Let's try that one again.

After much thought, I have decided to change my project. I made this decision after starting the project with four straight tv show discs. The reason I decided to do this was to put together my thoughts on my collection of DVDs. With over 75 discs just between The West Wing and The Simpsons, the thought of trying to slog through one of the lesser post-Sorkin discs just didn't sound fun.

On that note, I'm switching the format around. The new rules are:

1. All of my movies will continue to be played in a random order, with the exception of Star Wars.
2. As for Star Wars, I am saving that for a marathon weekend, a new feature I'm adding as well.
3. The TV shows aren't being ignored, but are being themed
1. 30 Rock, Arrested Development, and Band of Brothers will be pushed to marathon weekends.
2. Futurama will be have four positions in the rotation. Each position will include eight episodes, three based around a theme, and one set of great and significant episodes that don't fit the themes. The themes are:
1. Fry & Leela
2. The Why of Fry
3. Bender: Great Sidekick/Horrible Star
4. The Best of the Rest
3. The Simpsons (Seasons 1-10) follows the same rules as Futurama. The themes for the Simpsons:
1. Sideshow Bob
2. Lisa vs. My DVD Player
3. Guest Star Bonanza
4. Worst. Episodes. Ever. (Not at all true)
4. The West Wing will be established as 7 distinct "movies", i.e. storylines that have distinct arcs. The list includes:
1. What Kind of a Day Has It Been/In the Shadow of Two Gunmen
2. The MS storyline: "17 People" to "Manchester Part Two"
3. The Minister of Qumar: "We Killed Yamamoto" to "20 Hours in America"
4. Twenty-Five: "Commencment" to "Dogs of War"
5. A John Wells Hacktacular: "Gaza" to "Third Day Story"
6. Santos for President: "Faith Based Initiative", "Opposition Research", "King Corn", "Freedonia", "La Palabra", "In God We Trust", "Things Fall Apart", "2162 Votes"
7. A Peaceful Succession: "Election Day" to "Tomorrow"
5. In addition to the theme sets, we'll also include two all-inclusive themed sets
1. Pilots: The first episode of every show I own.
2. Oddities and Innovations: Well, you will just have to see...
4. Due to the lower workload, I'll only be posting twice a week, every Tuesday and Thursday.
   

The fun begins anew with "The Minister of Qumar": Four episodes (okay, two episodes a double-length season premiere) that include some of my favorite moments from the series. Next after that will be "Pilots", then "Bender: Great Sidekick/Horrible Star".
