Hi everyone,

Dialogue:

A: 'Do you watch CSI Miami and CSI New York?'
B: 'No, I don't watch either (of them).' or 'I watch neither.' or simply 'Neither.'

Is B correct? If not, please, tell why not.

Is 'why not' correct?

Thanks
Alexandro

Yes and yes, though 'neither' on its own would be an unusual response.
