DVD Boxed Sets

My copy of the Battlestar Galactica Season 3 DVD boxed set just arrived. WOO! Having the whole series on DVD is great. You can watch episodes whenever you want, you don't have to wait a week to find out what happens next. You can spend even spend an entire day in bed, incredibly hungover, watching a particularly crap season of 24 when your girlfriend is away for the weekend if you want.

Obviously this is nothing new, but I read something recently that said that some networks in the US were even starting to put shows on twice a week as people were getting so used to having a series on DVD and being able to watch episodes whenever they want.

That said, the DVD boxed set is nearly dead. Soon we'll pick up any episode of a show online or download it through our digital TV boxes at the touch of a button and watch them whenever we want. There are plenty of services doing this kind of thing at the moment, some better than others, and it won't be long until it hits the mainstream.

I hope it'll mean we get more quality TV as if we can get any show at any time, we'd be able to always pick something good, and never watch the crap but people really love the crap. Never mind.
