When I sit down to watch my favourite TV shows on DVD, I’d
like to watch all of the episodes on the disc. I don’t want to have to tell the
disc that yes, I want to watch the next episode right after the current one. As
in, don’t set up the disc to take me back to the home screen at the end of an
episode. When I’m tired of watching a disc, I’ll stop it of my own accord.
And here’s another bugbear: don’t time the episodes individually,
rather time the disc. I know the average DVD of a TV show is 2h40m, but I don’t
always remember how many episodes I’ve watched, or what the last episode of the
disc is. And I like to know how comfortable I can get while watching; sometimes
I like to lie on the couch while I watch, and it’s irritating to have to get up
five minutes later to change a DVD.
Oh, and another thing – if there are deleted scenes as DVD
extras, please put them into the episodes from which they originate, and not as
a long stream of unrelated clips. I mean, it was important enough to film and
edit, so surely you want that hard work to be appreciated.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to optimal
viewing in future.
