> I was debating whether it would be threadshitting to say I don’t have any (as I think it’s too expensive), but then I realized I do have one: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy TV show from the BBC. There we six episodes, and all fit on one disk. It cost no more than a DVD movie.

Ack, I have that as well.

I have most of BSG, new, but was not happy with the .5 versions they did and so didn’t get 4.0 and 4.5. Further, at the time, I wasn’t happy with 1/3 of the ending, so wasn’t sure I wanted it, then I heard the writers didn’t have a plan and that bugged me. I need to re-watch what I have at some point and see if it makes me want to have it.

I also have the complete Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes.  
Sherlock - current but also on netflix, which I have, so not sure if I will get it.

Luther is a show that I liked and watched series one on netflix but haven’t watched two yet.

I was getting Dexter but after season four, I was eh about it, and am behind. Same for Weeds.

We have had others but got rid of them as things we wouldn’t watch again, like Sex and the City.

I think we only own Band of Brothers, Firefly, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, and The Prisoner. I know I’ve got an Animaniacs set but think that might just be a season 1 set. We also are a few seasons behind on South Park, Family Guy, and The Venture Brothers.

I bought a friend the MASH box set for her birthday last year. I thought she was going to plotz.

If they’re in [this box set](http://www.amazon.com/Martinis-Medicine-Complete-Collection/dp/B000HT3P5Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1337700650&sr=1-1), yes. I was led to believe it had _everything_.

Looks like they are. I bought all the of them individually. Probably should have waited for the box set and saved some money.

I had to re-buy a few series when my wife and I split up, and waiting for box sets definitely saved me a lot of scratch. It also helps that I have a history of discovering shows I love in the middle of their final season, so I’ve learned to just cool my jets. I did, thankfully, decide early on that I wasn’t going to buy any Harry Potter films on DVD until what I’ve been calling for 10 years now “the inevitable 20-disc special edition box set” comes out.

I’ve been burned twice, though: _Larry Sanders_ and _Barney Miller_. It’s starting to look like _Bob Newhart_ and _King of the Hill_ may go this way, too.

- indicates the show is still in production, or at least still has DVDs to release

\*The Simpsons  
\*Futurama  
\*Family Guy  
\*American Dad  
\*The Cleveland Show  
\*Red Dwarf (there is a new season in production)  
The Prisoner  
Monty Python’s Flying Circus  
Hogan’s Heroes  
The Larry Sanders Show  
I Love Lucy  
The Sopranos  
The Dick Van Dyke Show  
Chef!  
To the Manor Born  
A Bit of Fry & Laurie  
Blackadder (all four series at once)  
Rocky & His Friends/The Bullwinkle Show (released under the title “Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends,” presumably for legal reasons; the early-1990s R&B-themed pinball machine has the same name)  
George of the Jungle (the original series - not including the newer one)  
Absolutely Fabulous (at least I think I have all of them)  
The Ren & Stimpy Show (including the “Adult Party Cartoon” episodes)  
The Powerpuff Girls  
Invader ZIM

If you include one-season “series”:  
The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy  
The Jetsons (the 1962 episodes - I consider the later ones a separate series)  
Top Cat

I’m still holding out hope that the final 24 episodes of Animaniacs get released.

Everything \*\*MST3K \*\*that has been commercially released (24 volumes of 4 episodes each, plus a half-dozen single episodes), plus a few dozen bootlegs.
