Buy Or Not To Buy

That is THE question!

Lately, I'm thinking of not buying any more DVDs at all.

We can watch full episodes any time on Hulu, The WB and others.

It's a waste of money to buy them.

There are some TV seasons that is TAKING FOREVER to be release on DVD.

(I hoped I make some sense. LOL)

I have Way too many DVDs to quit now.
TV is much more enjoyable playing what you like -when you like.

I have way too many DVDs not to quit. I've already had to store several sets away, so I have to be much more selective with sets that I buy in the future. I think I have enough to last me a lifetime.

I have all Sanford & Son seasons, except the fourth season.

I have all The Golden Girls seasons, except the last three.

I have all Saved By The Bell seasons, except the third/fourth season.

I have all Three's Company seasons, except the fourth/eighth season.

I have all That 70's Show seasons, except the second, seven and eighth season.

I have way too many also, but I have to complete some sets. I love the fact that I can watch them whenever I want and it doesn't matter if they're not being shown anymore.

Me too.

I know I missed some episodes in the original run.

I have not watch every episodes of Everyone Loves Raymond, King Of Queens, The George Lopez Show and etc.

Thank goodness for DVD TV!

I won't buy the DVD sets when I saw the reruns a zillion of times.

I won't buy I Love Lucy, The Simpsons and such.

I Love Lucy comes on four times a day at 9 AM and NOON on KCOP 13 weekdays.

The Simpsons comes on three times a day at 6 PM, 7:30 PM, and 11 PM on FOX 11 weeknights

We have a lot of DVD's, movies and shows. We only buy what we really liked and we would rather sit in front of the big screen TV relaxing on the sofa to watch them. We'll keep buying them.
