TV DVD Sets Everyone Should Own

I'm thinking of getting the complete set of 30 Rock Season 1.
I've tried watching Lost, 24, and Heroes but stopped after the first few seasons.

What have you watched all the way through that you'd recommend?
In other words, what are some TV DVD sets you think everyone should own?

Then you can watch TONS of TV series in their entirety at no additional cost. I know this is not exactly what you asked but it is by far the easiest way I've found to sample things without having to buy all the DVDs.; ▶ Reply to This

I'm not sure if you can on the PS3 which HAS a blu-Ray player already. Ha, I don't game-I know people who love electronics.; ▶ Reply to This

Six Feet Under - Incredible series, sometimes uncomfortable & cringe worthy but SO worth the time.
The Shield - Not everybody's taste, pretty disturbing at many points but c'mon - Michael Chiklis!
The Kids in the Hall: Complete Series Megaset - Oh yes, this is on my B-day wish list this year.; ▶ Reply to This

I'll warn you, most people aren't particularly drawn by the first or second episode, but keep watching and you'll love it. It stars Seth Rogen, Jason Seagel, James Franco, and several others that are big comedy stars now.; ▶ Reply to This

Don't get me wrong, I love Weeds and Enterogue (sp?) and a shit ton of other shows, but when I'm sitting down to watch a dvd of a show, I usually only watch one or two episodes at a time (unless I'm doing a marathon.. that's a completely different story.) I like Friends a lot because it doesn't really have an ongoing plot (other than the obvious Ross-Rachel, Monica-Chandler thing) so really, you can pick any episode to watch from any season and you won't have to remember what went on in the previous episodes to understand it. You know?; ▶ Reply to This
