I spent yesterday cataloguing the DVDs1.
Given that I self-identify as a non-acquisitive person, there are a lot of them. An embarrassing number of them.
They are now in neat stacks beside the table (TV, film, Bluray) tripping us up and waiting for some cleared shelf space. I fear they will still be there in January – cleared shelf space is a possibility, but it involves the ladder and the loft and that looks to be too much of a chore right now.
Whatever happens to them, I have set aside a few to get me through the post-Christmas period of bleagh:
- Breaking Bad – Season 1 (will have to start from the beginning again, as we only got through a couple of episodes before starting Band of Brothers, which took over)
- Chuck – Season 1 (and 2, if my Amazon order ever arrives)
- Curb Your Enthusiasm – Season 6
- Flight of the Conchords – Season 2 (again, watched a couple of early eps so will start over)
- Homicide – Seasons 1 and 2
- Lost – Season 1 (I think I’m in denial that the final season is about to start, so this will help extend the Lost love)
Just to break up some of the series marathons, there will be various No Reservations episodes and some People Like Us.
Who knows when we’ll finish The World At War…

1. I was confined to the flat yesterday as our Foxtel upgrade was booked in for “between noon and 5.00pm”. And, yes, of course he came at 4.35.
Different strokes for different folk
I’ll be watching the various series of
Yes Minister (the ALL TIME greatest tv serial ever!)
To the Manor born
The Good life
Dads Army
Keeping up Appearances
the 3 Stooges (shock horror)
Get Smart
The Vicar of Dibley
When is the DVD of F troop coming?
and when will the DVD of My Favourite Martian become affordable?
That ought to take me through to about boxing day when I can watch our LOUTS give an imitation of my beloved cricket.
I will NOT be watching
Seinfeld
Everybody but Sourkraut loves raymond
the nanny (my ears are still ringing from the one painful ep i once watched)
dharma and greg
2.5 men
or anything else of that ilk
Merry Xmas ! SURVIVE!
Ah, Yes Minister – such fabulousness! You’ve just prompted me to add it to my brand new Foxtel magic watching device.
Enjoy your Christmas viewing (survival is my aim…)
