Do you use the "Play All" feature on your dvds?

I used to use it, but I would often fall asleep when all the shows just keep coming on back to back, I need a little break in between the episodes to stay interested in the show.....

I just use the regular menu, because very rarely am I going to wanna watch an entire disc at once setting, tho I have "marathon'd" shows before.

I haven't ever used it. There's no way I can't sit through an entire disc at a time. I can only watch a few episodes at time; otherwise it can get boring after a while.

I used it once on one of my dvds, and I like it well enough, I like choosing the episodes I want to watch, cause I don't always watch them in order :)

Very rarely.

If I'm sick or just feel like laying in bed and vegging out for a few hours with a show, I'll use it. Otherwise, I just select episodes on the episode menu.

I really hate having to skip the "play all" feature when I pop in a dvd. I NEVER sit and watch 5-8 episodes of anything in one sitting and I wonder if most people do?

Sometimes, but usually not. The only shows I can watch a disc straight of & still stay fully entertained are Friends & The Simpsons. Usually I get fidgety & pay less attention to the show.

How is it dumb? You more than anyone has marathon viewing sessions. Just press play all, sit back relax and watch the entire dvd.

The problem I have with it is it's the first thing (often) that you pick like a majority of users use it or something which by this topic is untrue.

Yeah but if it's not in airdate order the play all feature doesn't help much

I NEVER select play all. I like to see the title of the episodes before I watch them.
