TV is Evolving: What's your favorite TV show on DVD?

Category: Thoughts of a TV Blogger
In my post “TV Is Evolving Before Our Very Eyes,” I mentioned that television really has taken a huge leap from where it was. But, one thing I forgot to mention was how much TV has changed since the mass producing of TV on DVD.
3 or 4 years ago this was practically unheard of, and only in the past 2 years has this new trend really caught on. Personally, I think TV on DVD is one of the greatest inventions ever.
I have quite a few TV seasons on DVD. It all started with 24. 24 was what really got me addicted to TV in the first place. From there it was all over for me, snatching up TV DVDs like there was no tomorrow.
My TV DVD Collection:
24—Season 1, 2, 3, & 4
The 4400—Season 1 & 2
Arrested Development—Season 1
Curb Your Enthusiasm—Season 1
Lost—Season 1
Malcolm in the Middle—Season 1
Criss Angel MINDFREAK—Season 1
The Office (British Version)—Season 1 & 2
The Office (U.S. Version)—Season 1
Reno 911—Season 1, 2, & 3
Seinfeld—Season 1, 2, 3, & 4
The Sopranos—Season 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5
So, as you can see I’m pretty obsessed with TV on DVD. What’s better than sitting down and being able to watch 5 episodes of Lost in a row without interruption? So, who else out there is completely infatuated with TV on DVD?
What’s your favorite TV show to watch on DVD?

That 70's Show huh? Well I've never been a big fan of the show. But, I do love Topher Grace.
Thanks for commenting.

A friend of my brother is absolutely obsessed with DVD boxsets, and has a huge selection. Generally when I do want to catch up on some great television, I just borrow his. He let me borrow four seasons of Alias DVDs and keep them for about 6 months!
Comment by Aaron
I would love Futurama too.

Season 1--$17.99
Season 2--$19.99
Season 4--$24.99
Amazon is the best place to buy TV seasons on DVD. They always have a bunch of people selling them, so prices are rock bottom.
Also, check Ebay. But, I buy all my stuff from Amazon.

Who do you find more creepy - Tobias, Gob or Buster? The obvious choice is always Tobias, but the more I watch, the more I'm tending towards Gob and Buster.
Family favourite - Futurama.

My secret shame TV DVD - Firefly.
It's out there now. I can't take it back.
Comment by Justin
2nd. Lost and Family Guy.
I'd be bouncing off the walls if I could get the "Nowhere Man" series on DVD in Australia, but as yet, and probably forever, there's no distributor for it to be made. =(

I am addicted to TV on DVD. As you can see by my DVD collection I have plenty of titles to choose from - and these are just my TV series. I have a bit of a thing for kung fu as well and own quite a bit of this genre. But I digress. I love Buffy and Angel and own them all. I also love and own Scrubs and Arrested Development, The Family Guy, Absolutely Fabulous, The Shield and Alias. As far as other series go, I belong to a fabulous DVD service that sends my DVDs to my door and have watched Lost - currently about to start series 2 - Six Feet Under, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Spooks, 24. I've heard of The Tick but have never seen it, same goes for Deadwood. I'll add them to my list and hopefully will get to see them in the next few years. There are so many fabulous movies and series to watch it's sometimes difficult to choose which ones I want to watch first.

Never heard of "Nowhere Man." I'll keep my eye out for it, for ya.

Thanks for coming over. Please keep on coming back.

I've always wanted to get into The Shield, but have never been able to find the time, and the DVD seasons are rather expensive.
It's great to meet another Arrested Development fan. And I hope you enjoy Lost season 2. It's a great show.
But, thank you so much for that picture. It's very cool to look at.

No, you won't have heard of the other one, it's all Australian - you can have a look here for some Chaser info and I think they podcast as well if you wanted to see some actual footage.
But the front page of the website alone will tell you what sort of material it is.

Family Guy - Seasons 1, 2
The Shield - Season 1
Wildboyz - Seasons 1, 2
Buffy - Season 3 (yes, I'm weird)
The Shield - Season 1
Scrubs - Seasons 1, 2, 3
The X-Files - Seasons 1, 2
24 - Seasons 1, 2, 3
Band of Brothers (not sure if this qualifies as a TV show)
Getting all the seasons for a show is quite painful for my wallet. That's the reason why I'm stuck (for now) on the first seasons.

I've just gone out and ordered Alias 4 and Arrested Development 3.
Also checked out Nip / Tuck, which I'd forgotten to mention as being a very entertaining series, Horatio Hornblower and the Gilmore Girls (which is really twee, but I do love it.) Pleased to report that I resisted the temptation.
And JohnDoe, thanks for mentioning the Muppet Show. I have that and didn't think of it. And I was looking at the picture of my DVDs and was horrified I forgot to mention Fame.
(And I just want to point out that if you look closely in the top left hand corner of my photo, you'll see a Glory in September DVD. Go Swannies. And apologies to all of you who aren't from Australia.)

Everyone raves about Nip/Tuck. I did watch the season finale last year, and it was a bit too creepy for my taste. So, I don't think I'll ever get into it. Sorry. And, I know I might get shot down for saying this, but man I can't stand Gilmore Girls, haha! Sorry.
Pleased to hear that this post is now making a difference in your life though

The same goes for 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' and many other sitcoms I ahve in my collection. (Gonna need a bigger bookcase!)
My friend Mary Cadorette shows up in the first episode of 'Murphy Brown' as the very first secretary and her appearance setst that long-running gag in motion. But you'd never know it from watching the show in syndication - cut out! So I got the boxed set for the first season of that as well. (Sadly, it doesn't look like we'll get the full run of that series due to poor sales.)

We watched the season one and two dvd's first from Netflix, then caught season three on OnDemand. Just when we finished the first season for the second time on Netflix, my husband tripped over a pristine used set of the second season at Gamestop for only $40. Needless to say we'll be keeping an eye out for season one at the same place.
Unfortunately, season three is no longer on OnDemand, and not yet available on dvd, so we're both going through Deadwood withdrawal.
