Do You Buy DVD Box Sets of Your Favourite TV Series Home?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. wondericequeen (4427)   ranked 6 out of 26,925 in people 5 years ago

If you love a TV series, would you buy the DVD box sets home and watch them all over again and again later? I do. Currently I own Ally McBeal and Sex & The City box sets and when I am bored or something, I will take them out and watch them again. One of my friends is a collector as well and he owns so many DVD box sets which is amazing (sometimes we will borrow from him *smiles*). We love owning the box sets because we could watch them again and we could watch them according to our own pace. What about you? If so, which TV series do you own?

Not long ago I completed my collection of all the Friends DVD boxed sets and have now bought a couple of Ally McBeal seasons. I have bought a few seasons of Dallas too LOL remember that? I also have almost all of the series of Spooks which is British spy drama which I really love. I do aim to continue collecting the shows that I love and used to love.

My friend has all the Friends box set and I just borrow from him to watch. Ally McBeal is really good (I don't really enjoy the last season though).

I own every single episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. =P

We also have one season of Angel, one season of Highlander, a few seasons of Will & Grace, some Beast Wars, some Gen 1 Transformers, two seasons of Spongebob Squarepants, and tons of anime, such as Ranma 1/2, Fruits Basket, Fughigi Yuugi, etc.

If I had more money, I would own box sets of just about every show I've ever liked. However, I don't really have the money for that. I do have episodes of many of my favorite tv shows on the computer though, such as Scrubs. I would love to be able to buy the box sets instead of downloading, but honestly I just can't afford it most of the time. Most of the box sets I mentioned above were bought secondhand, or on sale.

I know what u mean. the box sets can be really pricey sometimes. And i think that i would also want to own the box sets of every shows i ever liked that would be cool. *_*


myLot reputation of 99/100. wondericequeen (4427)   ranked 6 out of 26,925 in people  5 years ago

Yes they could be pricey! I only bought my Ally McBeal when they were on sudden sale! But I had to fast myself for a month for that!

Oh I do.

I've got S1-6 of CSI
S1-4 of Nip/Tuck
S1-6 of The Shield
S1 of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman
All seasons of MacGyver, Due South and Saved By the Bell: The College Years (I'm a dork).
S1 of Grey's Anatomy

I'd love to get my hands on seasons 2 and 3 of Grey's Anatomy, but they are so expensive.

There are quite a few shows I wish would be released on DVD:

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, Providence (the whole series, not just a "best of" the eps), Chicago Hope,

That would be so handy. I would love to do that if i ever get the money. Right now i just download all the episodes of the show that i want to watch and then watch them when i have time. If i would do that i would wanto to have, smallville, grey's anatomy,heroes, charmed, friends. I think there are more that i would want to have but for now i think these are the onces i can think of.

I bought the entire 5 box sets series of the sci fi series Babylon 5. It takes two weeks to watch them all back to back, no other TV or PC distractions, from the moment you wake until you fall asleep. I know , I've done it!!

I have wrote a couple of reviews on the Ciao site which you can access via my Blog site http://thetaoofblog-pablothehat.blogspot.com/

The first is the pilot then the first series box set. I have the second series review article in the pipe, but I have been spending far too much time here on myLot.
LOL


Have a look and let me know what you think.

We haven't had time yet to experience boredom, so not exactly. But we have TIVO so we can tell it to look out for our favorite things and record them for us if they air. We record things like Creature Comforts, a funny clay-animated film where pairs of animals talk about their relationships. It is produced by the company that put out Wallace and Gromit. Although we didn't think The Curse of the Were-Rabbit was very good, we love A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, and A Close Shave.

Actually, if you cannot view this where you are, they have an excerpt from The Wrong Trousers (the train chase) available for free viewing on their web page:

Enjoy!

Box sets are the way to go. We have seasons 1-4 of ER and the first season of Bones. House and Law and Order Original and SVU. There are a lot more that I want and if I get the space and money I will buy them

I have the first season of House on DVD; which is pretty much the only box set DVD that I own in the first place. These days I can drive down to Blockbuster and rent boxsets of popular or current television shows. (Which can either be a curse or a blessing.)

My husband has been buying box sets of stuff we watched as kids like Hogan's Heros or he watched like F-troup. I wish I could afford Xena, Warrior Princess. I'd also like to get Qui Chain Cane or however you spell it, a Martial Arts show I saw as a kid and the Legend Continues when I was in college. The ones I really like, I can't afford, but the fun ones like comedies from our childhood we can afford.

Oh that's really fun to collect what you loved when you were a kid/ younger. I wanted to get this one series of Cartoon which I was absolutely crazy about when I was little *laughs*. But they are not available on DVDs, they are available in another format (actually cheaper too!). I think I will get that when I get the new job! I would love to be able to watch that again when I am OLD!

That sounds like fun, too *Smile* Take care

I like Tv series but I don't need them own at home.There are not many of them what I would like to watch twice or so.And also the most of them are over and over on the TV.
