Let's be frank here: I, like many others,
hate bonus discs. But unfortunately, it doesn't look like they're going away anytime soon. And since I know I'm not the only completist on the forum by a long shot, I figured we might as well have an index for TV DVD sets that included a bonus disc at a specific retailer(s). (This list is not for bonus discs included with complete series sets, unless they happen to be exclusive to a single retailer.)
Realistically, after a few months, these bonus discs are deleted and become hard to find. Still, you can sometimes get lucky and find one at a store or brave a bidding war at eBay. For this reason, the list will be broken down into two sections: one alphabetical list of titles released in the last six months with bonus content, and one for older releases. If you can think of any that aren't covered here (and there are hundreds), please post them in this format (you can see examples in the list below):
Show Title (Season X)
Retailer
Description of Content
In addition to bonus discs, any retailer-exclusive content at all will be covered separately (i.e. Best Buy's packages of The Office).
