(heres looking at you bumbler 'box-set behemoth' lona-smithe)

The idea of rationing an episode a week....it just plain doesn't work as well as lumping a boxset down at your own speed.... i don't think i've watched a programme at the allocated time since my parents got sky+...but still....watching one episode a week, even at your own time, just doesn't work as well in comparison..

new series of mad men is suffering i think because of this....and also generation kill didn't hit the way it would've if i'd watched on dvd in a couple days

the boxset of the west wing is a joy but i think i would struggle if it was one per week

some bloke highlighted this issue in the guardian the other day and it's just spot on.......'It is one of total immersion - often to the point of compulsion and obsession. It is one of revelation and rediscovery'...... http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2009/mar/06/joy-box-sets) ...

here's a question....did anyone any part of the wire one per week on fx and not the dvd's?....
