Shows You Love But Haven't Purchased Yet - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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.

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

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.

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.
