I only need to know if there is a best "viewing order," if you will, for classic episodes, and I would like to know the best way to find these episodes.** If I need to purchase a DVD/Blu-ray, I will. Of course, if I need to buy episodes, I'll save up to get them at a later date and content myself with more Grimm, Bones, and new seasons of Downton Abbey and Sherlock. ... That makes it sound like I watch too much TV. All right, I probably do, but I'm not that bad, guys. If you'll excuse me, I have another episode of Robin Hood to watch.
What's on your watch list in 2014?
