What do you do first, watch a series while it's on air or wait until DVD/Bluray?

Typically I wait for it to be released on DVD/Blu-ray before getting into it because it's just too hard to keep up week after week with a show.

this only really applies to drama ongoing shows, but yes I would rather wait. I still haven't seen lost or dexter or walking dead. I love it when a show is over and done with and I can go trough the whole thing from start to end. Once they put star trek on netflix I went through them all except voyager which I will do at some time. It doesn't take much effort to avoid talk about shows you're not watching either I find.

Depends on the show. If I can catch up somehow or not be so far left behind by the time I get into it then I'll DVR it and keep up.

Mostly though I don't watch too many TV shows.

I wait for TV shows till they're on Netflix, other than that I don't watch much TV over the air anymore.

Depends on the show but generally if its on TV i'll watch it. Thanks to having cable and OnDemand I'm generally able to catch up on the last 5-10 episodes. If I'm like 2 seasons in I may acquire the show through various means.

I will watch that show when its on air. And if the story of that show is good than I will wait for DVD to buy it........

I don't have the patience for regularly scheduled TV anymore. If a studio wants me to see their program they better broadcast it multiple times over the course of the week. Otherwise, I'll skip it, put it off or forget about it entirely. So, I prefer to wait for the DVD/BDs and then watch the whole thing in a marathon. The stuff I do watch on TV these days are reruns and daily broadcasts like Sportscenter.

I normally either watch it while its on air, or see it when it's legally streamed in case I miss an episode (Like Hulu and CrunchyRoll for example). If I like it to a point, then I'll buy the DVD of the series.

I'll watch the shows on Netflix or other sources online and then I'll buy the current season on Zune and catch up. Then I try to watch them live
