TV on DVD, updated!
Back in March, there was a QotD about TV shows on DVD, and I answered about the 3 seasons of shows that I owned so far. I got some recommendations in the comments, and I started watching sales at my fav stores for more sets I was wishing for.
We've found that now that we are cooking more, we enjoy sitting down to watching a Tv episode with our meals. Since we are only on the 1 dvd at a time through netflix deal, and our TiVo is upstairs so we don't watch anything new, the TV series that we own are the things we watch when we don't have a netflix movie/show to watch.
Right now, we own quite a few more than we did in March (3 vs 10 seasons!):
- 3 season of Roswell
- 2 seasons of Tru Calling
- Full season of Firefly
- 2 seasons of Buffy
- 2 seasons of Angel
Next up, we'll start in on season 3 of Roswell - we didn't have that one yet when we finished season 2, so we started on the next thing we did have. After that, Buffy and Angel even though we don't have the whole series on either.
In the meantime between the ones we own, we've been getting TV DVDs from Netflix. We watched 3 seasons of The 4400, and omg, love! I'm only sad that I didn't start watching it soon enough that I would have been able to watch season 4 in real time (I think it's just finishing up for the summer).
The 4400 is super and definitely fits my kind of show with some action, drama, and scifi all in one. I'm so glad quornflour thought to suggest it!
I think I'd like to see Sliders again. I faithfully watched the first few seasons, but then trailed off at the end. Another older series that might be cool would be Quantum Leap (since Journeyman is being touted as something similar and I like that concept a lot).
I've slowed down on buying TV on DVD, but I'm still watching for good deals on the series that need to be finished (Buffy - 5 more seasons - and Angel - 3 more seasons). I would like to own Heroes at some point too, super show that I know I'll enjoy rewatching (as judged by how excited I am still on Monday nights while they are playing reruns). No hurry, but it's sure nice to have such great options to watch!
Do you have any other suggestions along these type of shows for me? :)

Yay I am glad you like the 4400!
Dead Like Me is awesome, clever writing and Mandy Patinkin reminds me of my boss. "I make my face go like this and concerned words come out of my mouth".
I also like Medium.
Kyle XY seems ok, but I think it is too new to be on DVD, sort of reminds me of a remake of Roswell. I have only seen it twice.
Eureka is really quite fantastic.
Psych is funny.
MacGuyver is out on DVD I think.
Have you seen Serenity the Firefly movie? Stays true to the show, if you have not seen it, add it to your collection.
I think I am going to pick up Heroes next time I am at B&N.
That is all I have right now, I am so totally into Big Brother, frankly it is embarassing.
