When you watch TV DVDs... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

do you pick out an episode to watch from the main menu? Or just choose "PLAY ALL" and watch all the episodes?

I choose them at random, I never use the play all feature.

It depends on the type of show. If the show is a very serialized drama, I will click play all. If I'm watching a sitcom on DVD I tend to watch my favorite episodes right away when I get the DVD's.

Always airdate order when it's a new season of a show I just purchased. Hopefully I will get to do it again when

Season 7 of the Jeffersons is released

Season 9 of Three's Company

Season 3 of George Lopez

I rarely use the play all function. I like to check the display and see how many minutes of an episode is left. You can't do that with the play all function.

It depends on the show. Some shows are OK to watch in airdate order, others I prefer to watch in production order. Leave It To Beaver and Get Smart are a couple shows I like to watch in production order.

I tend to follow the episode order on a DVD, but I like to read an episode's title/description before I play it, so I select episodes individually from the menu...

I play them one at a time because I like to know the title of the episode, but I have used that "Play All" feature on my Seinfeld DVD's.

I always pick an episode and I usually watched them in order. I've never used the "play all" feature.
