

First of all, relax. Continental does a very nice job on their flights. When I flew them in May, they gave me the impression that they were a "classier" airline than some of the others. They were very professional.

Now, they don't have TV's, so the DVD player is in order in your case. Pop in a good movie and relax, just remember the headphones. I bought some noise cancelling ones and you can't hear anything else, NICE!!!

Again, relax and enjoy the trip!

I flew Continental from EWR to MCO in February. The plane we were on did not have personal screens, but it did have monitors on the ceiling of the plane that played several sitcoms during the flight.
