| Which is better? Watching the TV shows we love to watch on tv? Or the entire season on disc? I have to say that i prefer the Disc approach, a little thing called commercials. Then again, i watch less tv so i find less shows to obsess over so i buy less. A vicious circle. But i digress. I suppose watching a show on TV allows for the build up of suspense as you follow the series but then you either forget you were watching it last week or they change the times on you. More often than not you start the show and then find something more interesting on and miss the show. Or you have the type of family members that like to switch to other shows during commercials and then you get caught up in something completely different and wind up missing big parts of both shows as you switch between the two. That is frustrating, let me tell you... or not. The down side to not watching shows is that they might get canceled. The flip side I'm sure is that they do get the proceeds from the Season sales. considering the costs and how many are bought regularly they must make a hefty sum. i know i have a small fortune in TV series on a bookshelf in front of me... but then again i have an even bigger one upstairs made up of books. A problem, to some, with having entire series on disk is that you get the urge to watch everything to the end. All at once. I was introduce to Chuck by watching the first episode on the day before one of my few days off. i spent the rest of the night and most of the next day watching the rest of the series. I think i forgot to sleep but i cant tell anymore. I'm just glad that it was only the first season. When we got the first six seasons of Stargate: SG1 on disc i got it into my head to watch them all in one week. I know i only slept when i passed out and had a steady supply of popcorn and cream soda. Otherwise that was the best week and a half of summer vacation i have had in a long time. Yes. That's right. I'm a Stargate Junkie. I'm sure I've had a crush on the main characters of SG1 at one point or another... including Sam(she's just pretty.). Stargate Atlantis was a bit of a let down but it has gotten better as they go along. But i think I have flowed a bit off subject. So, TV vs buy-able seasons. I know what i prefer. What about you? | ||||||||||||
