Batson's Blog

I've posted a few blogs over the past 5 years about television shows and movies that somehow aren't readily available on DVD.      -   Saturday, Jan. 5, 2013:             10 TV shows and movies that aren't on DVD, but should be      -   Sunday, Jan. 19, 2014:             10 more TV shows and movies that aren't on DVD, but should be      -   Saturday, Feb. 11, 2017:             10 TV shows and movies that STILL aren't on DVD, but should be Some people claim that the DVD is dying, but I don't think it ever will fully go away.  People still like tangible things.  They like to be the owner of something. Digital purchases just aren't the same as having a physical DVD copy of your favorite show --- at least in my opinion. Well, good news: some of that has changed!  Let's take a look at some of the TV...
