inspired by the how do u read thread

how do u watch a tv series?

do u wait patiently 4 each weekly episode, or do u wait til the dvd is out and watch the lot in one sitting.

ive just watched the entire 1st season of Dexter in 2 days.

i couldnt watch it on tv as it is only shown on pay tv in australia- and omg- im so glad i didnt have to wait each week 4 a new episode.
4 dvd releases


so, how do u watch ur favourite series?

If I like the show I try to catch it when its first showing. I tend to get bored with DVD's cause I don't have enough time or the attention to watch one after the other. Plus by then other people who are interested in the same shows have already left me in the dust.

side note: how CBS is going to show Dexter on regular old tv should be interesting.

is it going to CBS

maybe it will make free to air tele here- eventually

but it would be watered down

how many seasons have shown in the US?

I think season 3 is in the works or gearing up.

CBS is/was going to show Dexter cause of the writers strike, I don't know if they will follow thru with it now that the strike is over. Even if they start I doubt they will show all the episodes once other shows are back in production and ready to air.

season 1 only just got released on dvd here this week

but at least i know ive got a least one more season (maybe 2 ) to look forward to.

I love Dexter
i wasnt sure how the series would be after reading the books- but it was just as good - well worth the wait- and much cheaper to buy than signing up 4 a years subscription to pay tv- which the rugrat would commandeer anyway

In the last couple of years, I mostly watch them on DVD. There are a few things that I can commit to memory to sit down and watch on a weekly basis, but there are very few.

Maybe I should see if I can tape them for u not that I watch that show...either that or come over to my house

Watch it weekly then if I really loved it, buy the boxset.

Naked

With 24 I just wait till the box set comes out.Then I try to watch two episodes a night but end up watching 4 or 5.

I watch the series weekly and if I really love it,I get the boxset and watch it all over again.

double post

Since Charmed is already over and it's the only show I watch, I watch it online

The three series that I've consumed were all on DVD....



....and yes, after the aforementioned testosterone boosters, this one too.....



...I rather watch on DVD because there's no commercials and I don't run the risk of having to play catch up if I miss an aired episode.....

i got a non prince reply from sexxydancer

I watch most stuff weekly, though I'm falling into the habit of saving certain shows for weekend marathons when time permits (Daily Show/Colbert, Real Time w/ Bill Maher)...

I've only bought a few series on DVD, most of which I watched when they aired but I just LOVED them: Sex in the City, Six Feet Under, Arrested Development, Dave Chappelle, In Living Color, The Chris Rock Show, Mr. Show, The Bernie Mac Show, Action...

I didn't know Dexter had a second season already, I just watched the first season on dvd over the last few weeks - it's creepy as hell but I love it, how is dude kinda sexy now?? Gotta rent season 2, looks like Showtime finally figured out how to make a decent show (I never got into Weeds for some reason)... Has anyone seen Californication? How is it?

I also wanna buy Rescue Me on dvd, that's a good show.

what an odd question!

i sit in front of my tv, i open my ears & eyes & i do nothing but... watching.

why do u ask? do u have trouble watching tv series? maybe u should stop tryin' 2 watch 'em with ur eyes closed or from another room than the room the tv's in

I'm finally getting in on Heroes.....I was in Iraq when all the hoopla started, so I didn't catch it from the beginning.....now that I've got the set....it's on!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tv shows on DVD.... I watch compusively until I finish a series. It's like reading a book, but more expensive and more time consuming.
