View Full Version : anyone else feel guilty?
Dennis3264 11-06-2004, 12:17 PM Anyone else feel guilty when they buy a tv series dvd and never actually end up watching or enjoying it?
I got the Jeffersons season 2 when I was under the impression that I actually liked the Jeffersons. I don't...
I got Married with Children Seasons 1 and 2. I really, really liked the show but for some reason that faded shortly after watching the DVDs. Not because I don't enjoy the DVDs, its just my liking for the show faded and now that I want a couple of other DVDs that I am sure I will watch, I feel guilty for buying DVDs that I won't watch...
It's sad, so sad... It's a sad, sad situation.
Dean Winchester 11-06-2004, 02:25 PM I am usually VERY picky about the shows I buy... when it's a show I decide to get even though it'd been awhile since I've seen these episodes (227, early Simpsons, Charlie's Angels, Taxi), I will watch an episode as soon as I get home to see if I still like it... every show I've done that with I still enjoyed enough that I'd still go ahead and get the rest of the seasons.
Probably was a bad idea to buy both MWC seasons 1 and 2 if you didn't know for sure you still liked it.
But the good thing is... TV-DVD's are such a hot property that you're more than likely to find someone who'd wanna buy those shows off you. So it's not like you're stuck with an old cd that fetches 49 cents on ebay's Buy It Now.
slackermonkey 11-06-2004, 03:33 PM I'm really picky too, so I never buy something that I won't watch at least twice all the way through.
Occasionally I'll buy something blind just to have something to watch, based on reviews. But you can always return it or exchange it for something you know you'll like.
Brian 11-06-2004, 06:55 PM I always check the reviews before I buy any series. I don't like to buy TV DVDs that are edited, although I will concede if it's an episode or two with extremely small edits.
If you have Netflix, it is always a good idea to rent them before you buy them. You can only rent one disc at a time, though.
PZelda 11-06-2004, 07:35 PM Yeah, I felt the same way about SBTB. Bad choice for me. :o
Ant-Lox 11-07-2004, 01:53 PM yeah i bought "Who's The Boss" season 1 beacuse i loved it as a kid, but i fell asleep during every episode & it took me forever to finish the set..i havent watched it since i finished it:(
barwars 11-07-2004, 04:14 PM So far, I've gotten Seasons 1,2,3 and 5 of Sanford & Son for free.
But if I had purchased them, I would feel guilty.

You sonuvabitch. :p
Central Perk 11-17-2004, 09:31 PM I don't feel guilty for not watching sets that I have bought, I feel stupid, lol. I bought The Simpsons Season 1 and Season 2. I don't know what I was thinking because Season 1 didn't interest me that much, but then I got Season 2 and couldn't even finish it. I probably should have bought Futurama or the second Family Guy Volume 2 instead. :o
EmoJoe 11-17-2004, 09:57 PM I bought ALF and I fell asleep in every episode. At least it was more for my mom than me :D
