Since so many TV shows are now on DVD
Which ones would you buy and no longer tape?

I've got seasons 1-6 now of Stargate, and will finish that set. I also got Dead Zone, MacGyver, Black Sheep Squadron, and Greatest American Hero. Until the CSI seasons get a little cheaper, I'll hold out on them.

What shows are you buying as full seasons on DVD, if any?

4. No one's laughing!
You saw my list, didn't you? ;)

Actually I would probably eventually add Next Gen and DS9 to my list when finances permit. And the 1978 BSG wouldn't be a bad addition, either. I don't like the new one at all.

3. I want Buffy and Angel at least and also MASH
That might be all the series TV I need on DVD.

If I get Buffy and Angel, I won't have to fill up my TIVO with it. :crazy:

5. Agreed on Angel, Buffy
They're both great shows. Did you see that David Boreanez will be playing an FBI agent in the new series, Bones? It'll be on opposite Stargate for me, but I have someone who will be able to tape for me, at least.

6. YEs, I want to catch it
It looks like a great character for DB to play. Not so broody, more of that sardonic, sexy humor of his. :D

14. I have all
six sets of a British mystery series call "Midsomer Murders". That's all I have for t.v. series. I'm thinking of getting a few others, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Waiting for some better prices.

17. Try
http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com

I've been going there lately a lot. Their prices are the best I've seen and they have free shipping.

And no this isn't an ad for them--I got 5th season of SG-1 at $31 from them, and it's $50 at most places.
