Reference excerpt

TVShowsOnDVD.com was a website dedicated to cataloging, campaigning for, and reporting news about Region 1 television series releases on DVD and region A Blu-ray. The site's slogan asked: "Is YOUR Favorite Show On DVD?". From February 2007 until its closing, the site was affiliated with TV Guide. In March 2013, TVGuide.com was acquired by CBS Interactive, transferring control of TVShowsOnDVD.com to the new owners. On May 25, 2018, the website was shut down, and news updates were moved to social media. The team is currently trying to publish their articles in a pay-per-view subscription-based service via Substack, much to dismay of the original audience.

Description The site began on November 1, 2001, and was expanded to accept votes from registered members for over 10,000 television shows throughout TV history. The site contained information on over 8,000 TV-DVD releases—including full season, best of, and individual episode releases. The site also posted thousands of news articles relating to upcoming releases, reviews of TV-DVDs that were currently on the market, and sometimes a list of alterations (such as use of syndicated episode versions and music replacement) to various TV-DVDs. Users could create accounts to vote for which TV shows they would like to have seen on DVD and compile lists of the sets they owned and wanted. In early November 2005, the site received over 75,000 visitors a day and had official links with many major studios. The site also maintained an RSS feed, a blog, a presence on Twitter and a Facebook fan page. At their Facebook fan page they also maintain a "What's The Hold-up? FAQ", describing known reasons why particular shows are not currently receiving DVD releases.

Home Theater Forum The site was very closely linked to Home Theater Forum. The founder of TVShowsOnDVD.com, Gord Lacey, and the site's news director, David Lambert, were both regularly posting members at the "HTF" and were registered there prior to the creation of the site they worked at. The HTF's "TV on DVD and Blu-ray: Shows and TV Movies" section remained the official message board of TVShowsOnDVD.com. On February 15, 2007, Gord Lacey announced that the site had been acquired by TV Guide.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with TVShowsOnDVD.com

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what TVShowsOnDVD.com claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to TVShowsOnDVD.com before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about TVShowsOnDVD.com ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of TVShowsOnDVD.com

In research: TVShowsOnDVD.com appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses TVShowsOnDVD.com in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: TVShowsOnDVD.com is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics DVD, Defunct websites, Internet properties disestablished in 2018, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for TVShowsOnDVD.com outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
