Here are some more obscure SF shows I've heard of, but I don't think they are on DVD yet - they might be on cable somewhere. Are any of these good?
Now & Again - this got brilliant reviews - was it really that good (and this is not Once and Again with Sela Ward, which aired the same year ....mmmm....Sela Ward).
The Invisible Man - I read a review once in a SF magazine that said this was brilliant, but no one ever talks about it.

Other superior ones not yet on DVD: the strangely underrated and little mentioned Early Edition with everyone's now favorite high school football coach (four ratings challenged seasons) and the obscure, quirky Strange Luck (one shortened season - 17 episodes) which I think was on UPN. Another UPN show which was kind of a good bad show (guilty pleasure) was 7 Days (three seasons). I'd buy any of these.

If you've got a region-free player I just picked up a double disc from xploitedcinema.com with all 3 BBC Quatermass Miniseries on it. (only two surviving episodes from the first series).

You can't beat The Twilight Zone, and you can't beat this DVD set either:

That's the entire series, all 156 episodes on 28 discs, and it is absolutely deserving of that "Complete Definitive Collection" title in every way imaginable. It may seem pretty pricey, but you're getting so much bang for your buck that it truly is worth every penny. That price on Wal-Mart's site is the cheapest you'll find it too, even cheaper than it'll be on Deep Discount with the next 20% off sale. Hell, I don't even know if that's permanent on Wal-Mart's site, it looks like it could just be a temporary price-cut. Definitely nab this one. It'll keep you gorged for the better part of a year.
