I own:
Dark Angel, S1 & S2,
Lost in Space, S3V1 (for my kid, I swear!!!)
Airwolf, S1
Buffy, S3 *NEW!*
Star Trek TNG Best of Picard (7 eps)
Edit: Also Kung Fu, S1 & S2

I could be completely wrong, but I was under the impression that the slightly grainy quality on Buffy was the result of the type of film they were using - it was videotape or something similar to what is used on soap operas. I can't remember what the actual specs or anything were (it may have been in the Watcher's Guide, I'll check it out later).

As for TV on DVD, we have:

Buffy S1-4,6 & 7 (somehow am missing S5)
Angel 1 & 2
SG-1 1-4, 6
Alias 1 & 2
BSG mini
Gilmore Girls 1
Popular 1
Roswell 1
Wonderfalls

I think that's it.

Edit: I can spell! Also: forgot Friends finale, and Firefly of course!!!!!

than owning a TV show....:
The 10th Kingdon

The Barchester Chronicles

of course there are also some shows I taped off the air that I kept...
which is like all of Angel's first 4 seasons...

And 2nd season of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, although here's hoping there'll be more.

I dunno. I prefer to rent these kinds of things than buy them.

My want list, assuming I become more affluent anytime soon:

All of Buffy
All of Angel
All of Farscape
All of Stargate
All of My So-Called Life
All of The Prisoner
All of Nowhere Man
maybe some assorted Doctor Who
Probably Lost when it comes out
Maybe catch up on some of the West Wings since I've only seen assorted stretches episodes here or there before something else I wanted to watch more came up against it.

That's about it off the top of my head.

Yeah, I kinda have that same problem with SOPRANOS. Don't get me wrong, it's an incredible show. I itching for S5 to be out on DVD just to see the last stand of Adrianna. But I don't take them out and watch them on a regular basis. Whenever I'm killing time before a class, or before something comes on, or just anytime, I usually grab either FIREFLY or FUTURAMA. Tell you the truth, the only time I watched the SPORANO DVD's is probably when I first picked them up. And even when I do pick them up nowadays, it's only for specific moments, not whole episodes. Like I watched "College" the other day and skipped specifically to Carmela taking communion from Father Phil so I could use that as a base of reference for THE REPERCUSSIONS OF SHOTGUN TAM when Simon asks Book for forgiveness.

And to anyone who has all seven seasons of VOYAGER, should I only get 4-7, or get all 7 of them?

Between my husband and I, we have Firefly, most of Buffy, most of Angel, and a couple seasons of Futurama. We have a big wish list though, for when we're finally done school and have a decent income. We are going to finish off the Buffy, Angel and Futurama collections, get Alias, Lost (when it comes out), Wonderfalls, Carnivale (it's waaaaay too frickin' expensive right now), and maybe a few others like My So-Called Life and The Amazing Race. Once I have enough, I'm going to cancel the cable and just buy dvds as they come out. Goodbye, commercials and evil cliffhangers before four-week hiatuses!

I'm sure he has 'em on tape, he means. If Warner released 'em in ANY region, I'd have 'em, along w/a region-free dvd player!

DVDs are prohibitavely expensive here in Canada. I've seen single movies go into the triple digits. Seriously.

Only actual TV I have on DVD is:

SG-1 Season 6 ($87, the cheapest I could find it)
Gargoyles S1 ($30)

No, no Firefly, because it's $69 plus tax, and I'm poor.

Don't know if the two InuYasha movies count, since they're movies, but movies attached to a TV show.

Though I also have the nearly-complete run(missing one episode) of Roswell Conspiracies that I VCRed when YTV ran it a few years ago. That show needs a DVD release.

And I think that about does it. Now if we want to add TV Shows saved on our TIVOs, then I would have a longer list. I'm also debating whether or not to buy "Felicity". I never saw it, but I have a friend who is totally in love with the show and tells me it would be worth it.

I think he meant in Canadian dollars,

The US dollar has weakened a lot so $35/US is now about $43/Canadian...

Let's see if I can remember what's laying around the house...

Firefly - Natch.
Buffy S1 - Thanks to the recent "cheap at Wally World" thread!
Twin Peaks S1 - Paramount needs to hurry the hell up and give this a proper release.
Fishing With John - I love the Criterion Collection.
Rocky & Bullwinkle S1 - That trick never works!
The Awful Truth S1 - Need to pick up S2 one of these days...
Futurama S1-3 - ...but I need S4 of Futurama first.

Then there's a pile of British television:

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smileys People - Alec Guinness is a god.
The Sandbaggers S1-3 - Roy Marsden is less of a god, but still great. I love bleak cold war spy shows.
Black Adder (The Whole Shebang) - I hear Rowen Atkinson is also worshiped in some circles.
A Very British Coup - Ray McAnally, we miss you.
Ultraviolet - Just finished re-watching this series and am still blown away.
Doctor Who - I've got a couple of Tom Baker adventures and am itching for more.

I've also got a whole helluva lot of them there Japanese cartoons. Cowboy Bebop, Maison Ikkoku, Infinite Ryvius, RahXephon, Black Heaven, Macross, and god knows what else. At the moment I'm particularly keen on Satoshi Kon's Paranoia Agent.

I'm probably forgetting something, but off the top of my head that's it for TV and DVD. If we get into laserdisc, VHS, and (ahem) downloaded shows, things get just plain silly. In the future, The Prisoner, MI-5/Spooks, Lost, and Wonderfalls are at the top of my shopping list, with Samurai Champloo, Genshiken, and Gankutsuoh (a particularly trippy adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo) on the anime front.

Man, here I lurk for ages and am dragged out of the corners in order to list a bunch of TV shows. I'm sorry, I'm weak and just couldn't help but share.

Is it a show-off thread? I looked at each list as kind of an outward indication of the poster's personality, seeing where we differ and where we overlap. For instance, I was surprised that I wasn't the only Gargoyles fan.

For some of us, forking over cash does mean that we think the show is important. I have boxes of tapes (MST3K, A-Team, Time Trax, Beauty and the Beast, Highlander, some Equalizer) but not all of them matter enough to me to purchase in box sets.

And yeah, I have divx copies of lots of newer shows - Gilmore Girls, Law and Order, etc. too but the only new show I want on dvd is House.

So what do you have on dvd that you would actually pay for? :-)

It may just be 'cause the Gargoyles DVDs weren't really hyped (and about ten years late ).

Here's hoping it's doing well enough to at least get the other seasons out --I want a full Gargoyles box set on my shelf.

First thing I ever bought on DVD was Firefly.

The only other thing I own is Wonderfalls. It was a gift, but I woulda bought it if it hadn't been.

I suspect the next thing I get on DVD will be Serenity (I'm hoping a Director's cut/extended version is at least announced at the same time as the initial release. I really only need one and that'd be the one I'd want.).

I own a few movies on VHS - 100% of them were gifts. The thought was appreciated, but I've never been one for owning movies/TV shows. If I didn't already have it on VHS, I might get a DVD copy of 2001 just because it rocks that hard.

If money wasn't an issue, I'd own the entire "Created by Joss" collection, but 12 seasons of Buffy/Angel would ring up quite a bill.

I saw a fan music vid on a compilation tape, which is how I learned about it. I bought the video tape of the first episodes and was hooked. I had to find a friend with a different cable company to tape for me, my system didn't get toon disney and this was way before bittorrent.

I'm ashamed to say it didn't change my life (unless you count sleuthing for sources) but great stories, literary references galore and the voices of former TNG cast members - what's not to like? Although I still get weird looks when I bring it up - evidently anime is okay but Gargoyles isn't. Their loss... a great story is a great story.

Isn't the guy who voiced Goliath doing voice-overs for TNT at Law and Order time or am I imagining it?

"Twin Peaks * (will season 2 EVER come out on dvd?!)"

My understanding is that the rights have reverted back to Paramount as of this year - good job on sitting on the license, Artisan - so at this point it's in their court.

Here's the latest update from the Lynch fanatics at Dugpa.com:

"February 15th 2005
Latest Rumor for Release Dates of Twin Peaks Season 2 in Europe Region 2
Leonard Krantz sends me an email today stating that Paramount will be releasing the Twin Peaks Season 2 DVD set split up into two box sets containing 4 discs each. The first to be released on September 22nd, 2005, and the second half on October 20th 2005. The set is supposed to contain new video transfers, 5.1 newly re-mastered audio, and extras to be announced. I'm looking into this rumor, but so far, it sounds pretty dead on. Eventually a US release will follow."

Again, this is rumor, but it looks like things are finally happening again on the Twin Peaks DVD front. Looks like Europe will get a release this fall, with the US to follow suit sometime before the heat death of the universe. Maybe. If we're really lucky.

I'll save you some anguish -- none of them are as good as I remembered, with the exception of the final episode of Sonny Steelgrave, which is one of the best hours ever to hit TV. Naturally, in order to best appreciate it, you need to watch the whole Sonny Steelgrave arc.

On the other hand, if it helps the value equation, Nightstalker is a double-sided DVD, with Night Strangler on the flip side. I seem to recall it was originally broadcast as "the Gaslight Goul", but the "Night Strangler" titles were obviously done @least a quarter century ago. This double-sided DVD is a relatively recent release; there was an earlier edition, now out of print, with just Night Stalker.

YT, I heard they replaced some music in Wiseguy, I was wondering- do you still get to hear 'Knights in White Satin' while Vinny and Sonny are alone in the theatre after their fight (just before the climax)?

And I agree, one of the best hours. At least I have it on tape.

They replaced almost all the music. I don't specifically remember what's in that scene, but it works on the DVD. I didn't actually notice it 'til the third set, when Vinnie is playing pickup baseball, originally to the tune I'm listening to right now; they replaced it with something generic, & having nothing to do with what's on screen.

Now we see the level of my obsession. I just assumed it stood for Dark Angel.
That's why I like Firefly; it reassures me that there are other and sometimes better things out there besides Dark Angel.
