> [@ParallelLines](#): > > I make a personal copy for my home NAS and then stream entirely from there. I do the same, except I never got my act together to build a NAS. My digital files are on a scattered bunch of external drives with backups of the most important ones. Probably about 30 TB in total. It would be so cool to have everything on a single NAS storage array with RAID-5 or -6 redundancy and something like a Plex server for streaming! But it turns out that I do a great deal of my watching in bed on my tablet, which is a perfect match to my near-sightedness and effectively has the field of view of a big movie screen. Best bang-for-the-buck little gadget I ever bought for it was a 256 GB micro-SD card! Some of the recent posts reminded me of two I forgot to list – Mr. Bean (entire series) and Rocky and Bullwinkle (partial collection). And I admit with a certain amount of shame to having a substantial collection of Bugs Bunny cartoons (damn, some of those were actually clever and obviously intended to appeal to parents as well as kids) and the entire series of _I Love Lucy_. The latter I can’t really explain. It’s dated, it has misogynistic views of the role of women, and much of it is corny – but to my simple mind it’s worth watching both as a classic piece of television history – arguably the most popular TV show of all time – and also for the occasional flashes of pretty good writing and the comedic skills of both Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. My interest in it was revived after seeing the biopic _Being the Ricardos_. ---

I think I only have 2: Lord of the Rings (complete with extras but not blue ray) and Rumpole of the Bailey. I love Rumpole as a character, and the part seems tailor-made for Leo McKern, but I haven’t watched more than one or two of the shows on DVD, and they all seem to be available on YouTube now. ---

I used to have quite a few of the ones mentioned. But I’m shocked that nobody so far has mentioned The Larry Sanders Show, which is an hysterically funny send-up of the late night talk show business. I also didn’t see The Detectorists, the delightful British comedy ---

> [@steepone](#): > > The Vicar Of Dibley - Comedy I found this after enjoying _Father Ted_ and looking for some other comedy centered around English vicars. As it turned out, IMHO _The Vicar of Dibley_ was even better! Great writing, great acting, lots of deliberate Pythonesqeue silliness, and even some seriously poignant moments. Would I recommend it? In the words of its famously stuttering Jim Trott character, no, no, no, **YES!** 😁 ---

> [@Sitnam](#): > > I also purchased **Dogma** , cause it’s awesome and it’s IP legal troubles mean you will never be able to stream this. Weinstein sold the rights last year and the current owner has a deal with Kevin Smith. The 25th anniversary 4K Blu-ray is being released on December 9. It holds the number one position in new releases on Amazon as I type this. Smith said in a reddit AMA a few months ago that it will likely be available to stream relatively soon or eventually at any rate. I’d guess that means after everyone has already bought the Blu-ray. ---
