As great as just playing the show is, I actually really like DVD/Blu-ray menus because of the little extras you get on some of them. It makes the disk feel more special compared to straight up video files on a storage device. The warnings can be a little annoying, but otherwise I don't mind as much.

Also, I'm lucky enough to have yet to find a DVD/Blu-ray that stutters or has audio glitches on the Vizio Blu-ray player I got at a thrift store, so I'm lucky.

The deleted scenes and commentary audio tracks were cool, but idk if I'd actually watch any of it now. I heard years ago that there's a whole system for "MST3King" a movie manually with community commentary tracks that effectively do the same thing and I've never cared enough to figure out how to set it up and try one, so I don't know if I'd ever actually watch a DVD commentary even if I had the option.

Maybe it would be cool for Taskmaster, since I've seen every episode so many times and continue to rewatch it? But I rarely re-watch anything anymore. And I don't think TV shows got commentary tracks anyway.

And deleted scenes could probably just be found on YouTube, I assume? I don't know because I haven't cared enough to search, lol.

I haven't watched the extra content in years, just don't care, Matrix was probably the last time I watched that stuff.
