WHAT TV SHOWS WILL YOU BUY BUT NOT THE COMPLETE SERIES - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

applecherry · 12-11-2007, 01:03 PM

I MYSELF BUY TV DVD SHOWS THAT I LIKE & ALSO TO HAVE A COMPLETE COLLECTION.

I HAVE A FRIEND WHO BUY ONLY SEASONS SETS HE LIKE ONLY.

EXAMPLE

HE (MY BEST FRIEND) HAS DALLAS SEASONS 1-7. HE SAID HE WILL BUY SEASON 8 IN FEBUARY. BUT HE WILL NOT BUY SEASON 9 (THE DREAM SEQUENCE) BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LIKE S-9. BUT HE WILL CONTINUE WITH SEASON 10-13. THAT'S FINE I DIDN'T LIKE S-9 MUCH EITHER, BUT I'M GOING TO BUY IT FOR MY COLLECTION.

DO YOU BUY TV SETS TO HAVE A COMPLETE COLLECTION OR DO YOU ONLY BUY SEASONS YOU LIKE

I READ ON ANOTHER THREAD THAT SOMEONE SAID THEY HAVE BEWITCHED SEASON 1-5 BUT HE/SHE WILL NOT BUY SEASON 6-8 OF BEWITCHED.

DO MOST PEOPLE ON THIS BLOG BUY SEASON SETS THEY ENJOY ONLY
OR WOULD THEY/YOU RATHER HAVE A COMPLETE COLLECTION.

I'm one of the people who has Bewitched seasons 1-5 but I'm not going to get 6-8. I'm not a fan of the Dick Sargent era, not only because he had no chemistry with Elizabeth Montgomery, but because the stories were almost always recycled from earlier seasons. It's like everyone just gave up, and it showed on screen. They should've just ended the show after Season 5, but I digress.

well I've stopped watching it for a bit but I plan to buy all seasons of Charmed except seasons 5-6. Those were just terrible I enjoy seasons 1-4 the most though 7-8 was ok.

Dean Winchester · 12-11-2007, 04:39 PM

I stopped Charmed after season 4

My Cosby Show collection stops with 6, I can tolerate Olivia but can't stomach Pam episodes

BuddyHinton · 12-12-2007, 08:43 AM

I won't buy the final season of Roseanne and barely made it through 8. In fact I didn't. I couldn't stand it any more.

robby76 · 12-12-2007, 10:16 AM

Apart from Punky Brewster and a few one-season wonders, I almost NEVER buy the complete series of any show. Even with my fave Remington Steele, I have yet to buy the 4th and 5th season set.

Also with Three's Company I only bought seasons 2 through 5.

I only buy the cream of the crop basically. Any mediocre seasons will be left on the shelf.

I think that's ok because the series is not complete on DVD anyway since their is a edited season 1. I might buy season 7 and 8 but it won't be a rush to get it

TVFactFan · 12-12-2007, 11:15 AM

I think the only show on DVD i won't buy the entire series of is All in the Family

Mikado · 12-12-2007, 03:45 PM

I have a lot of old shows like Ozzie and Harriet and Dragnet that came on anthology DVDs of public domain stuff......If i were to buy Cheers, i'd only want the Diane years (1-5), i like the other 6 seasons, but, not enough to buy them. (Of course, i wouldnt buy any series that i can watch in syndication*, and so far Cheers is still playing 3 times a day here!)
*Corner Gas is an exception here, I have the first 3 seasons on DVD and watch them all the time!

AB · 12-12-2007, 03:47 PM

Three's Company - I mainly like the Chrissy years

Bewitched - I prefer the Dick York years

true, the sets are so cheap that I might get 7 and 8 too. A lot of people hate Olivia but to me, even if she wasn't a Huxtable by blood, she felt much more like a member of the family than Pam did. It still felt like The Cosby Show in season 6 with Denise, Martin and Olivia, but Pam never really assimilated into the Huxtable family I thought. I liked Erika Alexander on Living Single but on Cosby, she's shark-infested water.

friendsfan77 · 12-12-2007, 05:49 PM

The Simpsons

livsforluv · 12-12-2007, 06:18 PM

Ahh the Simpsons...that's a good one. For me it would have to be That 70's show. The last few seasons were terrible.

Eric Paddon · 12-12-2007, 06:23 PM

I stopped buying Moonlighting after S3 because I could not bear to see again how the greatest show on TV at the time lost its way. Better to end at S3 after they had just "done it" for the first time.

I will not buy Law And Order beyond S5 because I can not stand Sam Waterston or any of the other new cast members who came on board afterwards (frankly, the golden era of Law And Order ended with S3 for me).

I am iffy right now about going further than S4 of Bewitched. The repetitive annoyance of Endora has made going through the episodes up to this point a bit tedious.

Daniel Boone I have so far not gone beyond S2, because the departure of Veronica Cartwright I think was a bad move, and also I don't see many interesting guest stars in subsequent seasons to justify getting the additional seasons.

Never understood why her FRIENDS were seen more than any other Huxtable kid-lol
