One big complaint I have about tv show dvds are that we get a season per year... ^ What's the deal! ^ WRKP has I believe 5 seasons. We have to wait 5 years to get the entire show. Why??? ^ Shows that are older than 10 years should all be availible NOW. I would buy all the seasons of WKRP tomarrow if they were availible. See how addicted I am!!! :) ^ Went toa bartender lalalaaa !!! Grumpyoldman, I’m also a big fan of WKRP. One big complaint I have about tv show dvds are that we get a season per year…

One recomendation to all the dvd lovers of great shows out there, "Sleeper Cell". This show seems to have faded away after Season 2. ^ I highly reccomend it to fans of shows like Dexter, and the Unit. The show can also be found around 19.99. ^ Very high octane terrorist drama!!!

I am exactly the same way and nobody gets me, so I'm relieved I'm not the only one who's so addicted to buying TV DVDs when they're cheap. I also always buy them and then never watch them because I can't resist when they cost about 20€. Yes, Euros, I'm from Germany but they have TV shows on DVD here, too ;) But lately I've been importing a lot from the US because it's a lot cheaper even with the shipping. BTW, thank you for writing here about Black Friday sales which I hadn't heard of before. I immediately went to Amazon.com and bought The Office S1, S2, Veronica Mars S1 and S2, How I Met Your Mother S1 and three more DVDs. I also just bought The Office S3 yesterday, so thanks for your support of my addiction ;) Thank you, TV addict.

I think I lasted a week. In the past month I've bought Arrested Development S1-3 (from this site's tip), BSG S1-2, Teachers S1-4, Life on Mars S1, Extras S1-2, Dead Like Me S2 and Doctor Who S1. The latter still cost me £40 ($80) two years after the show aired! I think On last count I had 65 TV Boxsets and half of them I won't watch more than once if that. I've started to buy almost all my DVDs from Amazon.com as even with P&P to the UK it's far cheaper than anything over here. A few tips: Dead Like Me S1 is $17.50, and pretty much every season of Buffy, Angel, Bones, Roswell and The X-Files are all around $20 for anyone who doesn't want to splurge on a complete collection boxset.

But I can't seem to stop buying them, despite the damage to my bank account. Today I am annoyed because I can't find Doctor Who season 3 any cheaper than £48.99 in the sales! I am clearly doomed to penury and bankruptcy. And when the bailiffs take away my goods, I'll be heard crying out, 'No! Not The OC seaon 2 !! I MIGHT WATCH THAT ONE DAY!!' *sigh*.....

I got Firefly there for around $20 or $25 about a year or two ago when most places still had it for $30 to $50. Back in October, I got Picket Fences season one for $25. I don't think Target still carries it, but if you can find it elsewhere (like Best Buy), it's still $50 or $55. Hopefully I'll have a chance to check out DVD deals Thursday or Friday. Only had a chance to stop at Hallmark today for Christmas ornaments 40% off. Target is pretty good for DVDs.
