W_L Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 In the year 2035, I can see myself digging through an old box of my stuff with a partner and a kid. We find my old TV series. My future Partner: WL, what the heck were you watching? Half of this stuff is in Portuguese or Japanese My kid: Daddy, what are these shiny boxes? Me ignoring my partner for our kid like usual : Well, son, those are Blue-Ray DVD for Daddy's TV series My Kid: Why didn't you just watch it online like everyone else? ----------------------------- Seriously that could be all of you too, the move towards streaming video has made DVDs/Blue-rays so anachronistic. At this rate, they'll become as old fashioned and comedy ready as Beta Trax and VHS. TV series are now available on Hulu, Amazon, and Netflix; plus all the major networks and cale companies offer apps for tablet/smartphone viewing. I just have a few TV series that I bought with money (I am not admitting anything illegal with that comment ) on blue ray and DVD, but I feel old: The 4400 (Before there was Heroes, there was The 4400) Babylon 5 (Best Sci-Fi Series) Battlestar Galactica (New Series, less "Mormon in Space" more "We're all Fracked!") Full Metal Alchemist (Best Anime Ever!) Junjou Romantica (Series 1 and 2, Say Yay! For gay anime!) House MD (For the man that likes subtle bromance) One Tree Hill (I'm that kind of guy, The OC could go to hell) Simpsons (Season 1-14, basically before they started sucking) The Civil War, narrated by Ken Burns (I'm classy too) West Wing Presidential Edition (What? I actually enjoy some episodes, sue me) I am not that bad in terms of TV shows, movies I am worse as a pack rat collector. Anyone want to bring their full TV series collections out of the closet Don't worry, we won't judge, much 1
Drew Espinosa Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I don't really collect tv series books on the other hand... Anyways, I only own two series on DVD. The first is BBC's Planet Earth and the second is HBO's Game of Thrones Seasons 1-3. 1
Site Administrator Valkyrie Posted September 16, 2015 Site Administrator Posted September 16, 2015 I don't have too many TV series on DVD. My brother bought me the entire collection of Greatest American Hero for Christmas a few years ago. My best friend has an absolute ton of series on DVD, so I usually just end up binge watching series with her when I visit, so I don't have to buy my own. lol 1

Defiance19 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Are they making another season of In The Flesh? ... I'll find it somewhere if they are. Doubtful... 1
Mikiesboy Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Doubtful... I think I just read that ... unless netflix or someone picks it up... fingers crossed. I am in love with the Emmett Scanlan ... in anything. Don't tell my husband. I think he knows though from the drooling.... 1
Drew Espinosa Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Xena: Warrior Princess, Complete - (You said no judging!!) I ain't judging... I am just you for having the courage to say so 1

The first is BBC's Planet Earth and the second is HBO's Game of Thrones Seasons 1-3. I'm surprised at you Drew. Surely a math aficionado like yourself would have the complete (6 seasons) set of Numbers on DVD. I would think a math genius using math to solve crimes for the FBI would be right up your alley. The "whiteboard" equations alone are something to behold.

Well you see Reader, I usually spend my money on books rather than movies/tv series In total, I have about fifty fictions (not counting what I bought via kindle) and about twenty non-fiction books So I may not have enough to spend on some of my favorite shows, sue me 2
Daddydavek Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I have too many DVD movies and concert DVD's to count, but I don't really have any series although I have given box sets of some TV series as presents as they were on some nieces and nephews Christmas wish lists. I also have a couple hundred of them on video tape including many of the classic Disney which we acquired when my kids were little. My latest acquisition was a special on Amazon of Universal's 100th Anniversary Collection which is a box set of 25 movies on DVD. Included are Schindler's List, Animal House, E.T., To Kill a Mockingbird, Jaws, Dracula, Spartacus, Jurassic Park, The Sting, Fields of Dreams and more. It was one of their daily bonus deals with 25 movies for $25 which I thought was pretty sweet. I stream movies and series on my Amazon account too.
Suvitar Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I have bought some TV series, all BBC (one ITV) I think. Very British list Downton Abbey Call the Midwife Torchwood Jeeves and Wooster Sherlock Last Tango in Halifax Vicar of Dibley North & South Bleak House The Ice House Brideshead Revisited Murder most English Pride and Prejudice The Mrs Bradley Mysteries Wives and Daughters The Paradise Keeping Up Appearances
Headstall Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I have every season of Supernatural Oh, and Suvitar... I loved Torchwood... John Barrowman (Captain Jack) rocked! 1
JamesSavik Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) I've got B5 and Battlestar(2003). I pull them out for snow days or when I'm home sick and bored. Stuff that I haven't seen listed are War at Sea, 21 Jump Street (original) and 24. Don't buy retail. You can bet this stuff cheap on E-bray. Edited September 16, 2015 by jamessavik
DynoReads Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I have one season of Rumpole of the Bailey on VHS (and no way to watch it) and one season of Monarch of the Glen on DVD. I'm a fan of subtle British humor. 1
Suvitar Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I have every season of Supernatural Oh, and Suvitar... I loved Torchwood... John Barrowman (Captain Jack) rocked! John Barrowman rocks in everything he does I've flown three times to England to see him in a concert and every time it's been worth it 1
Headstall Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 John Barrowman rocks in everything he does I've flown three times to England to see him in a concert and every time it's been worth it Wow... that's dedication... he's in the TV series Arrow now, as Malcolm Merlin. 1
Suvitar Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Wow... that's dedication... he's in the TV series Arrow now, as Malcolm Merlin. Any excuse to travel to the UK I haven't seen Arrow yet, probably not really my sort of series but I look into it one day. 1
Headstall Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Any excuse to travel to the UK I haven't seen Arrow yet, probably not really my sort of series but I look into it one day. Yeah, it's a little over the top... but the scenery is great 1
