I'm not strictly old stuff, mostly newer stuff in fact, but when I come
across one of those old favored series on dvd I pretty much have to buy
it, especially if I never got to see all of the episodes back in the
day.

First TV-on-Dvd purchase was Babylon 5 which I was convinced I had
missed a lot of episodes of - I thought I'd missed the whole last season
(turned out I had seen it, but I still enjoyed watching it all again.)
Then Space 1999 special ordered, then Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which
I'd only seen part of 3 seasons of), then Stargate SG-1 which I'd seen
parts of 2 seasons of.
It's an addicting hobby and has in the past seriously curtailed my
gaming hobby (when there's limited money available and you are buying
dvds, it takes _much_ longer to save up for a major, multi-piece
upgrade.)

Beats watching dreck like Survivor or Big Brother (I am so disgusted
there's a Canadian Big Brother now) or crap like Storage Wars.

Oh Jesus Christ, I just noticed on the TV listings for tonight
"Celebrity Wife Swap"!  
That's it, civilization has fallen, bring on the Apocalypse.
