What's the FIRST Tv on DVD you ever bought? (1 Viewer)

[GlennWD]

M*A*S*H Season One

 

[Tory]

I may be wrong but I believe the fist wave of Doctor Who releases, whatever they were.

 

[Doug Wallen]

Star Trek Volume 1 and 2 - first tv on dvd.

M*A*S*H - Season 1 - first season set.

 

[Curtis F]

My first was "The X-Files" Season 1.

 

[GuruAskew]

"X-Files Season 1" here too.

I think I paid $150 (full MSRP) for mine though.

I was like "24 episodes! That's like 12 movies at $12.50 each!"

It seemed like a reasonable price. How times have changed.

 

[Pete Battista]

I was also one of the many here that got X-Files: Season 1 when it was originally released. and like Bill above.. I was happy to get it at the price at that time!

I finally broke down and started buying TV on DVD with M*A*S*H Season 1. Season 3 had just come out and I think I bought seasons 2 and 3 within the week.

I've been DVD poor ever since...

 

[Radioman970]

Wow! X-Files S1 was $150?! Geez! I don't feel so bad about my early puchases now.

I started buying those Star Trek TOS dvds. I only just completed my collection late last year by buying S1. :frowning: I believe the second was that Monty Python 14 DVD set for $125.00 from a yahoo seller.

 

[StacyV]

Probably Sopranos S3. It was either that or a 4 episode Columbia House Good Times collection

 

[Bonnie*F]

My first was Carl Sagan's Cosmos. I think I paid $100 for it back in -ummm... late 2001. It was also my first DVD ever purchased.

 

[LCD22]

It was Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Complete First Season which I bought back in 2002.

 

[MarkHastings]

I can't remember what I bought at the B&M's, but according to my Amazon account:

Dame Edna's Neighborhood Watch - Oct. 1999
Get a Life - March 2000
Christmas in South Park - Nov. 2000

Of course, the first "Season" set I bought, might have been the Simpsons Season 1.

 

[Joe*A]

MASH Season 1, which started me on a craze. It changed the way I watch television. I have over 100 season DVD sets of episodic programming and love watching television that way. I actually wait to watch the program on DVD, such as Battlestar Galactica - which is a huge difference watching it on DVD vs. weekly on television and commercials. Commercials kill the momentum of a show like that and this watching week after week of a storyline is torture.

Great thread, thanks

twin peaks s1 -2001
still have not watched it yet

 

[Eve Brown]

My So Called Life 12/27/02 from DDD for $45.78. I had a one set of vhs that had been released for the show. Wow in over four years I now have 64 shows most average three sets. Don't want to think about the $$ epspecially in the beginning now i try not to spend more then $20 per tv boxset unless complete series like Alias, Buffy and Sex in the City.

Before televsion programming on DVD became really popular, I bought the feature-length pilot episode of Quantum Leap, the two "best-of" Wonder Years releases (which appear to be somewhat valuable now despite the conspicuous music substitutions), and the individual (but in-order) South Park releases.

I recall that The X-Files was the first high-profile show to get full-season box sets, and sparked the whole TV on DVD phenomenon. I never really got into that show, however--my first proper DVD season set was The Simpsons.

Since then, I've purchased more television shows on DVD than theatrical releases. I only recently got around to replacing those South Park discs with the proper season sets--I'd like to do the same for Quantum Leap but I just can't justify it with the music substitutions.

In spite of the occasional problems with music rights or syndication edits, I cannot describe how pleased I am that TV on DVD has become so popular in the last couple of years. There's no feeling quite like having the entire run of one's favorite series at one's fingertips.

 

[Regulus]

THUNDERBIRDS Mega-Set. I was in a Best Buy just browsing around and an Employee was putting some sets on the shelf. When I saw what he was putting there the next one he pulled out of the box never made it to the shelf! Shortly therafter I got BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (Cylon Head) for Xmas.

 

[MarkHarrison]

My first was Babylon 5: The Gathering/In the Beginning. Followed by Babylon 5: Season 1 and Band of Brothers.

 

[Demis G]

I THINK it was Spielberg's TAKEN series..

 

[Patrick.C]

Mine was the Battelstar Galactica (TOS) Cylon Head
