TV on DVD

The really great thing about being able to get your favorite TV shows on DVD, is that you can easily consume four or five episodes in an evening, and get enough to hold you over till your next few free hours to consume another four or five more. You can zip through an entire season of pain and pleasure, disappointment and heartache in just a few dedicated nights. Which is what I just did with Season 5 of Grey's Anatomy. With a young one still up and acting like a banshee when the shows are actually on, it's not realy possible to watch them. I'm now catching up and finally getting to see the episodes that everyone was so shocked about months earlier, with George getting hit by a bus and dying in the season finale.

But being a romantic, what I'm most interested in is the instant dynamic between Christina Yang and Major Owen Hunt, played by Sandra Oh and the amazing Kevin McKidd. I loved Rome when it was on HBO and he was incredible as Lucius Vorenus, so it's no surprise that he's managed to breathe new life into what had become a formulaic story.

Now I might have to watch the new season's episode on Hulu. I don't think I can wait for Season 6 to come out on DVD.
