I dont mind paying a little more for single season shows I Really like,example- Doris Day Show.
Shows I like but can wait awhile I will get the box set, example- Gomer Pyle when it is on sale.
It all boils down to how bad you want it and if you can afford it.

Good luck with your collecting

The thing that "they get you" with is releasing exclusive content / bonus features on the complete series set after releasing all of the individual seasons.

(They also do this w/ the Blu-ray releases of shows too)

The fans will be more eager to look for a complete series set if it has things on it not released anywhere else.

That is why I didn't buy any of "LOST" because I knew at one point they will be putting out a complete series set w/ exclusive content.

For "The Shield" I did get the complete series set after getting all of the individual seasons.

I traded them with a friend, he gave me a lot of DVDs that he didn't want anymore and I gave him "The Shield" seasons.

I'm thinking about doing the same thing with "24".

I have everything released to date and I may pick up the complete series set and look for someone who wants the season releases. I got them as gifts so it's different than me getting them myself.

(only one I won't give away is a season release that I got autographed from a couple of people who appeared on the show)

So it is really about how much you care about having everything, the money, and also the space to store it.
