Do you have any DVD box sets?

And if so of what genre?

Relevant to a discussion in a particular show thread but that discussion is not relevant to the question so no link. Plu1bus if you care to know though.

I just dropped the last of them off at Goodwill (I, Claudius, Fawlty Towers, and Futurama). All were 20+ years old.

I have several.
A Lord of the Rings Blue Ray Trilogy.
Complete Monty Python’s Flying Circus TV series
A 10 pack of Mel Brooks movies.
The Godfather Trilogy.
Several that are the season packages for a show. I think I have every season of Night Court, not sure if that counts. It is 9 multi-disc DVD sets.
First 4 seasons of Get Smart.
Also a complete original run of the Animaniacs.

There are probably a few others.

Rockford Files
Monkees
Parks & Rec
Psych
Deadwood
Indiana Jones
The Office
Veronica Mars
Back To The Future
Beatles Anthology

I am not surprised to see that you and I both have these two. :smiley:

I also have:

  • Various boxed sets of the original Star Wars trilogy
  • Firefly
  • Soap
  • WKRP In Cincinnati
  • Farscape
  • Stargate SG-1
  • Emergency!

Not many, compared to the number of individual DVDs I bought. What I can remember, though I haven’t watched them in years. (I’ve rewatched some of the shows, just not from DVD.)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Greg the Bunny
Firefly
Dark Angel
Beastmaster (found it cheap, don’t judge me)
My So-Called Life
(Probably a couple of more that don’t come to mind.)

(I have literally hundreds of complete seasons of shows in digital format, just not as DVD boxes.)

The most elaborate is Buffy, which is 39 DVDs in a big box. That one was bought at one of those unannounced sales that lasted just a couple of hours that Amazon used to have, paid $40 when at the time it sold for a couple of hundred.

I’ve kept several box sets, even though I haven’t had a player connected to my TV for quite some time. I’ve ditched the cases and put the discs in wallets, but I still have a portable Blu-ray player and am happy to continue hanging onto the physical media for the following shows:

  • All Creatures Great and Small (1978) - drama
  • Angel - paranormal
  • Black Books - comedy
  • Buffy The Vampire Slayer - paranormal
  • Firefly - scifi
  • The Guild - comedy
  • The Pretender - drama
  • Sports Night - comedy
  • Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - drama
  • The West Wing - drama
  • The Wire - drama

Spaced (comedy)

Freaks & Geeks (comedy)

Monty Python’s Flying Circus (sketch comedy)

The Venture Brothers (animated comedy)

The Kids in the Hall (sketch comedy)

The Muppet Show (puppet sketch comedy)

I’ve been in to torrenting since way back so everything I have is pre-2000. Except Venture Bros which I got for the commentary.

I got seasons 1, 2 and 3 of Corner Gas on DVD as a gift.

I think I also have some DVD collections I picked up for cheap, like “The Terry Gilliam Collection” (with 12 Monkeys, Brazil, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, etc.).

10
  • Northern Exposure
  • Studio Ghibli
  • LOTR
  • The Young Ones
11

Westerns
Randolph Scott Collection
James Stewart 6 movie Western Collection
Various movies
James Stewart 4 movie Collection

There are less well known movies that would be hard to find in single dvd’s.

12

I have a shelf unit about 10’ wide that is all boxed sets of TV shows. All different genres - SF, detective, comedy shows, and assorted others. Offhand, in addition to most of Star Trek, Stargate, Babylon 5, Barney Miller, Dick van Dyke, Rockford Files, Get Smart, The Man From Uncle, the Equalizer, Benny Hill, and Peter Whimsy.

13

I have the complete series of The Sopranos on DVD. I have it because I didn’t subscribe to HBO when it was in its original run, I wanted to watch this show that everyone was saying was one of the best shows on TV, and it wasn’t on Netflix (this was back in the days when Netflix had nearly everything, and it was the only streaming service I subscribed to). So I figured the best way to see it was to ask for the box set for Christmas. I suppose I could just give it to Goodwill now; if I ever want to rewatch it I have HBO Max now.

I’ve also got Futurama and Pinky and the Brain, purchased back before streaming video was even a thing. They didn’t even sell them as full seasons back then – the Futurama set is just labled “Volume 1” and the first 13 episodes of season one on three discs. Pinky and the Brain is labeled “Volume 2”.

14

So those aren’t physical media sets, then…?

15

The ones I listed are physical media sets that I have. Torrenting means I download files and store them digitally. So any post-2000 shows I have enjoyed enough to keep around as a collection have been in digital format on a hard drive.

16

Chiming in to say “none.” (I hope that’s not considered a threadshit, as t he question was ‘do you have any..”)

17

TV (complete series unless otherwise indicated)
Moonlighting
My Name Is Earl
Green Acres
The Prisoner
The Avengers (Mrs. Peel era)
Monty Python’s Flying Circus
Home Movies
Lost in Space (original series)
Twin Peaks (first two seasons)
Deadwood

Movies
Criterion box set of 39 Ingmar Bergman films (purchased in a recent half-off sale)
Criterion Stan Brakhage collection
Rambo, box set of the first three movies
A box of a half-dozen Jean-Luc Godard films

Definitely not. Probably should have put up a poll. I’m frankly surprised that so many people do! And that comedy is up there with sci fi.

19

A probably incomplete list of boxed sets rather than individually collected movies1:

  • The original Star Wars trilogy

  • The original Die Hard trilogy

  • The Lethal Weapon series of films

  • The original Jurassic Park trilogy plus Jurassic World

  • Northern Exposure the complete series (each boxed set is one season though)

  • Downton Abbey the series (don’t have the movies)

  • How Clean Is Your House? the American series

  • As Time Goes By the complete series.

  • King of the Hill the complete series (each set is one season)

  • Home Improvement the complete series (same as above, each season is one boxed set)

  • I think my wife has the Castle series

  • I think I have The Mentalist complete series

All my DVDs are in a box buried in the back of my garage; we haven’t had them readily accessible for 5 or 6 years now which is why we don’t have the newer Jurassic World movies or the Downton Abbey movies. Thus the above list is going strictly by memory. I’m sure I’m forgetting a few.

1For instance we have all of the James Bond movies but we collected them individually rather than as boxed sets even though boxed sets were available at the time. So I don’t count those.

I only have two - Lost and Babylon 5. Which is coming in handy today since I had my oak tree trimmed and they broke my cable wire. I’ve been rewatching Babylon 5 off and on, so I guess I’ll get back to that since the AT&T tech can’t come until tomorrow evening.
