Well, I'm currently watching Smallville Season 1Fifth episode in and .....
Smallville was a blind buy for me. I bought it when Best Buy had all of the seasons for 19.99. I too was hooked right away.
It was really hard to talk about it due to the spoilers.
24 is terrible!! I always wait for the DVD to watch (can't stand waiting a week to find out what happens next). When it airs on TV you are bombarded with commercials for it day and night. Since I have the TV on a lot during the day while I work I have to be real careful. Heck, just seeing a character could spoil something let alone actually listening to the promo
There is a lot of shows I also wait for on DVD... but I think we need to be careful with this. As more and more people wait to see it on DVD... less and less people will be watching it on TV. And before you know it... ratings go down and shows get canceled. I am about to go pop in Masters of Horror: The Screwfly Solution. Just as soon as I go pop me a bag of popcorn... yes... popcorn and it is only 8:30 in the morning here. Of course I been up since 3am!
