I just wondering if anyone else out there has found really wonderful TVshows by blind-buying the DVDs.

Myself I have found alot of wonderful Series, by blind-buying the DVDs. Felicity Season 1 is where it stared, almost two years ago and from there I Blindly bought Friends Season 1, Alias Season 1, and most recently nip/tuck season 1. Although those only make up a fraction of my tvshowsondvd collection, I am glad that I purchased then, and now I know that TV on DVD is the perfect way to come into a sereis late.

Crime Story S1
Coupling (only had seen one episode prior to buying)
Winds of War (miniseries)

I was fixing to start a new thread, but I will just post my question here. With the upcoming DDD sale tomorrow, I need some blind buy advice. I am in need of a new TV show to watch, so what are some recommendations??

I already have these shows (every season):
Buffy
Angel
Smallville
CSI
Dawson's Creek
Dark Angel
South Park
Family Guy
Roswell
Firefly
Band of Brothers
24
Alias
Married with Children
The Shield
Nip/Tuck
Playmakers


I was considering Gilmore Girls, Party of Five, West Wing, Sports Night, Sopranos and Felicity.

What are some must have shows to add to my collection?

I definitely recommend WW and Sops out of the ones you are considering. I don't see Simpsons or Futurama on your currently-own list - I definitely recommend those.

You may want to look at some previous threads on the same topic:

Firefly

You can never go wrong with "Gilmore Girls,"

But "party of five" and "Felicity" are highly recamended as well...

Just note that Gilmore Girls and Felicity season 1 are VERY light on special features.

Yeah I blind bought Monty Python's Flying Circus 14-DVD Complete Set about a year ago. I'm pleased with it (although not even close to finishing it all yet)

Sports Night is a great series to own, though I have to admit that I only watched them once since I bought them. GG is good too, and it's probably going to be the next TV box set I pick up.


I don't see Freaks and Geeks in your collection--that is definitely a must-own. I bought the regular retail set when it came out, was completely smitten by it, then ordered the Yearbook edition.

I blind bought Alias season one first day of release and have been hooked ever since. I'm hoping that at the start of season 4, I will finally be able to watch it on TV since I now have a Tivo.

Defiantly get Sopranos sets
Six Feet Under is pretty good
Joe Schmo comes out next week, I can't wait to get mine in as it was hilarious
In Living Color
Good Times
The A Team
The Dukes of Hazzard
Hulk (best of tv series)

thats all I can think of off the top of my head...

Recently (about a month ago), I bought Stargate SG-1 Season 1 after after only seeing the movie. I now own six seasons (all of the ones currently on DVD) and I'm completely hooked. Season 1 is actually mediocre compared to the other seasons. Season 2 is when it really picks up. I couldn't be happier. I would also recommend "Firefly", another blind buy for me that really turned out positive.

Cheers.

24 Season 1. It was the first blind buy I ever bought but I'm really glad I did. AMAZING and extremely addictive show. Still not sure why I spent $50 on a blind buy but I think it was mostly because Elisha Cuthbert is in it

Another vote for Firefly! After watching it, I was disappointed about so many loose ends left hanging. Now I can't wait for the Serenity movie to come out next year!

I'm thinking of buying Freaks and Greeks as a blind buy, I heard what a great show it is and hopefully you guys are right.

We've gotten this far in the thread and no one has recommended "Babylon 5"????

das monkey would be disappointed in you.

I found The Shield, 24, Oz, The Dead Zone, Quantum Leap. Ultraviolet, Forever Knight, and I am going to pick up the Gilmore Girls real soon and I want to check out Dead Like Me, Six Feet Under, and Deadwood when it is released.

Sopranos
Homicide
CSI
Alias
Band of Brothers
Can't wait for Miami Vice

Coupling
AbFab
The Office

All amazingly funny shows.

If you are interested enough to consider it, you won't be disappointed.
