Oh hell yes!  I only ever got to see bits and pieces of Wyrd Sisters... It was on the ABC many, many times, but for some reason I always seemed to catch the same episode every time.

I too have only memories of half seen episodes and already seen viewings..I think I saw an episode last on the ABC only a year or so back. Though I'm still yet to watch Hogfather or....the other one...memory..bad, all the way through. LOVE Pratchett anything but something seems to be stopping me from remembering or watching anything all the way through. Must be some kind of magic.

Tonight I picked up Battlestar Galactica 1,2&3 for $70. Borders have a 3for2 deal, and all 3 seasons of BG. Sweet!

There's a tiny consumer whore in me telling me I should take advantage of that deal - especially as I haven't caught up with BSG yet. Good thing/Unfortunately I'm broke...

The Amazon Fairy (hello to that imagery) left another parcel on my doorstep this morning containing:
Empire Records - Bootleg Fan Edition, a movie guaranteed to cheer me up.
Futurama - The Beast With A Billion Backs, gotta love the retro artwork on the packaging.
Battlestar Galactica: Razor, the extended edition, with this I now do what others here are doing and start making my way through BSG from the beginning.
Mystery Science Theatre 3000 - The Movie, finally got a legit copy 
Be seeing you,
Magnus Darcrider

I see the Amazon Fairy as Santa Claus for grown-ups (and that's completely ignoring the imagery Magnus insinuated above). I await the next delivery with the same childlike anticipation, and have a habit of literally and gleefully running up to any parcel left ouside. As I did to this one today:
From the Earth to the Moon - Tom Hanks's love letter to the Moon, in twelve hour HBO miniseries form. Focusing strictly on the American side of the space race, it oozes patriotism from every pore, but the Apollo program is worthy of that sincerity. Great production values, great packaging, great subject matter.
Veronica Mars Seasons 1-3 - After Heroes and Wonderfalls, this is phase three of Operation Convert Girlfriend To Excellent TV Shows. (I really need to find a better project naming committee.)
Dexter Season One - Nothing much to say that hasn't already been said. A brilliantly twisted show.

I'm inclined to agree, but for some reason I see it as one of the Futurama Amazons with cardboard wings. No idea why.
Anyway, HB I'd like to borrow From the Earth to the Moon from you once you've watched it, digested it, and the shiny newness has worn off. I've always wanted to see, but have not wanted to go in blind. It's an important series, not just for it's own content, but because without it we would never have gotten Band of Brothers, as this was Tom Hanks' first tentative foray into television production on a grand scale.
I've actually got to get into Veronica Mars as well, as I took advantage of the same (or similar) sale. Perhaps you should call it "Operation: Clockwork Orange"?
Be seeing you,
Magnus Darcrider

I'll be happy to lend it out within a month or two, although if the ownership bug gets the better of you before then, the price is still right.
Operation: Clockwork Orange would be priceless if, as a twist ending, it culminated with a screening of A Clockwork Orange itself. "You've been PROGRAMMING me?"
Priceless, but not at all advisable.

The Complete Stargate Collection, $116 until 5pm. I for one will happily surrender. Thank/curse you, Amazon.

Tried to find any more substantial information about that MST3K: 20 Anniversary Edition but I'm afraid my guess is no better than anyone else's. There doesn't seem to be any actual information on this besides its Amazon page... 
Although a commenter on the Amazon page alleges that info re: this set will be released at Comic-Con 25 July.

Cursed be the JB "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" sale, for it means I now have all of The X-Files plus the movie.
I hear I may regret purchasing Seasons 8 & 9, but since I never watched them, I figured I needed to see them for myself.
We'll see how much I can power through before the movie, which sadly means putting Stargate on hold.
Be seeing you,
Magnus Darcrider

I recently sat through seasons 8&9 (after owning them for over a year) and they do have some good episodes.
Worth owning for 'jump the shark' if nothing else. Maybe 'Sunshine days" too. Oh, and if you do truly like the x-files, don't watch "the truth".
I wish I hadn't.

Chris Carter called an episode "Jump The Shark"? I just found some respect for the series. I might have to try to get back into it...
