What to watch..?

caddymanI’m not sure, but I think we are close to running out of telly for the time being. The only thing currently being broadcast that interests us is Sherlock and with the BBC’s peripatetic scheduling, we nearly missed the start of the second episode of that!
We like to watch entire seasons (or more) in sequence on DVD as there is usually nothing worth watching at any particular time on any particular TV channel (this despite having loads of cable channels). There are some new season releases that we are waiting for to come out on DVD, some already watched, some entirely new to us, but nothing immediate. There are three episodes left of Fringe season 1 and season 2 isn’t due for release until late in September. Even then, it is a case of waiting for it to hit the bargain bins: new release prices are just rude.
There are a few TV series where we are waiting for the producers to collect them up in complete run sets but again, even if they did it tomorrow, it would be a couple of years before a DVD company admits to itself that having sold 50 copies of its production run of 2,000,000 that maybe cutting the price from £200 to say, £50 might just help clear their shelves.
There are a few series that have already crossed the threshold into acceptable pricing, but we either already have them, or they are complete shite. Sometimes both.
It looks as though we will be rewatching Angel as it is a while since either Furtle or I have watched it. Then perhaps Babylon 5 and then, with any luck, I may be able to convince her to watch some Stargate SG-1, or I may just watch it again myself. Other than that, though, all our other collections have been watched too recently to warrant another viewing just yet.
We have run out of telly. I suppose this is how you get into gardening.
