Why So Series

There’s a general consensus that television during the summer months consists mostly of Big Brother and its spinoffs, while the soaps continue running all year long, many of our favorite American imports and UK shows take a long break this time of year. Even anyone that watches online or downloads their weekly fix will be suffering from withdrawal from the likes of Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes, Doctor Who, Lost, Gossip Girl, Criminal Minds, Skins, etc. etc. The only series that seems to have new episodes airing during the summer months will be House on Sky One.

Thus “Why So Series” is born - a Culch.ie weekly feature on DVD boxsets, to guide your summer viewing and with the recession in mind we’ll be aiming to feature bargain boxsets. HMV sales and online stores are a great place to pick up really good value whole seasons of TV series that have either gone off the air or haven’t been picked up by any of the major stations over here. I myself will be focusing on complete TV show boxsets whilst Lottie will be highlighting current cult favourites that have been running for awhile but that you may have missed out on.

We would hope that readers would tip us off when they see a really good deal somewhere too, and feel free to email your tips with your own personal review to [email protected].
