There's only certain shows that I would actually collect on DVD.

One's I have are:
DS9
SG-1
SGA (season 1-4)
Farscape
Star Trek Voyager (but only 2 or 3 seasons IIRC, can't remember what seasons though)
Andromeda (Season 1 & 2)
Mutant X
X-Files (Season 1 & 2)
Primeval
Sanctuary
Psi Factor

Shows I would get if they gave us a proper conclusion:
Terminator SCC

SGU (maybe, I'm waiting to see what happens first and then if it goes the distance and keeps up the high standard then I will get the Boxset after the show is finished)

**Snowman37** · 10 October 2010, 09:12 AM

Sanctuary: I really like this show, but I don't know if I would go back and rewatch episodes.
Star Trek: What about the other shows: the original, Next Generation, and Enterprise?
Stargate: Universe: Why wait until the show has finished?
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: So what if the show ended with a cliffhanger? How does that change your enjoyment of previous episodes?
The X Files: Have you seen the movies?

I feel the same way as Linda, I'd get the box sets if there was a conclusion to the show. For me it's very unsatisfying watching a show and knowing in advance that all the plot threads will end up unresolved.

Sanctuary - Well I love Amanda Tapping so.....

Star Trek - I didn't like the other shows enough to buy the DVD's
Stargate Universe - Well I wanna buy the full boxset like I done with SG-1

Although I did buy the SG-1 season sets when they came out, got up to season 6 then decided I wanted the full boxset.
Terminator SCC - If there's one thing I hate it's shows ending on cliffhangers, for me that is a big turn off when deciding whether to buy the show on DVD.
X-Files - Yes I have seen the movies, the first movie was awesome and I bought it, but the second movie was just mediocre and a big disappointment.

Exactly. It's one thing ending a season on a cliffhanger, it's another thing altogether ending the show on a cliffhanger

I hate cliffies at the best of times, but to end a show like that is just so frustrating.

The Mighty 6 platoon: I guess I'm just not that bothered by the cliffhanger. I like the Terminator movies, so I was very excited when the TV show came out. I watched every episode right up to cancellation. Sadly, the producers and writers were hoping for a third season. Cancellation was announced after the season finale aired. It was too late to craft a series finale.

Linda06: Why a full boxset? That's very expensive! I much prefer the individual season sets. It might be more expensive in the long run, but I just will never be willing to spend some $200 in one go on a TV show DVD set. Keep in mind that TSCC was suppose to continue into a third season. It was cancelled for poor ratings in regards to the show's vast budget. FOX couldn't justify funding the show, so it was cancelled.

Madwelshboy: How do you have time to watch all of that?

That sometimes the case. Take for example the SG-1 box set. I think it was $150-200 when it came out but now it's like $90 to $100 for 10 seasons worth of tv which is a steal, but there was no way in hell I was going to buy the box set after reading the terrible reviews on the packaging. Several months ago I bought all 10 individual seasons for about $160...which was worth the price to avoid the hassle of damaged discs.

The only full box sets that I have are Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. I got Angel for $50 US a couple of years ago when Amazon had it as a gold box special and I eventually found Buffy for $105 US. Great packaging for both those series.

The reason I have mostly individual series is because I like to rewatch the previous season before the new season starts so I bought my seasons of BSG and LOST as they came out. I had no patience for a complete box set

...even with Universal milking people on half season sets of BSG.

I waited till it was on special and got it. I was working fulltime at the time so I could afford it then, now though I'm on short time so I'd have to try and save up if I wanted the boxset. But saying that some shows don't have boxsets so I buy the season sets. The Boxsets just take up less space

Yeah TSCC was supposed to go into a third season, but alas it got canned. But ending shows on a cliffie is a big no-no for me. I'm glad we got Peacekeeper wars to finish the Farscape story and Serenity to finish off Firefly. It's a pity we can't get something like that for TSCC

**Infinite-Possibilities** · 10 October 2010, 01:37 PM

I usually collect the Box Sets of TV shows that I really love. Although with others that I kinda wanna see but do not feel like I enjoy them enough to own on DVD with me, I tend to just try to rent. I have quite a few shows on DVD, although the weird thing is after I moved to North America most of my older DVDs will not work here, so I kind of have two sets of disks. Sometimes I haven't seen the shows and sometimes I have when I get them

Overall though I have:

Stargate SG-1: Seasons 1-10 + The Ark of Truth
Stargate Atlantis: Seasons 1-5
Farscape: Seasons 1-4 + Peacekeeper Wars
Angel: Seasons 3-4
Battlestar Galactica: Seasons 1-3 + Plus Miniseries (I haven't seen further than that)
LOST: Season 2 (I rented the rest of the following seasons)
The 4400: Seasons 1-4
Batman Beyond: Season 1
And the complete series of the 2002 remake of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

Although if you count shows with movies as part of the show I also have all 4 Futurama films and all 10 original Star Trek movies (somewhere, I don't know where several of them are right now).
