Watching TV DVDs - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

do you always go to the list of episodes first, or just select PLAY ALL and watch the episodes that way?
That's what I've started doing; I've decided it's better that way when I don't know the episode title since you don't always know the titles when you watch the show on TV.

I don't do the "Play All" with the episodes on DVD. I click on the individual episode I want to watch.

I find that my mood might change when the episode is finished and I may not want to continue after it.

I seldom ever do "Play All." No matter how long the episodes are, it might take forever to look at all of them on a disc if I hit "Play All." Thus, I just take the episodes one at a time (or one or two at a time in the case of comedies).

It depends on what kind of mood I'm in. Most of the time I'll just play a certain episode.

TV_Fan · 11-15-2009, 10:09 PM

I usually don't have time to watch all the episodes on a disc at once so I rarely use play all.

gidgetgrape · 11-15-2009, 10:56 PM

I use "play all" for some dramas. Most of the time though, I go to specific episodes for sitcoms.

cajunhillbilly · 11-16-2009, 08:41 AM

I never use Play All. I have an episode list printed out and I go to the individual episode. Like someone else said, I raraely have time to do Play All anyway.

Silly Lily · 11-16-2009, 01:29 PM

I never do the Play All button either, even though with sitcoms I can easily sit down and watch the whole disc at once. Some sets list the original air date and/or a summary for each episode so I like to read those the first time I watch the discs. I guess on multiple viewings I could skip that and do the Play All option.

Play all

catlover79 · 11-16-2009, 01:40 PM

I just hop around and choose one episode, then I'll go back and watch the rest randomly.
