A very small irony

ideological_cuddleThe availability of random TV repeats (shows like Frasier, Seinfeld, etc) on the "new" digital channels has prompted me to re-join an online DVD rental service (a local Netflix equivalent, but without the streaming) so I can get all 11 seasons of J. Random Program in the right order. Because what we're getting on broadcast TV jumps all over the place and certainly didn't start anywhere near the first season.
I did consider torrenting, but at 50+GB for unknown quality, and with that costing Real Money, it works out not that much more expensive to just rent the DVDs and rip them myself. And when I'm done with the first big batch of stuff there may well be some other decade-long show I feel like watching.
I would happily consider paying a small amount to buy a legit copy, online or DVD, but nowhere sells what I want online and the DVD boxed sets are $200+. I'm not that keen.
