What entire TV series do you WANT to own on DVD? My picks:

[Redstone]

Reasonable Doubts (with Marle Matlin).

Hec Ramsey (eith Richard Boone).

Homicide: Life on the Streets.

Anyone know where I can find any of those, I'd sure appreciate pointers...

Redstone

[Tripper11]

1. WKRP In Cincinnati

Except with original songs, which will never happen due to licensing issues.
Argh.

[Forkboy]

2. I still need Fawlty Towers, French and Saunders and season 3 of The Upright Citizens Brigade.

Other than that, I got most of what I want, as there aren't many shows I'm that into, at least to the point of buying them.

Homicide was a great show, btw.

[tigereye]

3. Gilmore Girls and Northern Exposure

so witty, so fun.

[Biker13]

15. Hey Tigereye!

*Biker's Old Lady*

I LOVE the "Gilmore Girls"! I watch it every night on ABC Family, and even Biker has been hooked! He's VERY well read, and gets a kick from the literary references.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

63. My daughter has the whole series on DVD

I was laid up after minor surgery and watched the first six seasons over the course of about three days. Sounds like the sort of thing that Lorelei and Rory would have done!

I agree about the literary and pop culture references. The series was really well-written.

[tigereye]

64. cool!

Welcome to DU, Biker!


the pacing of GG (and how smart it is) always reminds me of old Capra movies- very witty and fast dialogue. West Wing also had this quality (not often seen anymore) and I used to rewind and replay West Wings so that I could catch the quick repartee!


:hi:

[begin_within]

4. Upstairs, Downstairs

The best drama TV series of all time, if you ask me.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

22. I HAVE Upstairs, Downstairs, due to a special sale at Deep Discount DVD

:-)

[begin_within]

26. You are so lucky.

I still haven't seen the early black-and-white episodes but I've seen all the color ones on PBS. It's been a long time an I'd like to sit down and watch the entire series again. I don't think any American show has achieved that level of quality from beginning to end.

[jmowreader]

5. MASH

Still the finest show ever aired.

This isn't a television show, but I'd like to have the complete set of Looney Tunes on DVD as well.

[applegrove]

70. Yup. That and Carole Burnett.

[canoeist52]

6. A few : "West Wing", "Six Wives of Henry VIII." (BBC)

"Elizabeth R"
"Upstairs, Downstairs"
"Northern Exposure"

[Demoiselle]

7. Black Adder

[GreenPartyVoter]

43. + a google

[Forkboy]

61. They even have a reunion episode.

And Stephen Fry is his usual hilarious self in it. :)

[AsahinaKimi]

8. Macgyver!

And maybe AirWolf..

[hyphenate]

30. All of MacGyver is available

And a bit of a warning: I bought all the seasons individually, only to find out that the entire 6 season boxed set also includes the two MacGyver movies for TV that were made. So if you buy the series set, you get the bonuses.

[AsahinaKimi]

32. Cool!

I am sure even MacGyver would be impressed with that!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

37. OMG, I loved MacGyver when I was a kid! I had such a puppy love crush on him!

YEAH!

[AsahinaKimi]

69. me too

Loves me sum Richard Dean Anderson!

[kwassa]

9. The Wire, Deadwood, Band of Brothers, Homicide, Dexter.

[Ptah]

10. So far I have four seasons of Alfred Hitchcok Presents.

[Hayabusa]

11. Interesting Questions...

The entire Law & Order reality (within reason, mainly the show, spin-offs, Homicide, and that one show that was NBC that involved the fictional newspaper)

Garfield & Friends (Loved that cartoon growing up)

And of course...

Doctor Who (the whole thing, classic series and new series)

[tonysam]

12. ALL vintage television from the 1950s

and quite a few from the sixties and a few from the seventies.

Here are a few series I am "working" on to complete:

The Fugitive
The Invaders
Mister Ed
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Perry Mason
Gunsmoke
Rawhide
Have Gun Will Travel
Mister Peepers
That Girl
All in the Family
Father Knows Best
The Donna Reed Show
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (if and when season sets come out)
Leave It to Beaver (if this DVD series is ever completed)
Route 66
Alfred Hitchcock Presents
Bewitched

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

13. If I could ever find it for an affordable price

(for me under $40.00), I would love to own Twin Peaks.

[Biker13]

14. I Want...

*Biker's Old Lady*

Faulty Towers
Gilmore Girls
Sons Of Anarchy
The Sopranos

[MilesColtrane]

16. The Wire and Band of Brothers stand out first.

[leeroysphitz]

17. Coprock.

I'm frugal.

[hobbit709]

18. I have these

Band Of Brothers
The Prisoner
Rocky & Bullwinkle
The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus
James Burke's Connections 1, 2 & 3, along with The Day The Universe Changed
All The Walking With-Dinosaurs, Prehistoric Beasts and Cavemen
along with The Angry Beavers and Tripping The Rift.

[Forkboy]

21. Aw man....

I loved Connections and The Day The Earth Changed. I used to get high and watch them and let my mind be blown.

And now that I know they're actually on DVD, my mission is clear. :)

Thumbsup on the Rocky and Bullwinkle too!

[TheDebbieDee]

19. "Who ya wit'?" The Bernie Mac Show, baby!

I've been watching the reruns on FX Networks every week day since I lost my job in October. I love the show - it's a scream!

[grace0418]

20. I already own Arrested Development, Northern Exposure and the Young Ones. Six Feet Under would

be the only other one I can think of, but the box set was really expensive and I'm not sure I'd watch them again. Even though I loved the series with all my heart, I'm not sure I can watch it again.

[gmoney]

23. the rest of ThirtySomething

they should have just done them all in one set, instead they're going to drag out the releases by season over the next year or two. Grr...

[Lydia Leftcoast]

24. I have the entire runs of

Upstairs, Downstairs
Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister
The Prisoner
Tenko
Life on Mars (British version)
The Forsyte Saga (original 1960s version)
Cracker

When I get a little more money, I want to buy the entire I, Claudius, which is currently available from Amazon UK for about $26 US.

It's been worth it to me to buy a region-free DVD player, because Amazon UK sells anything that's more than a couple years old for really, really low prices, on top of which they don't charge VAT to U.S. purchasers, and the shipping is only about $8.

[nuxvomica]

56. Wow! I didn't know those were available

You've listed some of my all-time favorite British series: "Yes, Minister", the original "Forsyte Saga" which I haven't seen since it first aired on PBS and "I, Claudius". You have excellent taste, Lydia Leftcoast. :thumbsup:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

58. 1. Get a region-free player for about $20 more than a comparable regular player

(order online).

2. Look up the Amazon UK website.

3. Check out the prices for older British TV series.

4. Swoon.

(Note: You can play European DVDs on a region-free player, but there is no way to play European VHS tapes.)

[Flaxbee]

25. Was just thinking of Homicide earlier today - what a great show

Love Andre Braugher, love Yaphet Kotto and Kyle Secor and Richard Belzer... riveting television.

[LostInAnomie]

27. Mystery Science Theater 3000

[bedazzled]

28. i love red dwarf -- it's british. and are you being served?

blackadder is good, too.
twilight zone
outer limits
i love lucy
monty python

[Forkboy]

33. Smeghead.

:D

[bedazzled]

50. i didn't think i knew you? seriously, how clever do you have to be

to invent your own CURSE WORD? i adore chris barrie.
actually, everyone on that show! they made a new one,
just out, called "back to earth." it's definitely
worth a look...

[Forkboy]

59. I've seen the new one.

It was....meh. However, I hated series 7 and 8 at first too and now I thoroughly enjoy both (Tikka To Ride in series 7 is one of their best episodes, imo), so I'm planning on watching the new one at least a couple more times to see if it grows on me. There were some parts that were really funny, so its worth a second look.

I think Chris Barrie was really the heart of the show, the one that all the others played off of. Plus, I tend to like the bastards in these shows, like Rik from the Young Ones. :)

[bedazzled]

65. i always like the bad guys, too. rimmer was supposed to be annoying

but he had a kind of smarmy charm. i loved ace
rimmer! i haven't seen the young ones yet.
it's in my netflix queue. i did love rik mayall
in the blackadder - "flash by name, flash by
nature"

[SemiCharmedQuark]

36. Did you see the New (ish) Red Dwarf earlier this year? Red Dwarf Back to Earth?

[bedazzled]

51. sure did! got it through netflix!

it was great to see the guys together again. it wasn't
up to the first three seasons, but i loved it anyway.

heard a rumor they're making a 10th series. decided to
give the 9th series a pass, as it were...

[hyphenate]

29. Have you been to

tvshowsondvd.com? Once you register, you pick all the shows you want on DVD, and as word comes out about their status, you can keep up with it. I probably have about 100 shows I want on DVD, but since I registered a very long time ago, a great many of them have come out, including the series I wanted the most: the Man from UNCLE.

Also, you might also want to make note that if you have a region-free DVD player, you can buy DVDs from other regions, which I do with some of the British shows that aren't available in Region 1 (US and Canada). An instance of the difference: A&E put out the region 1 DVD set of the British show, The Champions about 6 years ago, at a cost of $60. As only 15 (out of 30) episodes had played on US TV, that's how many of the episodes were on the DVD set, and the second 1/2 were never issued.

The Amazon UK site, OTOH, had the British DVD special covering all 30 episodes, as well as a short documentary on the show including a reunion with the actors, a 2 hr special of two eps together, and other extras. I was able to get that set for $60 US. Since then, that same DVD special edition is now at 30 quid, approx. $50 US.

There are other ways to see shows you might want to catch--there is a new station (different affiliates in different cities) called Retro TV, and I catch shows like Alias Smith and Jones, It Takes A Thief, and Black Sheep Squadron on there and record them with TIVO. You might also try hulu.com, or tv.blinkx.com or a torrent site which might have some things. I got Vengeance Unlimited and Fantastic Journey from other fans, neither which is likely to show up on DVD anytime soon.

The only shows I would like that I haven't found through these methods are Covington Cross, The Magician, and When Things Were Rotten.

[Mojambo]

31. "It's Garry Shandling's Show"

And it's finally out.

Gonna buy it after I recover from the holiday expense explosion.

That is if no one ends up getting it for me.

[Ozymanithrax]

34. Farscape

Perhaps one of the best Science Fiction Series ever...

[SemiCharmedQuark]

35. Twilight Zone, MST3K and...*cough*....Gargoyles...

------>NERD<-------

So far, I have blown entirely too much money on 12 seasons of The Simpsons, all 4 volumes of Futurama and the 4 Futurama movies. I also have the Complete BlackAdder and Dexter.

[proteus_lives]

38. Bones.

Star Trek: DS9

Law & Order: All series.

Picket Fences

[nuxvomica]

54. I have the whole series on DVD

Which episode do you think he ripped Avatar from? My first guess was "Architects of Fear," one of my favorites.

[Phentex]

41. The Muppet Show...

I have three seasons so far! Wocka wocka!

[bedazzled]

52. i forgot the muppets - i have some, too, but not enough

i loved alice cooper and james colburm episodes
best.

[sarge43]

42. The Wire n/t

[LanternWaste]

45. Homefront, thirtysomething & Freaks and Geeks

Homefront, thirtysomething & Freaks and Geeks.


I have no pride :P

[Graybeard]

46. George Carlin's HBO Specials also "Have Gun Will Travel"

The 14 disc set "All My Stuff" contains all of Carlin's 13 HBO specials plus some extra interviews.

Only the first 3 seasons of the Richard Boone as Paladin series, "Have Gun Will Travel" are available on DVD, even though it ran from 1957 to 1963.

[tonysam]

67. Season 4 is supposed to be coming out next year. n/t

47. China Beach, but it's never been released

HSB, seasons 1-2 avaliable
