| | Posted: | | | | I currently have 88 complete TV series. I still need to get the final seasons of "The Rockford Files" and "Family Ties"...don't know why I've never completed those two  . I stopped collecting "Gunsmoke" and "Rawhide" when the greedy studios starting splitting the seasons into two separate releases to gouge us even more  . | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| | Posted: | | | | @ Neil Great list! I don't even want to think about how many I am either close to completing.... a distance from completing... or current series that hasn't started yet! The list would be 3 or 4 times longer I am sure!  @8ballMax I also hated when series went to half seasons like that! It hasn't stopped my collecting... but definitely slowed down collecting those sets. @Terry Yes... I know what you mean. A lot of the classic series are just timeless. I can continue to watch shows like I Love Lucy or The Dick Van Dyke Show over and over again! And yes... they were definitely longer back then too. Studios got greedy wanting to sell more advertising space. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Oh I agree there is a lot of great stuff out today as well. Like I am so hooked right now on the CSI series... Bones... Smallville.... and so many others!
I think it is that there is a special place in our hearts for our old favorites that makes it feel that way. I will be curious to see how today's shows hold up in 30 years or so though. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I like collecting complete SF series.
The best feeling was when I received the 2nd season of Jeremiah. I had ordered it from Amazon, and the reply was NOT FOR SALE OUTSIDE OF US/CANADA. Then out of the blue 6 mths later a shipped notice came through???? Anyway for an obviously "home" release, it was good to finally see the 2nd season.
I also made sure I have the complete available Gerry Anderson shows, gotta love em, strings n all. |

| | Posted: | | | | I have a lot of shows on DVD too. I'll have to take inventory again.
I really hate it when only a few seasons are released and then no more. That is so annoying and highly frustrating. | | |  |
