I have written before that although I watch many shows I watch very little when it actually airs. I like nothing better than watching an entire season in a week or two (or sometimes shorter) period. That is why I am still trying to get through season 2 of Heros and am still on season 4 of Lost.
I love TV ON DVD. Even though I think it may have already hit its peak, I am going to buy as long as I can. I know many download, or watch online but I cannot get into watching on the computer. I like watching on my big tv with a remote where I can replay my favorite scenes over and over.
I love finding a show I never saw once when they aired only to fall in love with the DVD's. I would never have seen shows like Gilmore Girls, Dawson, Roswell, Buffy, Once and Again, Dallas, Maude and many other of my now favorite shows if it were not for DVD's. This new year (thanks to my family and friends knowing tv on dvd is a perfect gift for me) I am beginning or restarting relationships with Weeds, Designing Women, The Wire and the last couple of seasons of OZ.
Got to give out a special mention to one of my favorite shows released on DVD this past year, Sordid Lives.
I love me some Jason Dottley but my only way to watch Sordid Lives was through the net. Believe me I was first in line when the DVD was released and loved every minute of it. Dottley and Del Shores created one of the most unique and enjoyable hours of television. They also assembled one of tv's most eclectic casts. The DVD also gave us the opportunity to see more of Dottley than we could have dreamed of. It is a shame that we will not get more seasons of the terrific show but Jason tells me there are Sordid Lives movies on the way! Can’t wait!
