Help pick the next TV BoxSet...its that time again!

I have finally completed another TV BoxSet, and I'm asking for suggestions on the next one.

This has been what I've completed:

1) 7th Heaven 1st Season- Loved the show, thought it was great!!!

2) Sex and the City Season 1-6- This was a much different series, but I liked the dichotmy, as they are completly different.

3) 24 Season 1-3- Wonderful show, and I am really looking forward to seeing Season 4 on DVD!!!!!

4) The OC Season 1- My guilty pleasure!!!! I bought it with a gift card after Christmas, and I loved the show. Great writing and good charcters. I think after watching this season, I am hooked on this show, does the quality stay for Season 2?

So what should I try next? I was thinking about Alias, but now after watching "The O.C." I am thinking something similar to it. Is "One Tree Hill" any good?

Get Freaks and Geeks. Great show that I completely bought in a blind buy and you don't have to worry about spending money on subsequent seasons.

Actually, the other suggestions above mine are all fantastic choices as well. Buy Arrested Developement!

That would be my suggestion, however, ABC Family (I am catching in re-runs) is close to end of the 4-season cycle they have - about 2 more weeks - so I assume that they will start over after that. You may want to watch it that way.

I would either suggest ALIAS or NIP/TUCK. Nip Tuck won best drama at the Golden Globes. It is one of my favorite shows. Alias has three seasons out on DVD and Nip Tuck has two. Let us know what you decide.

Nothing that people haven't already mentioned:

Arrested Development
The Wire (both seasons released)
The Shield (all 3 so far)

Coupling is great if you like Brit-coms.

Are you into sci-fi?

What about the Star Trek: TNG, Voyager and Deep Space 9 sets.

I would suggest any of the following:

Alias
Sopranos
Arrested Development
Freaks and Geeks
Buffy
Angel
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Nip/Tuck
Six Feet Under

These are obviously my tastes, however, above these I would suggest my new addiction: Gilmore Girls, which is just a fantastic, wonderfully written and acted show. That's the one I'd get!!!

I know I have the total opposite taste of others that post here, but I cannot recommend enough to try something different.

I've got to recommend the best TV on DVD box set to ever be produced.

Band Of Brothers!

Well he won't be happy when after 5 days he has finished a 24 episode boxset.

As for comedy I'd go with Curb Your Enthusiasm also. Drama? NYPD: Blue season 1 is cheap right now.

My vote is for Arrested Development as well. If this keeps going, it could match or possibly beat Sinefeld as best comedy series of all time.

Also, AD has GREAT re-watchablity.
