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

Blu-Style · 05-12-2008, 01:45 PM

Hi,

I´m talking about series like "LOST", "Prison Break" etc.

They all run on TV, and are available on Blu-ray.

So, in my case I watched every episode/season so far.
And I would only buy it for the sake of having it.

( I guess I wouldn´t even unpack it.

)
sure, PQ would be amazing, but I know all episodes, so why re-watch them ?

How do you handle it ?

Watch it on TV, and then again on Blu ?

This is madness...!

dmxoneiuv · 05-12-2008, 02:00 PM

i re-watch them again after a while, you end up noticing new things everytime you watch it that you might've missed the first time around...sometimes i'll watch them with the commentary instead...comedies are always re-watchable for a good laugh.

Blu-Style · 05-12-2008, 02:05 PM

Yeah, comedies are re-watchable, but hard stuff like LOST where you know whats going to happen and know how this will end. Hm... I don´t know...

but the optional commentary is a good tip.

What i don't understand is people who clamor for Law & Order on blu, or even DVD for that matter. I love the show, and have seen almost every episode, but all its versions are on 5 different channels, 24 hours a day. Don't know why you'd need your own copy at the moment..

savage1984 · 05-12-2008, 02:08 PM

Shows like LOST... interesting. I love LOST. I loved watching the whole first season on DVD over only a few days with a couple of friends. That was fun! I guess rewatching could be fun too, if it's with friends. Otherwise, I don't see myself sitting through it all...

I haven't had the chance to "rewatch" a tv series on blu-ray yet. I do own Prison Break, but I haven't gotten to it yet, because I have other movies to watch. But I have rewatched my TV shows on dvd, so I don't see that changing for blu-ray.

Bluoholic · 05-12-2008, 02:28 PM

I will when I get a chance to own Heroes on blus. To answer in short, yes, I would rewatch a series if it's the one that I want to see on blu.

i have both seasons of Rome on DVD and i have watched both of them like 4 times and when it hits bluray i will watch it like 5 more times just for the cinematography alone!

cathexist · 05-12-2008, 03:32 PM

Planet Earth is the only "series" that I currently have on blu-ray.

If I had The Simpsons, Scrubs, Futurama, or a couple other of my favorite shows on blu-ray, they would be re-watched constantly.

I am definitely re-watching Firefly as soon as it is released. I've watched that series twice all the way through so far...

ClaytonMG · 05-12-2008, 03:35 PM

The only series I have is Weeds and I probably will rewatch them someday. Now if they'd release 30 Rock, The Office or Arrested Development, absolutely I'd rewatch them.

SDon1969 · 05-12-2008, 03:36 PM

Picked up the Lost & Prison Break blu sets due to the great reviews & because they are the only two TV shows I really watch. To be honest, I still have not had the time to go back & rewatch them, though. Found them both at a great price (30-something each) so I could not resist.

DeathByAsh'aman · 05-12-2008, 03:36 PM

I always rewatch comedy series. But any of the series that are out now on blu ray id rather shove my arm into a meat grinder then watch them once through.

Damn, forgot about Planet Earth...

I do have that series, and love it!

Mxr5150 · 05-12-2008, 03:34 PM

I rewatch tv seasons I own quite often (though they are on DVD) like
Sopranos and South Park.

Lucy Diamond · 05-12-2008, 03:43 PM

I primarily buy a series for the freedom of being able to watch certain episodes
over and over again.

But, yes, I watch TV on DVD/ Blu Ray often.

unjichan · 05-12-2008, 03:56 PM

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.

dieheart · 05-12-2008, 03:56 PM

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 · 05-12-2008, 04:30 PM

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

sinister184 · 05-12-2008, 04:35 PM

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

JonFox18 · 05-12-2008, 04:58 PM

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.
