Subject: Has TV on DVD rekindled your love for certain shows ?
Written By: whistledog on 11/04/07 at 12:23 am
Now that you can get many great TV shows both past and present on DVD, has there been any that you've been watching that totally made you love a show all over again ?
4 big ones for me ...
Benson. On the channels I get, Benson hasn't been in reruns since the very early 90s, so watching the S1 set was a total throwback for me. The way Benson and Inga made snappy remarks to each other.. i'd totally forgotten how funny that was. I swear I haven't laughed so hard in years
St. Elsewhere. A show I remember from the 80s, but not one that I watched as I was too young to understand it at the time. Watching it now .. i loved the plot lines and the cast of characters. I was really sad when I finished watching the S1 set. I want more!
Silver Spoons. The ultimate sitcom for kids in the 80s, and another one I hadn't seen in many many years. Watching the S1 set, I felt like a kid all over again
Adventures of the Gummi Bears. Disney's first animated series, and still the best! Again, another one I hadn't seen, this one probably since it actually went off the air. Total blast from the past on this one!

Yes...most definitely! I look forward to different retro shows to come out on DVD. When I watch them..it brings back memories from my younger years.

Watching retro shows on DVD remind me how much I used to love watching television. I'm so glad so many of them are available on DVD. :)

None since most came before my time :D
Honestly, Looney Tunes (I know they're from the early/mid 20th century, shown in theatres, and aimed towards adults) since I now have a new respect for them and uncut since most I've seen were colorized or edited on tv (for Un PC reasons ::) ).
Most tv shows/cartoons I grew up on doesn't stand the test of time, but that's another topic :P

Yeah- Kate and Allie... I knew I liked it but I forgot I loved it.... mostly tho- syndicated TV has me longing for the DVD releases of shows because I want to see what jokes were cut out!

'Kate and Allie' totally took me back also. The first 4 seasons (released in Canada only) are out and as I watched them, I totally loved this show all over again. True friends can last a lifetime
