Which Do You like Collecting More? TV Shows or Movies on Blu-Ray - Blu-ray Forum

PaulDHolloway · 08-22-2009, 04:37 PM

I am a toss up in between buying blu-ray movies right now or catching up on the ton of season sets of Shows I am behind. Right now I think I will complete all the tv series I haven't finished yet then go collect more movies on blu-ray.

I have to complete my collection of TV Shows for

24 ( need 4 and 5)
The Dead Zone ( need 2 - 6 )
The Jamie Kennedy Experiment (need 2 - 3)
Joey (need Season 2)
Married With Children (need 2 - 11 )
One Tree Hill (need 1 - 4, Season 6)
Punk'd (need Season 2)
The Simpson( need 2 - 8, 10,11,12)
Smallville (need Season 8 blu-ray)

After I catch up with this I will start to collect more movies on blu-ray.

What do you prefer collecting more? TV Shows or Movies on Blu-Ray?

The answer to this should be obvious considering I only have 3 seasons and Band of Brothers on blu-ray. TV shows are expensive enough as it is so I have to really like the show to get the more expensive blu-ray set.

Movies !!

robertc88 · 08-22-2009, 04:41 PM

Movies by a wide margin for me personally.

Edawg72 · 08-22-2009, 04:43 PM

Same for me!!! Unless they'll be on BD soon!

Jim Morrison · 08-22-2009, 04:47 PM

Movies. As much as I enjoy tv shows, most have very little replay value to me.

Movies. So many shows are incomplete. Sopranos, 24 etc.

Moefiz · 08-22-2009, 04:55 PM

I personally like collecting movies more than a TV series..

My movies I'll look at right away where if I get a TV series, it will just sit until I get around to it.

Rob J in WNY · 08-23-2009, 03:03 AM

I'm not a TV watcher, really. Sports are about it, if at all. Complete shows have come and gone and I have completely missed them...lol. I love movies, though, and all my BD selections are movies.

syncguy · 08-23-2009, 05:14 AM

All TV shows that liked are not on blu-ray. I don't think there will be any advantage of watching them on blu-ray either.

MrHT · 12-11-2010, 10:07 PM

I vote for movies because TV shows are too time consuming to watch. It's better to have a lot of shelf space dedicated to a variety of different movies rather than using it all up to buy several seasons of the same show.

The Blu Knight · 12-11-2010, 10:10 PM

The Twilight Zone is the only TV show in my collection, and there are few others on my wishlist, so movies for me.

Tech-UK · 12-12-2010, 03:28 PM

I am pretty picky when it comes to TV shows on blu. The only TV show which I own on blu-ray is Lost. Amazing PQ and AQ.

BluLobsta · 12-12-2010, 03:41 PM

I'm kinda split between the two. For me, it depends on how I feel. Do I just want brief, subtle development of the story or do I want to watch an elaborate production and the time I would need to invest in it? I also find good repeatability in TV series, which runs contrary to what many of you have said, but there's a lot of material there for me to absorb. I would pit a good TV series against a good movie any day, Band of Brothers or Firefly, for instance...

Gaius Marius · 12-12-2010, 03:45 PM

Movies.

TV shows are more of a time comitment, which is something I can't afford all of the time. Plus, many do not have a lot of replay value for me. The ones that I can watch often without being a big time sink (ie: episodic or story arcs < 1 season) are the ones I buy. Typically those are sitcoms (That 70s show, Simpsons, Futurama, Venture Bros), but I have a few 'drama' shows that I like (Rome, Star Trek: TOS, Firefly). I just don't want to feel I have to watch 100+ episodes of a series everytime I want to watch a TV show.

Icedburden · 12-12-2010, 03:51 PM

Movies for me. Although I have been trying to knock out my TV shows lately. Almost finished Firefly (AWESOME SHOW) and just started Mad Men (

). I do have a lot of movies to get through.

Movies. I seldom by TV shows anymore and got rid of some I had on DVD. All I still have are Arrested development, Scrubs, Boomtown and Firefly.

It's just too much of a time investment to rewatch entire series--and I'm mainly into serial dramas like Lost where you really have to do that. I'm not much into watching single favorite episodes etc.

So I just don't get much replay value out of them. Hard enough to find time to watch a couple movies a week these days, much less whole TV seasons/series.

Blu-ray Fanatic · 08-22-2009, 04:41 PM

Movies. I don't see myself rewatching tv shows on dvd or blu-ray. I just wait til they come on tv again.
