They've been living off the resin at the bottom of the bowl for a decade.
Then again, the problem with waiting for the DVD (which I have been known to do) is that you miss out on the fun of joining the conversation AND run the risk of encountering serious spoilers before you finally get a chance to watch the show.

Hell, I'm still waiting for DAREDEVIL to come out on DVD . . .
You know, the whole idea of "spoilers" has always struck me as silly. Maybe it's because I was a kid during the days when "A New Hope" was simply "Star Wars", and etc, when the internet was a thing of science fiction, and we REALLY had to look out for any scrap of information about an upcoming movie or episode, I don't know.
Plus, we're all fans of this stuff, and anybody who says they're not gonna watch their desired show or movie mulitiple times is lying to themselves anyway, so really, who cares of a plot point is "spoiled" or not. Hell, with my memory being affected by chronic migraines, I usually forget the finer details even when I remember seeing something more than once.
This is why I have to keep reminding myself not to go near the Downton Abbey thread. They're discussing stuff I won't get to see here until January next year, when the series is shown on PBS.Then again, the problem with waiting for the DVD (which I have been known to do) is that you miss out on the fun of joining the conversation AND run the risk of encountering serious spoilers before you finally get a chance to watch the show.

There comes a time when too much really is too much. When I was active in the Society for Creative Anachronism, a science fiction series of novels came out about a guy in Poland who accidentally stumbled into a time portal and ended up in medieval Poland - with only the clothes he was wearing and the contents of his backpack. There was no way back to the 20th century, so he had to make the best life he could manage in the century he was stuck in. The first person in our SCA group to read this book told us about the plot at one of our meetings... and I mean all about the plot. By the time I read the book, there wasn't one single major or minor plot point that I hadn't already been told, there were absolutely no surprises left, and it was more than a little annoying. When the second book came out, again he was the first to read it, and that time we told him to shut up - we didn't want to hear any spoilers.
True. And some of them get discovered long after they're over. That's how it was with me and Firefly, and also with Terra Nova. I watched both of them on Netflix and loved them. It's a shame they were cancelled so soon.
Yeah but you and every other person here is going to see it one way or another. Half the people who say they won't pay will. Another half of that will bootleg it and then buy the Blurays.
CBS has ALREADY made back half it's money and there is already someone at Forbes predicting it will make anywhere from $109 to 442 million dollars for one season of 13 episodes for CBS. By the time they sort out distribution and rights, they'll have already made their money, so just go out and buy the thing.
RAMA
How can CBS rip themselves off?
