DVD Overdose

Yippee! My Futurama Season One DVDs arrived today! And so did my copy of the Special Edition of Star Trek IV, for that matter. I'd been looking forward to both of those for quite some time, especially the Futurama discs, which only just came out about a week ago. Of course, it immediately occurs to me that I do, after all, still have most of Season One of Angel to watch, as well as three more Blackadder discs, both V miniseries, an entire season of Doctor Who, about half a dozen Alien Nation episodes, and, oh yeah, three movies. Oh, and about two seasons worth of Deep Space 9 episodes, too, though those are tapes, not DVDs. Actually, you know, now that DS9 is starting to come out on DVD, I'm seriously considering trying to unload all those tapes on ebay and switching my collection to discs instead. Yeah, yeah, I know, if I had any capacity for advance planning at all, I would have held off on buying the tapes in the first place... Oh, and speaking of tapes, it suddenly occurs to me that I've got a bunch of Doctor Who episodes on tape that I still need to watch. And a bunch of Forever Knight episodes. (Man, there's a series that I really do wish would come out on DVD.)

I so need to just take a couple of weeks' vacation time and spend it chained to my TV set until I'm caught up. Of course, I seem to keep saying that, and so far it pretty much just keeps not happening... Sigh.
