I like DVDs, partly because of the bonus features, such as deleted scenes, director commentaries, and so on. Or with TV shows if it's older ones, they're often the original, uncut ones where a half hour was actually around 24-26 minutes of program, and an hour was 48-52 or so. Nowadays what you see on tv has usually has a good deal of its original content jettisoned for more commercials, not to mention the overlap of closing/opening credits to squeeze in even more commercial time.
Still, I can't remember the last time I bought a DVD myself. For Christmas 2018, my housemate's Mom got me "Saturn 3," the 1980 sci-fi movie somewhat famous because of its nudity. It had Farrah Fawcett in it, but it was Kirk Douglas you saw naked!
It's not exactly "Masterpiece Theatre", but it's one of those bad movies I always liked. She wanted a gift idea for me for Christmas, and I mentioned it, and lo and behold, she found it! I don't think I've watched it, since around Christmas of 2018, though!
The other week we lost power for a few hours one Sunday morning. When the power came back, the FIOS didn't, so we were without internet, phone, and tv. So, we fired up the DVD player and watched some "Mama's Family" DVDs. Awhile back, Star Vista Media, or whatever they're called, released the whole series as a set, which included the old NBC episodes restored to where they had the original openings and closings (different house for the exterior shots, Harvey Korman doing those Alistair Quince introductions, and ending with them saying "Mama's Family was filmed in front of a live audience" and then having Vicki Lawrence or someone else say something smart-assed in response to it)
So, DVDs do still come in handy from time to time!
) And we have several DVD/Blueray players "in service" today. We have some DVD's in our library that I've never seen available on any streaming service so we'll keep the technology and DVD's around until they get to the point "everything" is available on demand and in the cloud.
