This week's example of why I buy DVDs to watch television rather than the networks is a classis one.
Our network 9 here has the rights to the mega HBO/BBC series ROME.
First they cut scenes and combine episodes to fit one and a half hours into one hour and then they pull the series after two episodes.
Is it any wonder people are turning off network television to spend time on the internet or watching DVDs!
On a happier note, as a teen in the late 60s I saw, and was blown away by, a British televison series called "The Caesars" in living black and white. (It is similar to the very well known BBC series of the 70s "I Claudius").
It disappeared...the tapes were lost or erased ...all that remained were kinescopes. I am not sure if it 625 or 405 line.
Now the series has been put on DVD. it will be interesting to see how the series stands up after all these years.
Oh dear is this nostalgia setting in...
