I own too many TV shows on DVD.

At least that's what I thought, until I had an epiphany while browsing Amazon today. Here's my epiphany:

I do NOT own too many TV shows on DVD! (amazing how these things can be so simple, isn't it?)

Yes, I own more shows than I can ever watch unless I quit my job and stop sleeping altogether. But I don't buy them to watch them. I collect them. Being able to watch is just an added bonus. So it's perfectly alright that I nought, for example, MacGyver Season 3 more than a year ago and it is still unwrapped. It does not mean that I cannot buy the rest of MacGyver, knowing that the chances that I will ever rewatch all of MacGyver are very very slim.

I feel so much better since I had this little epiphany, and not just because of MacGyver. So many shows to collect!

Here's what I currently want:

Simon & Simon Season 2 - this one I actually want for watching, because I LOVE Simon & Simon, and I haven't watched it since I was, oh, about twelve

Riptide Season 2 and 3 - same as above. It is very likely that I will watch this ocne I buy it.

MacGyver Season 4-7 - I've already watched all of MacGyver once, and frankly, well, I LOVE RDA, but there's a reason why I never watched MacGyver when it was shown on TV. He's way too good for me. So it's rather unlikely that I will ever rewatch all of these eps. But I might enjoy one inbetween other shows.

Bones - Season 1 and 3 (I already own season 2) - now, I hesitated for a long time before I bought any Bones DVDs, because I have all the eps on my HD and I have never once rewatched them. Still, I'm so much in love with the show this season that my wish to rewatch gets stronger. And a girl's gotta be prepared (plus, season 1? really cheap on ebay)

Battlestar Galactica Season 3 and 4 - I haven't made up my mind about this. I loved season 1, then stopped watching somewhere in the middle of season 3 because I just didn't have the time anymore - and wasn't that interested anymore. Now I'd really like to see how the show ends, plus, there' CKR to be drooled at, which is always a good thing. Hmm. I might buy them and spent a few weekends watching, but there's a high probability that I will resell them in the future.

Remington Steele Season 1-5 - I LOVE Remington Steele. Just like I love Simon&Simon Riptide. It's called nostalgia, and I intend to have tons of fun and happiness with it.

Oz - Complete Series - I'm not sure about this. Truth is that I almost inhaled Oz when I first watched it. Truth is also that it sometimes almost choked me with its violence and sex and drugs and not enough rock'n'roll. Oz may be a bit too brutal for me, but I was also fascinated with it - and I haven't dared to rewatch since I first saw it. this would be my chance to watch the eps in order. Unfortunately, there do not seem to be too many good deals for the complete series yet.




So, tell me, what's on your DVD wish list? Do you own "too many" DVDs", or do you just sell the things you don't watch?
