I am curious to know how others approach watching TV series they purchased. In the past, I tended to be able to keep up with my new DVDs and watch whatever was most recently purchased.
However, I went through a bit of a surge in my purchases this past year. Whether it was an abundance of good deals or that I discovered a new interest in TV shows (especially older ones). In any case, I managed to add the following to my collection:
Twilight Zone
Outer Limits
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
Time Tunnel
Rawhide
Have Gun Will Travel
Gunsmoke
Big Valley
Wild Wild West
M Squad
Kung Fu...and more.
The problem is that I'm obviously interested in all of them or I wouldn't have purchased. However, as I start watching one, in the back of my mind I'm curious about others.
A long setup to a question, but how do you approach picking what to watch when you have a variety of unwatched items your itching to get into?
- Do you get into a groove and try to watch one from start to finish before moving to the next, or
- Do you setup a pattern across several shows, or just pick what looks interesting as each evening comes. Basically, switching back and forth watching a few of each at a time?
I've tried both and haven't come across a satisfying approach yet, so I'm curious how others do it, or would approach it.
