I got my copy of the Flintstones: Season 1 last Friday, and so far, I'm about half-way through disc one (I'm rotating each episode with an episode of Scooby Doo). One thing I've noticed on both boxed sets is that the theme songs, while catchy and fun as always, get old after about three episodes.
My idea for TV on DVD sets is to insert a chapter break immediately following the theme song. If there's stuff before the theme song, you can watch that and once the theme song begins, you can just press "Skip" and get right into the show. Neither of these two boxed sets I mentioned include ANY chapter breaks, which is one of the biggest flaws in them--but I can ignore that, since when I sit down to watch an episode, I'm going to watch the whole thing, not just about 10 minutes and then finish it off later. I've tried fast-forwarding, but then I end up missing the first few seconds of the show and I have to rewind it, which ends up taking more time than watching the theme song.
I can live with this, it's no big deal--but it would be convenient to be able to skip theme songs over.
