Quick question.

Is there a way to listen to TV shows on my iPhone without having the screen on?

Just want to listen to some shows at work without the screen on at all?
 
I think that would be labeled under multitasking, you maybe able to with a Jailbreak.

Turning the screen off isn't multitasking.

That's doing less than 1 thing at a time. That's...less-tasking. (Or something.)

At any rate, no, the iPhone will play music with the screen off, but not video. The best option is to turn screen brightness down all the way and turn off the auto-brightness function. It helps a little, at least.
