Well I have a collection of wrestling dvds, some disney flicks, but I have several Sesame street dvds. Mostly the old school dvds, and a few of the SS christmas dvds, for me its just the nostalgia of a more innocent time in my life.

I don't see why not if you're a fan of the series 'cause you know more than likely you will enjoy any episode you watch. Unless you know the whole series verbatim you can pop any episode in and enjoy it just as much the second time as the first and have a nostalgia trip along the way. More so with comedies I'd think instead of the cop shows. That's my guess, I only own one series of television.

I could never understand the facination with the SAW movies. I can accept that people will buy a copy of each sequel (although i gave up after the second one), but why in the world do people buy every single edition that comes out for each one? Even a new cover will prompt some people to rush out and buy them. I just dont get it.

I usually buy movies and TV series that just aren't available to watch any other way. Criterion has a place in my collection as does TV series from the 60's that I haven't seen for so long I barely remember them, like The Prisoner, Addams Family and alot of Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation series. Have a decent collection of silent movies also. Do I need to own box sets of The Simpsons, South Park or Family Guy? No. They are funny shoes and I like them but they can also be seen at least a dozen times a week on cable and broadcast TV, so best to save my cash for the hard to find stuff and be my own program director once in a while.

I like tv shows because I can sit down and watch a 20-23 episode while I eat. Or just before I go to bed. Sometimes I'll put a show on in the background while I clean or cook, etc. I don't have much time to sit around and watch movies, but my tv shows get a lot of watching.
