View Full Version : Shows You Love But Haven't Purchased Yet
Skywalker 08-28-2008, 09:31 PM Are there any shows that you love and for some reason haven't bought on DVD yet? Either because it was too expensive or you just forgot about it or the show airs in syndication all the time so you didn't see any point in buying it, etc.
Everybody Loves Raymond is one of my favorite shows, but I have never bought any of the DVDs because the show is on 10 times a day and I've seen all the eps at least 5-6 times so I didn't see much point in buying the DVD sets. I plan on buying a season set of ELR real soon though.
Brian Damage 08-28-2008, 09:39 PM The Odd Couple---for starters
Mr. Television 08-28-2008, 09:41 PM The Shield. I would love to get that show but it is too expensive. Maybe now that the show is going off the air, the price will come down.
TV_Fan 08-28-2008, 09:46 PM Star Trek (The Original Series)-I don't care how many extras are on the set or how much restoration went into-it's too freakin expensive. Same goes for The Twilight Zone (original series)-too expensive. I love both shows and plan to buy them on DVD someday when I can find them really cheap.
rsandcm1 08-28-2008, 10:13 PM The Drew Carey Show- When I wanted to get it, it was airing on ION. Now that they are not airing it anymore, I can't seem to find it in stores.
Boy Meets World- I wanted it for a while but it was expensive. Now it is not in production anymore.
ryan423 08-28-2008, 11:07 PM Seinfeld - If I buy this, I wanna save up and go all in for the complete series.
The King of Queens - I have yet to complete the series. I only have season 7 thus far.
Family Guy
I just got into Spin City and its easily become one of my favorites. When that begins releasing in November, I'll be picking it up;)
BensonFan 08-28-2008, 11:13 PM Twilight Zone....
one of these days I'll get it. :)
Tubehead 08-28-2008, 11:22 PM i was thinking about buying home inprovment. it comes on 20 times a day. so i just starting taping my favorite epsidoes. i also would like to buy sanford and son. i might buy the frist seasons. i also might buy gomer pyle one day or buy the odd couple.
Schmoopie 08-28-2008, 11:36 PM I still want to get seasons 5 and 6 of Monk, and also Seasons 5-7 of Full House. Kind of pricey, so I'm waiting for... well, whenever. I'd also like to have Square Pegs-The Complete Series.

veggie-tari-jenn 08-29-2008, 02:25 AM King of Queens
Everybody Loves Raymond....
waiting for a sale:)
comedyfreak 08-29-2008, 03:42 AM Frasier-I got into the show through reruns and I'm hooked, haven't bought any of the seasons yet.
The Odd Couple
Gomer Pyle
Happy Days
Laverne & Shirley
repeatshistory 08-29-2008, 05:20 AM Farscape - far FAR too expensive.
Star Trek: The Next Generation, just haven't gotten to it yet.
Star Trek DS9, same reason as above. Most of the trek series have dropped to a reasonable price, but there are a LOT of seasons of my favorites, and buying all of them becomes cost prohibitive.
Mad About You, just haven't gotten around to getting them. Too much stuff I haven't watched yet that I already have.
The Twilight Zone
Perfect Strangers
Most of this is just a question of time and money...
JulieSomoski 08-29-2008, 07:39 PM The New Adventures of Old Christine - I've been watching it for awhile on CBS, but never picked up the DVD's. Season 1 you can really find anywhere, but season 2 is only at Amazon I believe.
Happy Days - watched the show as a kid in the 70's and in reruns, but I never bought a season of it on DVD. I just don't have much interest in it anymore, though.
Perfect Strangers - I wasn't a huge fan of this show, but when it came out on DVD, I thought I'd buy it cheap and give it another try, but I never did. I think I'd be more enthused if Warner would release more seasons if it, but that isn't happening, so what's the point?
dakert 08-30-2008, 02:40 PM I think I Have all the shows I Love.
Now I am waiting to purchase shows I liked, like Odd Couple, Hawaii 5-0, Gomer Pyle etc... I will purchase these when they are released as a box set.
Flinstones box set is being released for around 89.00 or so --I will be picking that one up.
TV DVD Fan 08-30-2008, 09:05 PM For those of you on the fence about The Odd Couple, which is quite a number of you, give it a shot! I was always kind of "eh" about the show when it aired on TV, but when the DVD came out, I thought I'd give it another chance. The first season has great extras but really isn't the strongest season of the show. Starting with season two (with the live audience), the whole dynamic of the show changed--- for the better. Tony and Jack were always more comfortable with a live audience, and you can tell that when you compare the first season with the other four seasons. Seasons two on are pure comic gold. For Gomer Pyle fans, only try it if you can stand 30 episodes a season of Gomer's annoying Southern drawl. I think it's a lot worse on this show than it was on TAGS. Since he wasn't in the spotlight on TAGS, he didn't really try too hard with the accent--- but in his own show, boy did he try too hard with that accent! It's still a good show, though, especially if you liked Andy Griffith. Same kind of humor.
Perfect Strangers--- opposite story of THE ODD COUPLE for me--- I liked it alot on TV, but on DVD, I'm not too thrilled with it.
Happy Days--- pretty cool show to own on DVD--- especially if you like nostalgia--- and before the 'Fonzie Show' began.
Frasier is hilarious. Season One was a pretty blind buy for me--- I never watched it on TV, but I loved Cheers.
Wreckless 08-30-2008, 09:10 PM The Mary Tyler Moore Show- any season. Saved By The Bell+The College Years, forget the new class http://www.southernstylebeatz.com/users/46/92/87/smiles/808971.gif
Both great shows I need to get my hands on...lol
Heidi Dawn 09-01-2008, 12:51 PM I haven't bought 'All in the Family' or 'The Jeffersons' yet, I think I'll wait to see if Sony ever releases a complete series set.
I also haven't bought 'The Cosby Show', but I think I'll buy the complete series set coming out in November.
phoebe7165 09-01-2008, 02:52 PM Family Guy
A little too expensive for me, I'm waiting for the price to go down!!
tanquant 09-02-2008, 09:58 AM I really want Leave It to Beaver. I anxiously waiting another season of Perfect Strangers. How long does it take for one season to another?
bluthree 09-03-2008, 08:50 AM I did not rush out and buy Charles in Charge season 2 when it came out way back in Nov last year.Or season 3 when it came out. The reason was that when season 1 came out I was excited as this was one of my favorite shows when I was a little kid. I remember buying it and rushing home to watch it. Well after watching 3 episodes I was bored. I thought the show was boring and I could not stand The Pembrokes. The kids was just to wierd. I could not stand the kid that was wearing masks all the time. Well anyways season 2 came out and I was afraid to buy it as I thought I would feel the same way.Well anyways just recently I was looking for something to watch and I decided to watch some more episodes of Charles in Charge.So I decided to watch the bonus episode on disc 3 Amityville and I was shock I thought the episode was alot of fun.And I said to myself now this is the show that I loved when I was a child. The Powells was way better then the boring Pembrokes.So after watching I went out and got season 2 and 3 of Charles in Charge. I thought Sarah,Jamie,and Adam was so mutch better then the Pembrokes kids. And I love the kids mom. The only thing I did not understand was why Buddy got so dumb?but hey I had no problem with that.I like watching dumb people on TV-Chrissy Snow,Kelly Bundy,and the hit movie about dumb people Dumb and Dumber. Buddy was the funniest on the show in my opinion. Well anyways I'm glad that I finaly bought season 2 and 3 of Charles in Charge and I cant wait to get the last 2 seasons on DVD.
ekkostar 10-19-2008, 06:41 PM Dave's World and Profit are two I rented from Netflix that I would like to buy, but since money is tight right now I doubt I'll be able to buy them until later or if I find them on discount at Wal-Mart.
Family Guy
A little too expensive for me, I'm waiting for the price to go down!!
Fox usually reduces the price to $20 a year after the release date. Universal does the same thing and I'm waiting for S3 and S4 of Sliders to get the treatment!

I felt the same way at first but never has this show looked any better, especially seasons 4-9 which were remastered in hd. The extras were always great and commentaries were always entertaining. A Great buy for any ELR fan!
rusty7010 05-17-2010, 09:18 PM Farscape, season 1
Adamantium 05-17-2010, 11:14 PM Even if a show I loved was on TV all the time I would still own the DVDs. If for nothing else to say that I have that series in my DVD home library.

gilligan fanatic 10-23-2012, 08:29 AM Since this thread already existed figured I would revive it instead of starting a new one
Shout released a lot of Nickeldeon shows the last two years and I have only managed to get Hey Arnold and Rocko. I wouldn't mind picking these up, just haven't yet.
Angry Beavers
Real Monsters
CatDog
Hey Dude
Another show that has been on my wishlist for a while is the Flintstones. I have a lot of the HB DVD sets, just not any of the Flintstones.

I love the old Roger Moore british tv show "The Saint", but so far there has not been a comprehensive collection available in the US, and the UK collection is too expensive for me right now.
Other that that, I pretty much have gobbled up all the shows I really like that are available on DVD.

Regulus 10-23-2012, 08:10 PM You're going to :angryfire HATE Me for this, but I got The Addams Family and The Munsters for :D FREE :D a couple of years ago. I accumulated several Target and Wal-Mart cards that the Auto Dealers give away during their promotions, then used them to "Relieve" the stores of these two series. :lol:

dangfish 12-07-2012, 08:06 AM Here's my dilemma; I was collecting DVD sets for several shows (X Files, Rockford Files & 24 to just name three) but do not yet have all of the seasons for these. Now that I have Netflix Streaming, however, and can watch every episode of these shows on my TV whenever I wish, I'm having a really hard time shelling out the cash for the DVDs now. My collector's spirit is really being tested!
Regulus 12-07-2012, 09:49 AM I am waiting for all the :santa2:"Santa Cash":santa: I invariably get from my Relatives this time from the year. As soon as I open the cards on Christmas Eve I will log on to "The Big River" and order away! :D

OH Nuts! 12-18-2012, 08:49 AM Here's my dilemma; I was collecting DVD sets for several shows (X Files, Rockford Files & 24 to just name three) but do not yet have all of the seasons for these. Now that I have Netflix Streaming, however, and can watch every episode of these shows on my TV whenever I wish, I'm having a really hard time shelling out the cash for the DVDs now. My collector's spirit is really being tested!
I know what you mean. There are many great shows I'm quite fond of, but space and other venues have kept me from buying them. I either have all, or many seasons/eps of the shows I REALLY LOVE like I Love Lucy, All In The Family, Betwitched and The Adv. Of Ozzie and Harriet. Other shows, in the tier directly below "the masterpieces" are Happy Days, Family Ties, Growing Pains, Leave It To Beaver-and of course there are more but these are just off the top of my head. Some, like LITB are on Antenna TV, which I receive, so I just burn eps to DVD and have them that way. I'm not buying any more seasons or eps of anything (well almost anymore!) except for eps of The Adv. Of Ozzie and Harriet I can't access through You Tube or Antenna TV. Truth be told, I have enough stuff to literally watch for the rest of my life - but when I've seen seasons of Happy Days for $10 I really do have to restrain myself and remember how nmany DVDs I have already.
So I guess what I do is keep reminding myself that these nostalgic shows really seem to becoming more accessible for free, or will really get marked down even more as blue rays take over more and DVDs get less valued. I will pretty much not buy anything else until I really go through what I have and purge stuff. And Lord knows when that's going to be!
gidgetgrape 12-18-2012, 12:22 PM I need the last two seasons of "The Lucy Show" and I haven't purchased any of the "Here's Lucy" seasons (so not like me!) because I'm hoping MPI will put them into one nice boxset, the way they did with "The Doris Day Show." I would also love to get both seasons of "Car 54."
