I’ve got a few of them. Some Ken Burns’ documentaries (_Vietnam_ and _Baseball_), a Mel Brooks collection, a Robert Altman collection, and a few other movie collections that I cannot think of right now. Tom Hanks’ _From the Earth to the Moon_ is in my collection, as well as the complete original _Twilight Zone_, the complete _Sabrina the Teenage Witch_, the complete _WKRP in Cincinnati_, and _Arthur Hailey’s Hotel_, among others. For some TV shows, I have complete seasons, but not complete series. Still, they came in boxes: _Get Smart_, _The Love Boat_, _Frasier_, _Just Shoot Me_, and the 1960s _Batman_ come to mind. Then, there are the ones that did not come in a box set, but are complete series anyway, that I collected over time: _Lou Grant_, _The Handmaid’s Tale_, and _Highway to Heaven_ are a few examples. ---

I did when I first got it. Watched it twice. Annoyingly they only released half of the series and didn’t follow it through with the complete season 2 and 3. I adore **The Gummi Bears** , it was one of my favourite 80s animated shows. I even wrote a spec script for a Gummi Bears movie. I am happy that the complete series is now on _Disney+_. ---

I have all of: Babylon 5 Battlestar Galactica (reboot) The Prisoner LOTR (normal and deluxe) Game of Thrones (yes, even the last season…) But all were bought separately (e.g. I bought each season of B5 in a separate purchase) I may have bought all of The Prisoner at once, but each “box” has only 2 DVDs I do have all of Firefly which is one box, so unfortunately is a boxed set.

I just recalled the last box set of DVDs I ever purchased. It was **Batman** (1966) about ten years ago. I think I loaned it to someone and never got it back. ---

> [@Mavis\_Topholese](#): > > Twilight Zone blu-rays > > Night Gallery blu-rays I mentioned that I have many (but not all) Twilight Zone episodes, so not really a box set. I have even fewer Night Gallery episodes but it’s worth mentioning for anyone interested that this is a worthy follow-on to “The Twilight Zone”, each episode also introduced by Rod Serling. I’ve long been impressed by the pilot episode that aired in 1969 that contained three stories, all three written by Serling: “Eyes”, starring Joan Crawford and directed by Steven Spielberg, “Escape Route” about a fugitive Nazi who faces self-inflicted justice by supernatural powers, and “The Cemetery” starring Roddy McDowall, about a man who is haunted after murdering his uncle. This is great classic television! Some of the other episodes I’ve seen are also excellent. ---

Night Gallery episodes are kind of all over the map, some are terrific, others are stupendously awful (the one about the moon astronauts building the giant… no, I won’t spoil it. It’s dumber than you think) but they’re all entertaining, and a lot of them have the benefit of being really short. ---
