I voted for undeclared, but if "life as we know it" was an availible option, I would have picked that. I believe for a series that didn't get much credit from Beuna Vista when it was on the air, Beuna Vista did a wonderful job with the DVD (7 Commentaries! I was expecting 2),and the transfer while fullscreen is really clear, and packaging rocks.

My vote is for Muppet Show S1, with the Thin Man Box set a close second.

I'm going to have to go with the Office S1. With only six episodes, there were able ot get full cast commentaries on pretty much every episode. Good stuff!

All of the choices are great. I voted for sin city because it's the best movie on the list even if it's lacking the features some of the other discs have.

I voted Ghostbusters, simply because it's all I picked up of that list. There are others I do want, and in the case of Sin City, I'm waiting for the next release (I've got plenty to watch in the meantime).
