"Play All" Or Not? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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.....

barwars · 10-05-2004, 03:16 PM

I have never used it.

Dean Winchester · 10-05-2004, 03:38 PM

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.

Impressions · 10-05-2004, 04:39 PM

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.

PZelda · 10-05-2004, 10:36 PM

Nope. That feature is so stupid...

treky · 10-06-2004, 01:46 AM

never use it. I just play 2 or 3 episodes or features at a time.

spunkygirl · 10-06-2004, 09:16 AM

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

slackermonkey · 10-06-2004, 06:48 PM

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.

Moonlit_Suburb · 10-09-2004, 03:00 AM

Never used it for the reasons posted above.

i use it. i usually fall asleep, and end up having to start over numerous times, but i still like it that way better.

EmoJoe · 10-10-2004, 11:24 AM

Yeah I do, and when I want to stop watching it I hit "stop"

BuddyHinton · 08-24-2006, 04:28 AM

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?

Blondie Bear! · 08-24-2006, 11:13 AM

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.

It's the dumbest feature on the DVD
