I wish that once a serialized TV show has run through a full season, the studios would release the DVDs of that season, immediately - or at least quickly enough to give the people who've been watching the show on DVD a chance to catch-up in time for the next season. HBO timed their <em>Sopranos<\/em> DVD releases correctly; they came out in the middle of the (long) gaps between seasons - you could easily catch up before the next season started. On the other hand, SciFi did it wrong with <em>Battlestar Galactica<\/em>; they released the season 3 DVDs in April 08, at the same time they started showing season 4 on TV. You can't catch up.<\/p>\n<p>See, when you <i>can<\/i> catch up, and do, you're much more likely to watch the next season as it's being shown on TV. It's why we spent the extra $10\/mo to get HBO when the last two or three seasons of the <em>Sopranos<\/em> came out - we were all caught-up, the new shows were starting, and because we could watch them along with everyone else, we did. That's much nicer than trying to avoid spoilers for six months (as if we <em>could've<\/em> avoided spoilers for the <em>Sopranos<\/em> finale). But on the flip side, SciFi's stupid scheduling is why I just spent two days downloading the 4<sup>th<\/sup> season of <em>Battlestar Galactica<\/em> from LimeWire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Know what I wish?
