In your case, everyone can understand that. 10% still amounts to hundreds, if not thousands of hours

Lamont · 11-02-2006, 10:32 AM

sometimes i cheat

i dont 100% watch it
ill have a disc on in the background and 1/2 watch it while i do something else

giltdunn · 11-02-2006, 10:49 AM

In all honesty I doubt if I have actually watched even 10% of what has come in the past 6 months - but it will be watched as I only get in what appeals to me - trouble is I am, developing very wide tastes! This is a great, compulsive hobby and one in which yuo meet some incredibly pleasant and interesting people. My grateful thanks to all those here at sitcoms who have helpoed me find and acquire so much great arre stuff

I'm a chipmunk when it comes to my trades.
I go through a month-two months of serious trading, hundreds of discs-
and then, nothing for a month and I veg out and watch series- usually an entire season at a time.

I wait till the season ends grab the stack of 5 discs and watch it like one long mini series- I'm usually tired of it by then, which gives the network time to make new ones

I did this with supernatural, and point pleasant/ surface recently.

And after a few marathons, I am sick of tv for a bit- trade for some new stuff and it goes in that pattern.

I especially hoard and watch in the winter, cuz I don't like to freeze my tail off going to the post office.

I would LIKE to watch more of the shows in my collection, but I just don't seem to have the time. However, this time of the year, I'll tend to watch more of them, since my husband will be watching football & basketball, pretty much each evening & weekend. (Did we really NEED THURSDAY night football, too????)

Japs · 11-02-2006, 01:04 PM

With having such a small collection at the minute I have watched about 80% I would say but a lot of the time im half watching as im busy burning or playing poker online or some of my other online hobbies.

lilhave · 11-02-2006, 01:20 PM

10 percent. Your not counting the stuff that comes in the unmarked brown paper bag?, if so the numbers jump. Take the last package from RedWhine, my fingers are still burning.

i have discs playing almost all the time in my office, right behind me

i watch a minute here and there of everything i get

but as far as sitting down and watching a series

i do it in binges

i took a week and watched deep space nine recently

like 140 hours of actual show

i also take a laptop along when i travel and watch a lot in the hotels

since the tvs suck as a rule

of the shows i get, that i want for myself

i have viewed about 75 %

most of the shows i like, are huge

gunsmoke, star treks, t zone, little house, cagney and lacey, etc,etc

but as far as overall episodes

maybe 3% of the total

ps, i do not watch any current programs at all

nothing for my taste

Oh, the things I could say!!!

But this being a family site & all, I'll simply say you may want to have a bucket of ice handy, when opening the next package! It's got exclusive, never before seen footage of "Harvey's Devils" in their Halloween outfits. (Such as they are.)

breadguy · 11-02-2006, 02:41 PM

I find myself watching shows I have to transfer more than I am actually able to watch shows I have for enjoyment. I would love to watch more Rawhide each week but if I do that I won't have time to transfer Wagon Train, if I watch Mannix I won't have time to transfer Cannon, if I watch Real McCoys I won't have time to transfer Lucy Show, etc. etc. I am in the unfortunate position of having to watch shows I may not be in the mood for but still need to do it to get things transferred over before I shuffle off this mortal coil. Once I get more shows transferred I'll finally be able to watch exactly what I want to watch from my collection. That's when I'll start wearing out the Rawhide & Gunsmoke discs.
