how do you prefer to watch your favorite shows??

FamilyTiesGOP · 04-23-2004, 09:31 PM

Well since the shows I enjoy most are not out on DVD, I would say syndicated. BUT when my favorites begin coming out in season sets, I will be buying them.

I said DVD.... my two favorite series are out, and all of my other favorites are either on the way, or will definately be out eventually (shows like "The Facts of Life" and "Diff'rent Strokes", for example -- they'll be on DVD eventually, we just dont know when)

I'd pick dvds because being able to own all my favorites and watch them whenever I want is the most appealing thing to me. Aside from when Three's Company was still on Nick At Nite, I don't watch much syndicated stuff on a regular basis anyway, not like I used to. DVD is the ideal way for me to watch these shows.

Yes, you're right. Everytime I read one of your posts stating your love of tv-dvds, I'm definitely on the same wave length. I've nearly given up buying movie dvds to support my tv dvd habit.

You know how great the regular edition that is? Those extra two discs are just as great!

There's even an Easter Egg where Sam and Bill do a commentary in character.

I've taken my time with the standard set, only watched the first six episodes so far. I bet that commentary is hilarious. Bill Haverchuck is one of the funniest, greatest characters in tv history.
