Has anyone bought Complete Series sets (1 Viewer)

I'd avoid that if I were you, I regret having it now as the Complete Patrick Macnee Avengers is available:

[Joseph DeMartino]

OK, forgive me for being slow, but wouldn't the "Complete Patrick MacNee Avengers" simply be "The Complete Avengers" - him having appeared in all the episodes?

I don't see the availability of this set as a reason not to buy the Emma Peel set. I wanted the Emma Peel set because I specifically did not want either the Cathy Gayle or Tara King episodes. I got the Peel set for under $90. The availability of the Steed set at over $300 might be good news for Avengers completists, but for Diana Rigg fans it is just one more reason to snap up the Peel Megaset, which represents the series at its best, for less than 1/3 the price.

Regards,

Joe

Exactly.

I have the Homicide Complete Series set, and that's a wonderful display package. Everything else I bought one at a time to eventually get the whole series like Xfiles, Millennium, Babylon5 and a whole bunch of one season sets like Kingpin, Nowhere Man, Odyssey 5, Space Above and Beyond, etc.

I also have that Unsolved mysteries ultimate box, but that might not count since it's a collection of the best of eps, but I can't think of a better way to archive that series so I went ahead and bought it.

[Charlie_K]

I bought complete box of X-Files and sadly Firefly.

 

[Mary_P]

I feel your pain. Where's that "Serenity 2" announcement already? The series is still selling like hotcakes over at Amazon, and the movie's tracking well there too; the audience for this has done nothing but grow since the series came out on DVD. But I digress....

This has been a big couple of months for me for complete series sets, starting with "Get Smart" in mid-November, then the complete "Dick Van Dyke" and most recently I picked up the complete "Six Feet Under" at Best Buy's 1-day HBO sale on Christmas Eve. I'm not counting the complete-in-one-season stuff like "Police Squad" or the many things I've collected and completed via individual season releases such as "Buffy," "Angel," "Homicide," etc.

I seem to have missed out on the complete "M*A*S*H" set -- I was already planning on buying so much during November and December (to say nothing of all the things I bought that I *wasn't* planning on buying, but couldn't pass up at the price), that I thought I'd wait till DDD's next 20%-off sale in June. I snoozed. I lost. Oh well. I have plenty of new stuff to keep me busy for a long time anyway!

Sorry I double posted. I edited, How to erase??

 

[Brandy681]

I Love Lucy and Macgyver so far. I will have Bewitched, I Dream Of Jeannie and CSI when they hurry up and finish up these sets, I am current on all of them. I also would like Three's Company, Leave It To Beaver, and The Andy Griffith Show, etc if they would put them on sale.

 

[Steve Meil]

I think this idea of selling complete sets is maybe the way of the future. I did not include many series that were only 1- 2 seasons

1. Get Smart
2.Highlander the complete series including Highlander the Raven

Wishlist
1.Land of the Giants
2.The Invaders
3.Mission Impossible 1987
4.Star Trek Enterprise (if the price ever gets to 150-200)

Just a thought: does listing single-season TV show really count, for the purposes of this thread? Whilst technically correct, since that single-season is the complete series, I get the distinct impression that the idea behind the thread was really those mega-boxsets re-released after the individual season sets were released. Not sure if collecting the individual seasons as they were released, where there is no "megabox" thereafter, is included either -- in which case I'd add ST:TNG and ST: DS9 to my list. (For me, my 7 seasons of West Wing doesn't count since I didn't get the megabox.)

Also, what about shows where there was only ever a single release that included the whole series? My case in point is Sports Night, where both seasons were included in the solitary release -- i.e. there were no individual season releases.

 

[Ron68]

The only Mega DVD set that I bought was the M*A*S*H: Martinis and Medicine collection and I own the The Flash complete series, single season set.
