Would You Buy Any Of These TV Shows In BD/HD DVD?
I am just curious about the interest in these would be in high def.
I wanna know.
I don't want to hear anything about the format war, just vote.

Nope. None of those... Already own the Buffy, X-Files and Firefly and have little interest in Miami Vice. Which, btw, why include that one? Seems to me a TV show a couple decades old wouldn't be worth getting in HD (IMO).
For me, if I was getting any TV series in HD, it would be current one's (that I already don't own). I don't mind double dipping on some movies but TV series would be awfully expensive...

Maybe X-Files before it turned into a pile of shit. Most shows are made better with continuity, this one was an exception to the rule. The standalone episodes are the best by a longshot.
At any rate, TV shows will be the last thing I convert to HD (if at all!). The prices are way too high.

Voted for all except Miami Vice (not a fan).
Firefly seems like a no-brainer for Blu-Ray.
Not sure how effects were rendered on Buffy and X-Files, but if they were done on film instead of video, I think there could be a benefit from going to HD, especially since they're both darkly lit shows most of the time.

Shows that are currently broadcasting in hi-def may get a nod from me (I picked up Smallville season six for that reason), but older shows will not. Regular DVD will do fine for those. BTW, I voted for Firefly even though I have the standard DVD set.
