Do your older relatives who watched shows during it's original run in 60's and 70's, - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 09-14-2004, 07:08 PM

refused to buy the show on DVD in 2004? My mom and grandmom watched the Jeffersons, All in the Family, and Maude on CBS but have the least bit interest in purchasing those shows on DVD. Anyone else have relatives who feel this way about shows they watched in 60's and 70's?

Why do they feel like that ? Have you asked them ?

G-Force Glockstar · 09-14-2004, 07:15 PM

Hmmm...I'm not sure.

I have relatives that liked TV Shows back then, but I don't know if they're intersted in buying them on DVD.

They told me because it's nothing new and it's something they seen before. They said they did enjoy all of those shows when they preimered and would rush home to make sure they had the TV tned to CBS when they came on. But they just feel like it's everything they seen before so why watcht it again?
My mom will watch those shows in syndication but not buy them on DVD

I wonder why someone would rather watch cut up episodes then watch uncut ones.

My dad loved M*A*S*H back then & he has all of the seasons that have currently been released on dvd.

I wonder will i feel that way 20 years from now about shows like Fresh Prince and Step by Step.

my family would never do that, they feel they can just tape the shows off tv. They just don't see the point of spending so much money for DVDs when you can tape them FREE from tv.

I'm about the only person in my family who buys tv show DVDS

This is why I was thinking of buying my mother the Golden Girls dvd set when it comes out. She likes the show and watches it often, but she's not much of a dvd person, she probably wouldn't even watch the dvd set enough to make buying it worth it.

By the way, why didn't you put this in the tv-on-dvd board?

I guess because it's still kind of a new board and i forget sometimes-lol

My parents did feel this way... until "Dallas" came out on DVD, they bought it last night for $39.99

Dianne3 · 09-15-2004, 05:40 PM

I saw a lot of the 70's sitcoms in their original run, so I guess that makes me an "older relative." LOL

I might be the only person on this board who is not into DVD's.

I love classic TV, but my money goes toward things that I consider more of a priority.

I also think like SA mother does. I have seen a lot of these shows before, would watch them in syndication, but will not rush out to buy a DVD.

I do not think my parents would go out and a purchase a DVD of a television show that they watched 30 years ago; I on the other hand, would rush out a.s.a.p. once the DVD is released.

Well don't rush because DVD's are a tad bit overrated-lol
