I’ve recently developed an obsession with watching TV series on DVD.
I love that there are no commercials, which means I can watch a 30 minute show in about 20 minutes or an hour long episode in about 45 minutes. Never mind what that says about how much programming we’re actually getting on TV these days. And I love that I don’t have to wait an entire week to see what happens next.
But mostly I love that this gives me a chance to fall in love with TV series I might have missed (probably because my DVR was already jam packed) when they first aired. Because what I need more than anything in life is another TV obsession. Clearly.
TV Series Worth Watching on DVD
| Sex and The City | |
 The Complete Series (Collector’s Giftset)  |
 The Complete First Season  |
This was the very first TV series I watched all together on DVD. I holed up in my room and watched TV until 4 in the morning because I just couldn’t get enough Carrie and Big. I don’t know how I missed the craziness when Sex and the City was first running – I probably didn’t have HBO – but it’s never too late to fall in love.
| Gilmore Girls | |
|
|
The Gilmore Girls is another show I remember hearing people rave about and thinking “hm, I should have watched that”. And then the show was canceled and it was too late to catch it on TV. Now the entire series is available on DVD, either in one massive collection or a season at a time. I am loving the banter and enjoying adding creative new insults to my vocabulary.
| Friends | |
 The Complete Series Collection  |
|
My husband made me swear that if we named our daughter Emma, I would never tell anyone that I was a rabid fan of the show Friends – because naming your baby after a baby on a sitcom is just weird. But, I cannot deny my love for Friends. Ross & Rachel, Rachel & Joey, Monica & Chandler, Phoebe & Joey who should have gotten together… I loved every minute of this series and can watch it over and over again.
| Buffy The Vampire Slayer | |
|
|
This is on my list of shows to watch next – only about 10 years after everyone else. I’m not only a follower, I’m a slow to follow follower – which is double awesome.
30 Rock: Seasons 1 & 2
Obviously there is no “complete series” yet because 30 Rock is still running. But if you didn’t get on board with this show when it started (like me), now is a great time to get caught up. Tina Fey is hilarious as Liz Lemon!
The Office: Seasons 1 – 4 Collection
If, like my mother, you have been living under a rock, you may not have seen The Office yet. In which case, you are truly missing out on the joy of “that’s what she said” and “Jim and Pam” Dwight and OH MY GOD WHY ARE YOU NOT WATCHING THIS SHOW ALREADY?!?! The Office – Season One for starters…
What did I forget?

@SciFi Dad, I actually used to watch Sports Night! You’re right, it was a good show.
