[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 386861, member: 23"] That would be the one with Frank Gorshin, I'm guessing (mainly because it's the only Christmas-themed episode I seem to remember the series doing). I know how you feel about the pacing of older series, so that's quite a compliment. Looking back over my comments near the start of this thread it seems I watched the entire series in around 5 weeks last time round. In the time since then, I've resolved that whenever I next watch the series I'd hope to do it at a much more leisurely pace, because at times it began to feel like work rather than pleasure. You've hit the nail on the head for me with random episodes as well. I've watched all in order enough times to have the context, and I like the idea of mixing it up a bit. Perhaps I could even consider watching the episodes in alphabetical order, [USER=22]@James from London[/USER] style. I'm also giving serious thought to replacing my DVDs with the Blu-ray set. Reviews suggest it's not perfect (a bit oversaturated here, a bit soft-looking there) but overall an improvement and probably as good as the series is going to look. Incidentally, after reading some comments in this thread today, I ended up playing the soundtrack in the car this afternoon. Every once in a while, it becomes my driving soundtrack for a little period of time, and it seems I'm there again. [/QUOTE]
