Television episodes were never meant to be viewed in rapid-fire order

Television episodes were never meant to be viewed in rapid-fire order. "Mad Men" often ends with its lead character, Don Draper, stranded impotently in the gloomy, underlit front hallway of his suburban home. Viewed once a week,Traffic Light Season 1 DVD Box Set this is a weighty image of existential angst. Viewed three or four times in a row, it makes you want to scream, "Buy some light bulbs!" "Curb Your Enthusiasm" plotlines are actually all the same plotline, which you'd never have guessed until you watched six episodes straight. And four episodes back-to-back of the lachrymose "Battlestar Galactica" will convince you that the show should have been retitled "Crybabies in Space."

Television should be a glorious time waster, but being given three seasons of "Lost" on DVD is like being given a prison sentence.

Box sets have transformed television from light entertainment into homework.Grey’s Anatomy S07

There are treasures to be found, to be sure, and DVD is a fine way to preserve great television for future generations, but I would suggest that we take a hard look in the mirror and ask: Is the arrival of "Jake and the Fat Man" on DVD a sign that perhaps we've over-preserved? Isn't a 42-disc set of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" taking things just a bit too far? The DVD industry, like Dr. Frankenstein, has the power to bring the dead back to life, but we should think twice before meddling with the forces of nature.dexter season 5 dvd

When I visited my father-in-law after he had recovered, I asked him if he had ever watched any of those DVD boxed sets. "I hid them in the closet," he said, "and watched golf." As he spoke I noticed that he had color in his cheeks, that his eyes were clearer, his hair more luxurious, and his teeth gleaming and strong.
