I got to thinking about this in the other thread about whether people would buy complete season sets of shows, this got me thinking what those type of shows like Sightings or America's Dumbest Criminals would you buy them in season sets or best of's. Now I love both shows and wqould love to see them come out but if they did I'd probably settle with Best Of's. But would everyone think would be the most practical?
These are some of the Documentry type shows I'd love to own episodes of.
Sightings
America's Dumbest Criminals
Unexplained Mysteries
Unsolved Mysteries
Some of the A&E or TLC Paranormal Shows/Specials

These would work better as individual episode or best-of releases. Take Biography for example. I'm not interested in 90% of the people profiled, but for the other 10%, I wouldn't mind owning. As great as the Kurt Cobain and Andre the Giant episodes were, I wouldn't splurge on a season set just to own them.

I would love all episodes of the 1986-87 ABC documentary series "Our World" on DVD along with some other great one-shot documentaries ABC did during this era. "45/85" (which had a VHS release), "The Blessings Of Liberty" etc. were outstanding American history primers for their time.

Some, not all, episodes of Discovery Channel's Unsolved History make in onto DVD.

Some 4-disc "Unsolved Mysteries" collections are due this fall, with more on the way in '05, according to today's DavisDVD update (4/16/04).

First Look Media has landed the DVD rights to TV's Unsolved Mysteries. In its 15 years on the air, the stalwart series - hosted by the late great Robert Stack - has produced more than 2500 episodes dealing with a plethora of unanswered crimes and urban mysteries. With so many individual episodes, First Look will be taking a genre-specific approach to marketing the series, as opposed to releasing season sets. Look for "The UFO Files" on September 7th, "Scariest Ghost Stories" on October 5th and "Astonishing Miracles" on November 9th. Each four-disc box set will feature selected episodes from its subject matter, along with tentatively planned extras such as audio commentaries with series creators John Cosgrove and Terry Meurer, behind-the-scenes featurettes, updated news segments and more. Three more sets, "Bizarre Murders," "Mysterious Legends," and "Incredible Psychics and ESP," are scheduled for release in 2005.

I'm looking forward to those releases especially the first couple. I never realized until reading the thing over at TVShowsOnDVD.com just how many episodes they produced.

I think that press release should have said "stories" and not episodes.
2,500 episodes over 15 years would mean 166 episodes a year. That isn't likely.

I'll probably get the "Scariest Ghost Stories" set.
I remeber staying up really late at my grandfathers country house in the summer when I was a kid, there was no cable and we got horrible reception, but I'd stay up and watch Unsolved Mysteries in the living room before my dad would force me to go to sleep. Than I'd end up lying awake in bed with that narrator's deep monotone voice in the back of my head all night, petrified to close my eyes...
I'll pick it up just for those memories...
