What Is Your Top Favorite TV Series in DVD?!

[FoxGranadaChuck]

The question is quite simple: What is your top favorite TV series that is available in DVD? The TV series in question can come from any country around the globe. In fact, mine comes from the UK.

My favorite TV series available in DVD is Midsomer Murders, especially the first 7 seasons. After that, it loses a bit of its luster. Even missing the luster of the first few years, Midsomer is still strong in my book.

What say you?

[melinda]

Friends .... :)

[Dreamy]

The Office ;)

[(R)Lionidas]

Southpark. Seasons 7, 8, 9 & 10.

[Gaby77]

Blackadder. Especially 2-4.

LOST- great show, though wish a few more answers were forthcoming...

arrested development by far...

although i just finished watching the V and V: The Final Battle miniseries... i only vaguely remembered them from my childhood and i got to say they hold up pretty well.

[PhilRocksinOHIO.]

Homicide - Life on the Street. Sensational acting from beginning to end.

Close second is Due South.

[Dr. Funkenstein]

Homicide - Life on the Street. Sensational acting from beginning to end.

Amazing show. Didn't realize it was out on DVD...may need to look that up for a rainy day.

Also The Office, Friends, Family Guy, and Gilmore Girls.

[Dr. Funkenstein]

Oh...Red Dwarf.

Still trying to find it HERE on DVD...but I've seen the series on VHS years ago and it still makes me laugh when I think about it.

[ogibillm]

[Darkwind]

The Tudors. Good sex scenes the first season. They have an interesting take on Henry VIII.

We've only managed to get through the first season and we're starting the second. Hopefully we'll get caught up before they start the third in April.

I don't want to put you on ignore :naughty:

alright, i'll make it up to you.

netflix has every red dwarf episode included in their 'watch instantly' portion - and you can rent the dvds from them as well.

i haven't made it all the way through series vi, but i'm working on it

[Gaby77]

Oh...Red Dwarf.

Still trying to find it HERE on DVD...but I've seen the series on VHS years ago and it still makes me laugh when I think about it.

NOW we're talking!!!

I LOVE that show, and miss it dearly.

[PhilRocksinOHIO.]

Amazing show. Didn't realize it was out on DVD...may need to look that up for a rainy day.

Look on Amazon.com if you want to get them. You pay a hell of a lot less there than say a book or video store. The highest level I paid was $25.00 per season. All seven seasons are available. You won't regret it.

[Dr. Funkenstein]

So decent looking chicks but terrible acting make your list of Top Favorite TV Series? Really???

Decent?

Ouch.

And the acting's not terrible. I mean...it's no "Gossip Girl", but it's easily digestible and it's on my "take one for the team" list. Anything I can do to get the wife off my back on football Sundays that ALSO gives me the hotness of Lauren Graham is worth the trouble.

Darling...talking fast does not equal not terrible acting :))

And the daughter...needs to learn how to 1. Invoke inflection and 2. Open her mouth to talk.

It makes my "I watch to make fun of it" list. Come on....it is just a bad bad show geared towards teenagers who long to be "best buddies" with their mother :))

You are better than this D-Funk!!!! :))

To each their own...I still like you :hug:

You've got your angst-ridden teen hump-fest, I've got my fast-talking quirk-fest. We each like something the other thinks sucks (need I reference our Supertramp/Ben Folds disagreements?).

I figure we can meet at Saved By The Bell, Freaks & Geeks, old-school 90210/Melrose Place and work our way out from there, right?

[khigh]

It's a 3 way tie between Twin Peaks, Freaks and Geeks, and Sex and the City.

I really need to get Twin Peaks on DVD. David Duchovny in drag!

I will just note that I did not put my angst ridden teen hump-fest on my Favorite TV Show DVD list ;)


Have you finally seen all of Freaks and Geeks? If so...you really are after my heart, aren't you? :))

And I will say this...they sure do not make teen dramas like they used to, do they? I like Gossip Girl alot...but damn....I miss the old 90210 days...good thing they show it on SoapNet!

[super cool ski instructor]

You really do!

Twin Peaks is my favorite tv show ever!

Fair enough.

I'm still trying to get my hands on the last two DVD's of it. My video stores never seem to have it.

They really don't. 90210 was the **** back in the day. I died a little when they blew up Dylan's wife.

[gwhughes]

24, it's the only ones I've bought.

So far so good. I appreciate awkwardness.

I wished they had blown Brenda up instead.

[super cool ski instructor]

Oh no you di'int!!!!!!!!

Brenda made that show...it all fell apart when she left...you and me are gonna rumble!!!!!

I'll give it a look.

[Dr. Funkenstein]

Oh no you di'int!!!!!!!!

Brenda made that show...it all fell apart when she left...you and me are gonna rumble!!!!!

Oh stop it.

Once Brenda was gone, it opened the door for 90210 to become all it could be...the trashy soap opera that prime time deserved!

Once Valerie showed up, the show really took off. There may never be a better episode than "Donna Martin Graduates! Donna Martin Graduates!", but they enjoyed a LOOOONG run of solid unintentional comedy for the six years after Brenda left.

Even you probably secretly wondered if it was possible for Donna's breasts to actually move or if they were stuck there in some sort of weird suspended animation. :razz:

Wow Ski,I usually agree with you on things but I think Doc is on the mark on this one. BH 90210 was better AB(after Brenda)

[super cool ski instructor]

Maybe I should change my User Title to Team Brenda :))

Come on...she was teh first bitch of Beverly Hills...for without her being the trailblazer Valerie would just be the potsmoker who slept with all of the guys.


How can you forget all of Brenda's awesomeness when she found out about Dylan and Kelly?


And D-Funk...as for Donna's breasts...well...I always thought they were kinda pathetic...even when I was in middle school :))

Ya know Ski I love a good bitch as much as the next...well bitch but Brenda just left me cold. I think cos I knew she was not acting.:)) A good bitch never lets you know she is working her game. Brenda was too much.

[Liberty1980]

has anyone mentioned x-files?? that was an awesome series.

[Dr. Funkenstein]

The problem is that Brenda went from needy and annoying and whiny to bitchy...almost instantaneously.


How can you forget all of Brenda's awesomeness when she found out about Dylan and Kelly?

Fair enough...she had her one shining moment. But outside of that I felt like she was always expendable. Sort of like Scott and Kelly's mom after Erin was born.

And D-Funk...as for Donna's breasts...well...I always thought they were kinda pathetic...even when I was in middle school :))

Donna had the first "thumb in a pound of ground beef" cleavage I ever saw. My sisters and I had a running pool to see if they'd ever move. I had season 8...no one ever got paid. Those bad boys stayed put even when she got pushed down a flight of concrete stairs!

[super cool ski instructor]

Okay...Brenda had one mroe shining moment...who can forget Brenda vs. Emily Valentine? :))


I just like the hienous bitches of TV....loved Amanda Woodward on Melrose, Blair Warner on Facts of Life, Sue Ellen on Dallas, and to be honest I wanted to be Alexis Carrington when I was younger :))

The only think oozing from Ginger was the vodka and whatever hallucinogenic berry she managed to find on that island. No one can look that dazed for that long without "assistance" :naughty:

MASH and the new Doctor Who series. The only downside is that BBC shows on DVD are so damned expensive.

MASH and the new Doctor Who series. The only downside is that BBC shows on DVD are so damned expensive.


The good thing about most BBC shows is that more often than not, they come in multiple DVD sets. Thus, the cost of them is mitigated to a point. It also helps if you have a Barnes & Noble membership card. In this scenario, a DVD set that would normally cost $60 costs just under $50!

[FoxGranadaChuck]

I am also quite fond of the first season of Inspector Lewis.

[khigh]

has anyone mentioned x-files?? that was an awesome series.

All three of Chris Carter's series. The X-files, Millennium, and even the short lived Lone Gunmen comedy!

Okay, I'm back

Sure...Gilligan might get a pity lay, but the Skipper? Mr. Howell? Come on. The Professor was the only viable option unless you count the Harlem Globetrotters.

I've now officially put too much thought into the sexual exploits of characters on a show whose last episode aired 10 years before I was born.

South Park and House.

South Park and House.

Great shows both

I watch House religiously when it's first-run and there are enough re-runs on USA and random local networks that I don't need to buy the DVD's though.

Same with Friends and Seinfeld...I never have to worry about them not being there.
