True to my word, last night I went over the video shelves and got rid of all the commercial titles that were available via Netflix streaming...except the X-Files. Which take up a whole shelf. GAH

Yeah, I am sort of the same way with DVDs (only the showing to other people part doesn't happen that often for me). But there are a lot of DVDs I would never, ever get rid of, even if I never watch the show again, because there is some part of me that needs to have immediate access to it JUST IN CASE. (A lot of my anime DVDs fall into this category...) And sometimes I do get in the mood to marathon an old show, in which case I'm really glad to have my DVDs.
re: mangaroo and X-Files - sounds like me and Star Trek TNG, which is one of my favorite shows ever, but I don't have it on DVD. I've always meant to buy it, but it's kind of a big investment, and it's always on TV and plus I have most of my favorite episodes on tape (recorded from TV, not commercial). But it's one of my favorite shows ever, so I feel like I SHOULD own it properly. I even check Amazon once in a while to see how much it costs. (Currently, ~$300.) What I really need to do, I guess, is stop looking at the cost of the whole series, and just buy a season box set once in a while. But that has its own problems, namely, do I bother buying the first two seasons in that case?
