I'm sure in a few years, after the current stream of fantastic shows runs dry, things will even out a bit.

TVDVD by far for me. WHile I have a few movies I can watch over and over (Fight Club, Seven, T2, LotR, ect.) I cannot compare with how many times I have watched my TV stuff (Family Guy, Futurama, and King of the Hill have been viewed over in entirety at least five times) and I don't even have Invader Zim, Seinfeld, or Kids in the Hall yet...

DVD Talk Limited Edition
I find myself rewatching tv shows way more than movies, but not entire runs, just certain eps. Take my Angel boxsets for instance. There are certain eps that I'll watch once or twice and never again. Then there are those eps that I'll watch dozens of times. But like someone said earlier, I try to only buy movies that I find rewatchable and not just stuff I want to see once or twice (I save those for Netflix).

movies in general have more rewatch value to me.
but once they put the entire season of Boy Meets World on DVD, that will change
other than that there are a couple TV shows I could see me watching over and over again. I would love a Fresh Prince of Bel Air DVD set, more Saved By The Bell sets, and a What's Happenin' set.

Movies still get the most replay for me. That's because I only own Twilight Zone Collection & Outer Limits sets. For me, I'd rather buy concert films instead of tv shows. Of course, YMMV.

DVD Talk Special Edition
Movies. I have yet to rewatch a TV DVD and I have unwatched episodes of most shows I can put in whenever if I get the urge to see one. I usually only watch one or two episodes of a show at any time.
Concert video DVDs, on the other hand, get a lot of replays.

I have my movies in alphabetical order so I watch them in order to make sure that I watch them all. I only watch like a movie a week but I pop in Dead Zone Season One, Son of the Beach Volume 1, or one of my Twilight Zone Collection about every other day. It's a lot easier to find time to watch TV shows.
