Essential TV Boxsets

edited January 2023 in General Chat
What are your essential TV series DVD boxsets? Personally, I can think of tonnes I want to get hold of.

I have: Shameless Series 1, Family Guy Season 1 and 4, Red Dwarf 1-4, All of Friends on Video

I want: The rest of Shameless and Family Guy, Brass Eye, The Day Today, The Office, This Life, The OC, 24, Twin Peaks (all of it, since they only decided to release the first half on DVD for some reason), The Kingdom (Lars von Trier - don't think it exists on DVD yet), Heimat (if it wasn't £52), and I wouldn't mind checking out The West Wing and The Sopranos because I've seen the odd episode and loved them, but never watched them all the way through.

What DVD boxsets does everyone else want?

    I've got all I need really, Peep Show, The Royle Family and Cold Feet.

    Waiting for the next King of the Hill season to come out, think it's in the next couple of weeks actually.

    Well I won't list loads and can't say about many but I know one that is essential viewing.

    Action, romance, drama, violence, love, humour, sex, coolness, great writing, intelligence, top notch acting and never a dull moment....


    Angel Season 5

    We have the Futurama 1-4, Red Dwarf 1-however many seasons it was (not mine!) and CSI 1-5 box sets as well as season 1 of Scrubs. I also have Desperate Housewives season 1.

    Would like to start collecting House boxsets and the rest of Scrubs. And PowerPuff Girls.

    EDIT: How could I forget? I also have complete Friends.

    Friends (Everyone loves Friends!)
    Band of Brothers (The most awesome TV series ever made -put's all hollywood war movies to shame)
    Sharpe (Don't laugh it was brilliant!)
    Blackadder Goes Forth (THE ultimate comedy series)

    I wish I had the entire boxset of friends, like, every single episode! it would be well good and i'd just live in my room and exist in a little friends-type world until i'd watched them all...hmm!

    Shameless Series 1-3 are essential i think, as is The OC Season 1-3, friggin awesome programmes!

    I've just bought Scrubs Series 4, the newest one, and I'm planning on buying 1-3 when i get chance, I've only just realised how good it is!

    I'd love the Dawsons Creek Boxsets too.

    Ahhh to lose yourself in good tv.

    Yay dawson's creek :blush: I borowed them all from my sister though, took me a year and a half to get through them all.

    Lost, Cold Feet and Sex and the City are the only others which I have box sets of.

    Oh I forgot about that. £17.99 for 3 series. Might go for that. I've also found Spaced for £5 a series, which I never watched, so I might get the first series of that and see if it's as good as it's supposed to be. And I'm also gonna get This Life series 1 for £8. That outta do me for starters.

    There's one for about £60, all episodes, but i'd wait a while for the full set to come out as there were 2 specials over Christmas, the last of which was the last VoD ever.

    I've got Green Wing 1&2, and Futurama 1-4. I wish I had Friends and Sex and the City - I've watched a few of my housemate's box sets as I didn't get into it while it was on TV and I can feel myself becoming addicted :D I'd like Dinnerladies as RubberSkin said, that's great.

    Ooo, sooooo many I'd like :D

    I have a subscription with lovefilm, so I have loads on there too, such as Ally McBeal. The ones I will buy eventually are: Friends, Sex and the City, Vicar of Dibley and Desperate Housewives.

    I already have all of Dawson's Creek and Cold Feet on dvd :hyper:

    I was going to say that, but does it count as a TV boxset?

    Otherwise, Band Of Brothers, whoever mentioned it before, yes it is fucking amazing!
    Friends and Futurama.

    If you look around you can get it dirt cheap. I saw series 1 for 19.99 and series 2 for 24.99 in virgin and HMV the other day, i got both in a box set from Silverscreen for 9.99 !

    If you count in Clone Wars, I guess it does?

    I've got Peep Show and it's fantastic. And if you can get all 3 series on DVD for £17.99 then it's a no brainer.

    Has anyone watched Monkey Dust? I have this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Monkey-Dust-1-Simon-Greenall/dp/B0002CH914/sr=8-1/qid=1168823122/ref=pd_ka_1/202-9659730-9823802?ie=UTF8&s=dvd and would recommend it. It's very dark twisted animated comedy.

    Family Guy is good too.

    The Sopranos series 1-6, The Wire series 1&2 and Deadwood 1&2 are my essentials. I honestly don't know what I'd do without them :razz: Oh dear, how did I forget the complete Father Ted. I will never, ever get sick of it!

    I'd love to start a Family Guy collection but I'm just too tight.

    You need to pick up some OZ box sets based on that list Briggi, you'll love it if you haven't already seen it.
