Title: TV on DVD (Top grossing sets)
Post by: Rman on October 29, 2007, 12:32:21 PM: (http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2007/09/23/business/2007DVDgraphic.jpg)

Nothing really surprising here. I adore TV on DVD. I can't watch normal TV myself. There is never anything on and most of it just plain sucks. However, with sets you can control what you watch, when you watch it, and at what frequency. I love marathoning though sets on a rainy day.

My Collection:
House
Weeds

Pretty small but these things are not cheap. I really want to get into the HBO shows.

Edit:

Here is a link to the corresponding article.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/24/business/media/24dvd.html?_r=1&ref=media&oref=slogin?8dpc

They talk about lagging DVD sales of late and how TV on DVD sets have been mostly immune from the lagging sales on the format.

Post by: border on October 29, 2007, 01:09:44 PM: Kind of interesting -- I'd like to see how many copies Firefly has sold. It obviously doesn't stand a chance against shows that have 10 seasons' worth of sets out there, but I wonder how it would fare against the bestselling seasons of each of these shows.

Sucks that Futurama couldn't match the increasingly useless and unfunny Family Guy.

I mean, somehow women saying cock got made into a whole show.

I like how it ended with Carrie and Big, but I still love Aidan.

Post by: TVC15 on October 29, 2007, 04:06:56 PM: Sex and the City? Really? I knew it was popular, but *that* popular? Same with Friends.

I guess that just goes to show the power of having a product that is easily marketable towards the female demographic. The chicks like to spend the money.

Family Guy ranking so hightly is the most depressing thing on that list.

Aidan was perfect and he didn't deserve to be hurt. Why couldn't she just have the decency to tell him the truth sooner? Everyone knew how she felt about Big. It made me so mad. I watched the episode where Aidan finds out twice! I was soooo pissed at Carrie that it took me 3 days to watch the next episode because I hated Carrie so much.

Family Guy is a stupid piece of shit.

Post by: Bloodwake on October 29, 2007, 05:29:25 PM: TV on DVD:

I currently own

24 (because it's basically the best show ever made or conceived by anyone ever) all 5 seasons available
Lost seasons 1+2
The Office (American) season 2
House seasons 1+2

What I really can't wait for is TV on BLU-RAY

LOST SEASON 3 is going to look FUCKING AWESOME. I can't wait to have that Blu-Ray set. And from the looks of it, the Blu-Ray set is going to be in a box like the DVDs so the spines match. I'm also getting the sixth season of 24, though I'm not as excited about it for the obvious reasons, but I'm hoping that when me and brandonh83 have our DVD release 24 hour viewing of the entire series that I will enjoy it better. Looking back on it, I think Season 6 is just a victim of Lost season 2 syndrome, where it's awful watching it on television but much better watching it on DVD.

Post by: bud on October 30, 2007, 10:58:14 AM: the office us isn't really a keeper, imo. after watching episode for 2 or 3 times it loses its charm as opposed to, for example, seinfeld. almost every episode--sans the ones from the last season maybe--is, like, infinitely rewatchable.

band of brothers :bow.

X-Files - Season 2

I would buy some of the Seinfeld DVDs, but I watch the episodes on syndication all the time anyway.
