I love it. I'm not an addict because the only one I own is the first season of the O.C. But, with that said, a way to avoid buying them is renting them. Any show that I want to watch, I will put it in my netflix cue and watch it that way. I can watch the season how I want to, AND I'm not out 50 bucks. But, on the real, gilmore girls is the best show to watch in sequence without interruption. It's so much better without ads. That and 24. TV on DVD is the most useful thing ever. I love it.

I grew up right near the Berkeley location, and I always go back and visit when I'm at my parents' house. Until recently, I hadn't owned a tv in about four years. (You can count me in as another psycho Supernatural fan. Yes, I bought a tv just to watch one show.) A couple of years ago, when I lived in Japan, I started buying huge numbers of DVD sets, and I've realized that a lot of shows are just *better* seen at one's own pace on DVD. It's ruined me for normal tv! No one should ever feel bad for wasting money at Amoeba. I grew up right near the Berkeley location, and I always go back and visit when I’m at my parents’ house.

Paul Mon, 19 Mar 2007 22:07:31 +0000 http://thetvaddict.com/2007/03/19/1586/#comment-41270 I actually just reorganized my DVD shelf (which I have proudly on display for all to see) and realized I own $3,180 worth of TV shows on DVD. And, yeah, I scared myself a little. Especially when I remembered I have yet to buy Felicity, NewsRadio, Lost, and so very many other TV favorites of mine. And, my favorite yet most frusterating part of my TV on DVD collection is that I insist on having them all on my shelf in alphabetical order. And, of course, that's not OCD enough for me, I hate separating the series into different stacks. All the Buffy's have to be in one pile and all the Gilmore Girls in another. It's such a challenge, like a giant puzzle of TV greatness. Just thought I'd share my highly unusual troubles. :) Needless to say, I'm with you on the TV on DVD addiction, TV Addict.

When I buy the box sets I try to go for more oldschool collections such as I love Lucey or my fav 90's shows like Pete and Pete. I do love How I Met Your Mother though and i understand buying that. I can't wait till it comes back. They have some leaked footage of the show thats pretty awesome. http://cbsmediagroupftp.com/clips06/koq_90spot_700.wmv http://cbsmediagroupftp.com/clips06/himym_movingday_700.wmv I am a self proclaimed tv addict as well.

I already thought I was the only one. My friends always roll their eyes at me when they find out I bought another TV show on DVD. Especially when I just recently bought the whole set of Six Feet Under without ever having watched an episode before. Actually I spend every single Euro (I'm from Germany) that's left after a month on DVDs even if I have seen the episodes about 1 million times and/or never open the DVDs once after I bought them. Thank you! You just made me feel so much more normal. :) Thank you so much for writing this. I already thought I was the only one.
