What tv series do you own all of on DVD? Or at least, all that have been released so far? What series do you own a significant percentage of, and are still working on?

For myself, I have the complete:

The Kids In The Hall

Mr. Show

Futurama (including the 4 direct to DVD movies)

The Office (UK) (including the special)

Arrested Development

Weeds (so far)  
Working on:

Southpark (I own nine of the first twelve seasons)

Trailer Park Boys (I own the original short movie {burned}, the first four seasons, plus the Christmas Special; though my sister currently has all of those discs at her house, plus she owns The Big Dirty)

Six Feet Under… a necessity since I got into it when A & E kinda sorta showed a few episodes of it. Enough to hook me on the entire series.

From your list, I have all of Mr. Show & Futurama, including the movies.

A a lot of Adult Swim stuff:  
Venture Brothers, all available so far  
Home Movies  
Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Also:  
Family Guy  
Sex & the City  
Firefly (not that you can buy just part of it, since it’s only one season anyway)  
Scrubs  
MST3K  
Invader Zim

I think I have more, but I can’t think of them right now.

Working on:  
Nip/Tuck (though I may not end up buying more, I have the first 3 seasons)  
L-Word

Would Like:  
X-Files - I have none, so I’m holding out for the boxed set  
Carnivale - which, for some reason, is particularly expensive  
Torchwood - again, expensive
