I would rather buy the UK, OZ or any other countries BBs, than ours at this point. The only thing that could be interesting in US BB on DVD would be if they had commentary from houseguests/producers and maybe stuff we missed because of FOTH. And maybe some of the behind the scenes - making of Big Brother.

I might rent them to re-watch some of the parts but it's not something I'd feel the need to own.

I would have to say no.

Primarily, I'm not into watching repeats of something I have already seen. Also, to me, BB is like a "in the moment" kind of thing. I experience it, I go through withdrawal when it's over and then I do it all over again the next summer.

Maybe, if there ever came a point when there will be no more BBs, I would buy a DVD compilation of the best moments of every season. That would be cool.

But having said that, man, if we could get never-seen diary room or behind-the-scenes footage, I would buy it.

I would buy a "Best of Hardy" DVD.

Bunny, I think someone posted "the best of Hardy" sometime last year when he was doing the soft porn. ;)

I'm with Spygirl, Bbrock and Twinkie! I would spend the $ for Season 1.

Not a boxed set of the show - I wouldn't sit and re-watch CBS' version.

I would buy "BB...the unseen Diary Room". Uncensored!!

No, I wouldn't buy it unless it was highlights of the live feeds. That made the show for me, really, that the diary room and eviction nite.

I would probably buy it depending on the footage. If it was just all the shows on DVD probably not...But if there was some extra diary room footage or live feed highlights that were not shown on TV it would be definate!

No I would not buy it. I can always tape the show. IMO the live show is the dullest part of BB. If it weren't for the live feeds, the show would be mediocre.

No, I wouldn't buy BBIII but I would buy the set of BBI if they showed alot of the DR stuff and shared details of behind the scenes type of stuff and gave us updates on all the cast members, etc. The reason I would buy the BBI over BBIII is purely sentimental. It was a first. BBI was an awesome experience from the Internet perspective, with watching the 24/7 live feeds and to me, it was the most pure form of the show.

I wouldn't buy it. I certainly wouldn't consider it a year after it occured, either. Big Brother is live feeds. Big Brother is reading the thoughts of others in this forum. Big Brother reruns would be of zero interest to me. Period.

no, because if i wanted FOTH, i could go to the 'right now' topic and look at my own front door, LOL, but i would buy BB1 since i saw exactly 45 seconds of one episode! when i read your discussions of houseguests from that series, i am totally lost. i don't have an eddie's leg to stand on.

I wouldn't buy BB3 but I would buy BB1. I still miss the original and neither season 2 or 3 has been the same for me. Yes, I still miss Curtis. There are days I even miss Chicken George. Go figure.

Like some of the others I'd love to have a set from BB1 with unseen footage and whatever extras. Not sure about the other two, but seeing some of Will's Diary room sessions (especially when he made use of Nicole's clay sculpture of herself) would be great from BB2. BB3 would just make me mad seeing how bad Gerry was treated.

I'm with some of the others here... I would consider "Behind the Scenes" of BB1 for the right price -- but I would skate right past BB2 & BB3. They just don't hold a candle to the Internet Magic of the first one. Heck, BB1 is the reason why I can't leave this place. :)

I would buy it, if only to count how many times in the season Gerry appeared in black socks.

No, I wouldn't. Out of sight, completely out of mind for me. I had to think for a few minutes to remember who beat Danielle last year. The show is fun to watch live and discuss here while the action is going down, but it's not the type of fine broadcasting I would feel compelled to shelve.

In BB1 the only thing we didn't see were the diary room sessions. We even got to watch the HG during the live shows on the Feeds. They didn't have all the America's Choices and the only Luxury I think they had was the trip to the Emmy's that Curtis won. Very seldom we were treated to the Chicken Cam on all 4 feeds, but that wasn't very often. Thus, I don't think there would be too much to add that we haven't already seen to put on a DVD. Plus the show was on 7 days a week.

BB 2 & 3 is when we would get FOTH at the drop of a hat. So there is lots we didn't see, but unfortunately, it is also probably stuff they don't want us to know about anyway so they wouldn't put it on the DVD anyway. So here again, it would be very little that would be new if you watched the tv show AND the live feeds.

Now, if BB houses in other countries would put out a collection, I would for sure rent them, but not buy them. I don't watch the same movie or show often enough to justify buying it. If I wanted to see it again in 3 or 4 years, I would just rent it again. Besides, I use NetFlix instead of renting.

Now the big question to Ryn, the person who started this thread, "Are you a CBS Mole?" LOL Just kidding! Hope our answers help your friend decide. Just think how much fun the German BB seasons would be if they were either sub-titled or dubbed over in English.

DK :p

LOL I have a sceenshot I took that I feel is "The best of Hardy." I still have some tapes from season 1 though I haven't watched them in eons (just came across one not long ago when I was looking for a tape to use)...but I know I lost one BB1 full tape I had when I returned it to the library by mistake (don't ask), called IMMEDIATELY when I saw my mistake and it was POOF mysteriously gone. The librarian must have been a Curtis fan--or wanted a free blank tape lol.

And NO I wouldn't pay for it...there are days I still would pay to forget some of it LOL. The only possible exception being BB1 and included updates on the HG's. Something Arnie seems unwilling to give us. Of course to do that he would have to acknowledge there WAS a BB before him. I really would love to catch up with that group again and hear what they all are doing (and see how they look).

Well..If I didn't actually tape the full BB3 Season, I would probably buy it just to re-live memories and be entertained all over again lol..But I have it taped so It would be a waste for me personally.

Hmmm... maybe if I was flush with cash,as the price is a bit high; and ITA with most everyone that BB3 would not be my favorite choice...but, all things considered, maybe.

As a few others have said, I would buy the diary room tapes. But, only within a month of the show ending. This way events would still be fresh in my memory. Later than that, probably not. I would watch reruns on TV.

Any idea when the Reality network is supposed to begin? Hopefully they will show past BBs.

Nope, would not buy them. Maybe back in the old days when I was involved in a lot of group dynamics work and studies but not now. Don't get me wrong...I'm somewhat addicted to BB and can't wait for this season but the show is "in the moment" and to me loses much of its interest once it's over and done with.

I agree with Scorpiomoon. BB is a " in the moment" Kind of thing. I really enjoy the live feeds and the excellent write up some people do of the live feeds.I also enjoy reading the take different people have on the feeds. But the show without the feeds would not even interest me that much. I don't do re runs very much either. That is why I have to time for BB in the summer. Although I might rent a copy of BB1 just for the fun of it.
