Off the top of my head -

Simpsons 1-8
Seinfeld 1-6
Cheers 1-8
Friends 1-10
Fresh Prince 1
Roseanne 1-5 (or 4? I forget)
Family Guy 1-3
21 Jump Street 1-5
Chapelle's Show 1
MacGyver 1
Knight Rider 1-2
X-Files 1-3
Sports Night 1-2
Band of Brothers miniseries

You actually watch those?!?

Yeah, they're old and cheesy but I still enjoy them. I used to love missing school when I was a kid, because a local TV station played the A-Team, MacGyver and Knight Rider back to back in the afternoon. And everybody watched Fresh Prince back then.

I wouldn't pay a lot of money for shows like that, but they're good cheap entertainment.

(I figured someone would question me on Roseanne, which is actually a hilarious show)

Roseanne, at least the earlier seasons were freakin hysterical... :thumbsup:

Everyone should have Firefly on DVD.

Luckily I have some family members that buy the seasons for various shows, so usually I just borrow them.

Just finished watching season 1 of Lost and I'm a few shows into series 2. Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll be caught up so I can watch the eps live. :thumbsup:

Nope. MOST of the ones sold on DVD are shows I didn't watch on TV anyway. The major exception would be The Sopranos, which I rented. For many years, my work schedule kept me from watching ANY television at all, so I missed almost all of the first 3 or 4 years. Renting them allowed me to catch up on all the comedy of "Tony and the Boys"...but OWN it? Nah. I've seen the shows. WHY would I want to watch it over and over and over? Same with movies. Once you've seen them once or twice, (with a VERY FEW exceptions) why would you want to watch them over, and over, and over?
