Do you have any DVD box sets?

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.

62

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+.

63

I assume the A&E Nero, not the awful ABC Nero or the bizarre Italian Nero.

Great show.

64

I don’t have the shelves in front of me at present, but here’s what I can conjure up from memory:

Mr Show

The Monkees

SCTV - the Shout Factory sets

Twin Peaks

Mad Men at least two seasons

Futurama at least two seasons

Twilight Zone blu-rays

Night Gallery blu-rays

at least two Simpsons seasons

Rose Of Versailles

Future Boy Conan blu-ray (I also have the laserdisc box set of this, but it’s in Japanese)

that ten-film Hammer blu-ray set that was super cheap on Deep Discount a few years back

six or seven MST3K box sets

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 blu-ray

Aim For The Ace blu-ray

A bunch of those Looney Tunes Golden Collections

the Tex Avery blu-rays vol 1-3

the first half of Yawara (they never finished the series, darn it)

both the 80s and the 00’s versions of Glass Mask (speaking of not finished)

Chargeman Ken (DVD, have not sprung for the blu-ray yet!)

Voltes V

Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy

Lone Wolf & Cub blu-ray set

65

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.

67

Just remembered I bought the Raiders box set (1-3)

Brian

68

Thank you, that is great to hear!

69

Complete Python, Mr. Show, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Kids in the Hall, Mighty Boosh!

Maybe a couple others I’ve forgotten. Never watch any of them.

70

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.

71

Correct. Perfect casting, I just wish for a few more episodes.

72

Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Wooster and Jeeves

73

DVDs? Ya whippersnappers, VHS box sets with their wide spines was where the real artwork was!

74

I probably have moire boxed sets than a lot of people have DVDs in total.

75

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.

76
