Do you actually "re-watch" your series on Blu-ray ?

I'm sure some do buy the shows to catch-up before the new series starts.

Do you re-watch movies? Yes, why? The answer is pretty much the same for people who re-watch TV shows. Because they enjoy it.

I re-watch every series I love like Heroes it's like completely another feeling watching every episode back to back and to be able to pause and to watch without advertisement.

I do prefer the sitcoms which end in each episode (I don't have to watch episodes in order) like simpsons or ugly betty. These are good to watch over and over. OK, to be honest, I love watching Hannah Montana, Suite Life but I hate that it doesn't have season boxset. I watched these 16 episodes I had like a thousand times over already.

I buy them, but I dont watch them till I get the urge. This could be months, or even years. I'm starting to get the itch to watch Firefly again because I haven't watched it in a year now.

[TwYsTeD]

not right away i did rewatch Lost season 3 right before i watched any of this season's episodes..

[sinister184]

Ive rewatched episodes but not enitre seaons. the only ones i have are Weeds season 1+2+(3 on pre-order)

I generally avoid my favorite shows while their on and wait for the release on DVD/Blu.

Then, just before the next season comes out, I generally rewatch every previous season, just so I am completely caught up.

[Hendunesia]

I plan on buying Lost when they release seasons 1 & 2. I've followed the shows on Standard Def TV, but cant wait to rewatch the series in 1080p!

I own every 24 season on DVD, and if they ever release in Blu-Ray... I will buy and rewatch.

Same for Heroes.

[WickyWoo]

After I watch a set, it might be years before I watch it again. Typically I'll marathon a show.

[Blu-Style]

I re-watched "Weeds" on Blu, because it has been a long time since I saw the two seasons, and the first time I had to see it dubbed...

It was so HILARIOUS in its original english language!
Season 3 can come now.

+1 to the T

I never watch any series on broadcast TV. I cant stand the commercials and I cant stand waiting a week for the next episode. I wait, yes sometimes 12 months until the DVD or now Blu is avaialable. I enjoy watching the episodes back-to-back with no interuptions. Commercials take me out of the show. Its more like reading a book, so you set your own pace.

I have done this with, Deadwood, 24, Carnivale, Prison Break, LOST, Veronica Mars, ROME, Entourage, Weeds, Damages, Huff and The Riches.

[BigFoot]

I own a lot of TV sets on DVD/BD (120+) so yeah, I do enjoy re-watching TV on DVD/BD.

[Marcusarilius]

Firefly will be my first BD series, which I WILL watch many times over. Need the X-Files series soon please.

[Original-6ix]

i recently picked up prison break s1 on blu, and that was incredible to watch again, it was a really good transfer and i did pick up little things that i missed the first time around, so ya i love tv shows on blu, just wished there were more like the sopranos and the x-files, i could start watching the entire series now just in time to catch the new movie in july.

Yeah I'm re-watching the X-Files as we speak in preparation for the movie.
In answer to the original question, a series like the X-Files is a great ride every time you watch it. It has cool MOTW episodes and a great series of mythology episodes that require multiple viewings to decode. Noe, for a show like L&O or Friends, I don't get buying those on DVD or BD. Even something like 24 are probably only good for a single run through. I am waiting for Curb Your Enthusiasm on BD. That's the funniest f***ing show I have ever seen!
But I agree that most series are not worth buying on any kind of disc unless you have never seen them, like Twin Peaks maybe.

[GORT]

I re-watch tv shows they are called Re-Runs sorry I could never see the point in spending money for something that you can see over and over again on tv.

[mrgreed202]

I re watched all of lost (on dvd) and I have to say, the second time watching it was just as great as the first time! you see a lot more. yeah you do know whats going to happen, but you forget a lot of the small conflicts and things that make the show so great. I will def buy the box set when it comes out on blu .

Typically, this describes me as well on 1-hour shows... but I have a tendency to re-watch comedies quite often.

My DVD sets of "The Andy Griffith Show", "The Simpsons", "Frasier", "King Of The Hill", "Arrested Development", etc., have gotten MAJOR re-viewing.

So far, Blu-ray hasn't really released any comedies (though "Weeds" might be considered one)... but when they do, I'll pick them up!

I also like to buy sets to catch up on series I've missed ("Mad Men" for example) as I've gotten hooked on a lot of shows that way ("Supernatural", "Smallville", "The O.C.", "Everwood", "Angel", "Firefly", etc.).

Why are you sorry? Some people just like to buy the series on DVD. I only own X-Files and Curb Your Enthusiasm. As far as X-Files goes, it's cool to see the progression and evolution of the characters as they uncover the vast conspiracy that our government has perpetrated. As for Curb, well if you've seen the show I don't need to tell you it's funny no matter how many times you watch it.
As far as sitcoms, I get what you're saying. Friends, That 70's Show, The SImpsons, all those allow you to drop into the series at any point and not miss a beat, hence the convenience of TNT, FX, and TBS for re-runs.
In the end I can't think of any series except maybe Millennium and Twin Peaks, that I would want to own.
