25 Top TV Shows on DVD
IGN.com did make a list on the Top 25 TV Shows on DVD. There are three shows we all know. |
Here's the list:
25. Spider-Man: The '67 Collection
24. NewsRadio: The Complete First and Second Seasons
23. X-Files: The Complete Third Season
22. The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus 16-Ton Megaset
21. The Cosby Show Season 2
20. The Sopranos - The Complete First Season
 19. Battlestar Galactica Season One (2004) - Look, even if it had no extra features, this would still be a great box set, simply because the series itself is so compelling and wonderful, but in fact, the collection of the first season of the critically acclaimed Sci Fi Channel offers quite a bit. Universal hasn't always put out the best TV show box sets, but they did the fans right with this one, most especially when it came to including the three hour miniseries that aired a year before the series, and is essential viewing to begin the storyline on Galactica. There are several fun and informative behind the scenes features, and best of all, nearly every episode features commentary from executive producers Ronald Moore and David Eick, who go into great detail on their thought process when it comes to various scenes and situations on the show. Some commentaries by cast members would be a welcome addition to future sets, but this is a very well done set for a rather amazing show that should be required viewing. So say we all.
18. Walt Disney Treasures: Disneyland USA
17. Futurama, Vol. 2
16. Six Feet Under: The Complete Second Season
15. Lost: The Complete First Season - J.J. Abrams' penchant for open-ended, inconclusive storylines is indulged to terrifically entertaining effect during Season One of this ratings champ and critical favorite, which combines mythological mumbo jumbo and traditional character development just subtly enough to deceive all of those folks who vowed never to watch a show characterized as "science fiction." While there are precious few of the show's secrets revealed in this set, Abrams and co. bolster Season One with a plane-load of bonus materials, including production documentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, audition tapes, making-of featurettes and lots more. But even without any extras at all, the true allure of a complete set of Lost episodes is the sheer thrill of watching long-form storytelling at its best - even when you realize you'll never reach a real conclusion.
14. Sex and the City: The Complete Series
13. Arrested Development: Season One
12. Chappelle's Show: Season 2
11. Undeclared
10. Twin Peaks: The First Season (Special Edition)
9. Deadwood - The Complete First Season
8. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Season One, Volume 1
7. Jackass the Box Set
6. Muppet Show - Season One (Special Edition)
 5. Firefly - The Complete Series - This boxed set is a must-own for any fan of Joss Whedon. The series, mangled by FOX in promotions and aired totally out of order, lives and breathes on these discs. The special features are aplenty for a series with only 15 episodes: commentaries on eight episodes, a gag reel, deleted scenes, and several very well done behind-the-scenes featurettes.
4. Seinfeld Season 4
3. The Simpsons - The Complete Season Three
2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Chosen Collection - Having long since gotten past the stigma of being based on a bad movie and having --let's face it-- a rather ridiculous title, Buffy is now seen as a television classic, in which Joss Whedon took his high concept of Teen Girl Vampire Slayer and used it as the basis for some amazing drama and thrills. This 40 disc set collects the entire seven year, 144 episode run of the show in one compact little box. The episode discs themselves contain the same extra content that the individual seasons had, but that includes many great commentaries from Whedon and other participants and other well done behind the scenes features. The collection also comes with an exclusive extra disc that contains a newer roundtable discussion with Whedon, cast members and writer/producers, along with additional features. Admittedly, if you already have the separate box sets, the added features aren't enough to justify needing the set. But for those new to Buffy, or at the least new to purchasing Buffy, this is a phenomenal value that gives you the entirety of one of the best TV series of all time.
1. Freaks and Geeks - The Complete Series (Limited Edition)
