I only have both season of Dead Like Me since it was so good, and I couldn't wait for TV to show them once a week. Other than that, too expensive as I can't think of shows other than DLM I'd actually rewatch religiously.

I only have a few. I don't mind the prices really, but there are only a few shows I'd really want to watch over and over again. I'd love to have the Seinfeld seasons, but it'd be a waste of money at this point because they still have a couple of hours of reruns a day. I recently purchased "Dinosaurs" seasons 1 and 2 and it rocks. I used to love that show back in the day.
Edit: I wouldn't mind having the Japanese version of "Iron Chef" on DVD though.

I have some episodes of The Wonder Years I got off BitTorrent - HORRIBLE QUALITY.
I wouldn't mind buying them whenever they become available. Damn, I loved that show growing up.
Would also like to get Home Improvement on DVD.

only TV shows that I really like and have a desire to re-watch someday.
I'm not really the type of person who collects dvds just for the sake of owning them, though. if it's something I think I'll only watch once, I add it to my netflix queue.

Wouldn't it be awesome to just be able to select the "lobster battle" or any specific battle from the DVD menu? That'd be awesome. Hopefully the Japanese one comes out on dvd because the American one is a disgrace.
Just have these right now:
The Office seasons 1 & 2
News Radio seasons 1-4
Gilmore Girls seasons 1-5 (will get season 6 when it goes on sale)
Lois and Clark season 1
I want to get a lot of the older shows, but I'll only buy them when they're on sale. I got the Lois and Clark for $19.99 at Walmart, a couple of the Gilmore Girls for $18.99 each at Target, two of the GG were gifts, the News Radio cost me from $29.99 to $34.99, and The Office for $29.99 at Target. I said I wouldn't give over $30 for a season of any TV show again, but I really really wanted the 4th season of News Radio when it came out and that's the best price I could find.
I'd like to get Moonlighting and Freaks & Geeks, but haven't been able to find them on sale anywhere.
Thanks for the link, Wreckage. I didn't know that Petticoat Junction was out on DVD until I looked around there.

Try www.deepdiscountdvd.com they usually beat amazon in price for TV DVDs.
Freaks and Geeks is $38 for the whole series.

I have Seasons 1-8 of the Simpsons, and I'm in the process of collecting all seasons of Star Trek:TNG
I have lots (too many DVDs really 
).
Mostly I collect the series that are no longer on air. To my mind, it makes the most sense. You can have the complete run of something that is no longer available, and who knows if it'll ever be available in rerun. This way, you can watch any of it, any time you want.
Babylon 5 was the first one I went after. Then Farscape. I also got Red Dwarf based on a few eps of the first season when my friend brought his DVDs. Picked up Buffy and Angel after they ended. Dilbert was at least sold as a complete series box set. I rented Dead Like Me and decided they'd be worth picking up for being such a black comedy. You don't find too many of those outside the UK. Speaking of which, I have Mr. Bean and intend to get Blackadder.
Then there are series which are still active but not rerun. I got Battlestar Galactia (new one) because of that. Same for Alias (at the time). Doctor Who 2005 season and will have 2006 (offical) when it comes out. I got the better seasons of Sealab 2021 because it's so twisted Same for Drawn Together and Tripping the Rift.
I try not to have too many ongoing series because they're so hard to shelve what with new sets coming out every year. I picked up Family Guy because it was discontinued at the time. I ended up picking up the South Park series because I found a few seasons for cheap and am a completist. Same goes for CSI: Las Vegas (though that's not bad as I missed seasons 5 and 6 and they're not in mass syndication yet). One of my fav series is Law & Order and I have the first 4 of that (don't have season 14). And I just recently caved and got the first 7 seasons of Stargate: SG-1. (At least I'll only need 3 more there if rumours are true.) Oh, and Robot Chicken (so random!)
Probably the final and best argument for TV series on DVD is that they have the highest length to cost ratio. A full season of a 1 hour (45 min average episode time) show (22 seasons) will thus give you about 16.5 hours of solid viewing for between $40-100, or a cost of $3-5 per hour. Compare to your average movie (90-120 min) for $10-30 and it's easier to see which is the most effective of the two.

I have been very tempted to buy Dead Like Me and Carnivale on dvd, but the prices are always a bit out of my budget.
I don't watch much TV otherwise, and I don't care enough about the shows I do watch to get them on DVD.

torrent....
i buy dvds and i have almost 200 of them, i buy certain tv series but they are all cartoons like Family Guy, Aquateen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021, Invader Zim, and Thundercats. The only non-cartoon series i ahev is Tales From The Crypt and i regret buying them. I love shows like Sopranos and Prison Break but i have no need to watch them once i already have.

Hey, thanks again, Wreckage! The cheapest I've ever found Freaks and Geeks for is $50. I'll check that site out.
Seriously? Carnivale I can understand, as BBC and HBO series are always the most outrageously expensive DVDs, but Dead Like Me is going for $30 CND each around here retail. You can get them for $27 on deepdiscountdvd.com, too.
