H101. All great t.v.shows. Matlock.........hmmmmmm. There is a UMA member that was on the Matlock show. But, I willkeep it a secret. ;D
You need to get HONEY WEST, too. Awesome 1960s action show featuring private eye Anne "Forbidden Planet" Francis. BTW, MUNSTERS and ADDAMS have been really cheap lately, but I'd hurry- I think all these sets will all be going south, and then it will be stream only.

The Outer Limits are on dvd. I own a set. But, not sure still in print. Maybe Amazon ?
I want ...

I want to complete
Combat!
Garrison's Gorilla's
The Avengers
The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
NYPD Blue

Best Buy was selling Outer Limits for $9.99 a season, as was Lost In Space, Munsters, Happy Days, Mission:Impossible, I Spy, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Land of the Lost, and Tales From The Crypt. I don't think they'll get much cheaper than that.
I'm thinking of adding "Ghost Story", which ran on NBC for a season back in the 70s...produced by William Castle.
But its at $40...a little steep for me...
Bizarro Jeff
Masters of Horror. Some of these are quite good.

And another reason to get the complete series boxed set:
I found season 2 at Big lots for about $5. Then after haunting every video store/pawn shop/thrift store for about three months, I finally found an ex-rental "complete first season" at a video store. $15 was just too good to pass up.
But, guess what?
The complete first season on DVD did not include the "Pilot" AKA the TV movie-like first episode!
Looks like the only way to get all of

Another must-have (that I still need a couple of volumes of) is THE UNTOUCHABLES starring Robert Stack. Phenomenal show, and the DVD transfers are amazing.

Bob-- when I was younger, I used to think Robert Stack was such a wooden actor. However, when I watch now, I find his performances have aged a lot better than his Actor's Studio-trained colleagues because they are so straight and un-mannered. He gives just as much as the show needs and not more. Compare that to Dragnet which is so mannered it seems silly now.
I also love the "Untouchables" tie in merchandise. One of these days I will get the boxed Untouchables Tommy Gun.
Matt
For western fans I would highly recommend Steve McQueen in Wanted Dead or Alive series. 4 outta 5
Recent buys
Ed Mc Bains 87th Precinct. 4 outta 5 stars.
Johnny Staccato starring John Cassavetes.
Rod Cameron in State Trooper.
The wife and I LOVE the old late 50's 60's stuff and it is finally emerging for real out of the cellar.

Agreed Matt. I always loved Stack's portrayal, but as a kid thought he really wasn't
acting, because whenever i saw him as himself, he sounded the same! The tommy gun is def. cool...I had a carded Untouchables cop pistol at one point, but it is long gone.

OK , I'm seeing BIG collections but really how many times are you going to watch them? We have watched Buffy TFS entire series 3X. That is ALOT of viewing time.
Supernatural entire series twice. Once we watch a series 2-3 times and say that is not a keeper for another 100 something hours of viewing it goes in the seller Biz Bag.
I have the entire series of Adam 12 and still watch the free shows on cable. Never get tired of easy to watch popcorn cop shows. Our motto is if we are not going to watch it within 2 years it is gone = dust collector. Guess that is what happens when one lives in a tiny 1050 sqf doll house and too much stuff and too little time.

For me, yes, I will watch things over at times, but I will also lend stuff out and hope to have stuff available for friends and family. Yes, like a movie one-man library. Is space an issue...yeah, but hopefully I'll be able to set up spme bookshleves at some point. I can't help it, I'm a collector.

It's nice to have them when you want to watch a specific episode, which I often do. Plus, today's TV sucks so bad, it is nice to have fresh vintage shows to watch, many of which I have never seen before, and when you get them cheap, like $9.99 a season, it is a real value. You can buy 3, 4, 5, 6 complete series for permanent use for less than the cost of a month's worth of cable or satellite. And as I have said before, I believe hard copy production is going south, and at that point, you'll have to watch sub-par streaming or eventually (likely) a pay per view type deal. I want hard copies (of favorite CDs too).
Additionally, if you collect props and costumes, to be able to zoom through a series looking for specific episodes, scenes, props, etc., having the complete series is a resource that is absolutely invaluable, if for no other reason, the time it saves. Like they say- time is money, and sometimes in the hunt you have to prove something very quickly.
Did anyone list:
Planet of the Apes (series)
Return to the Planet of the Apes (1975 cartoon series)
Johnny Quest
V, the series
Spiderman (1967 cartoon series)
The Maxx
Mannix
Freddy's Nightmares
Beetlejuice( cartoon series)
Groove Goolies(1970)
RedKing - The Man From UNCLE was released in an MGM complete four season box set for a while from Time Life. Each box contains 11 discs, and all four boxes come in an UNCLE briefcase. Plus two extra bonus discs. Now if they would only release Girl From UNCLE too. Go to TimeLife.com to see if Man/UNCLE is still available.

I'm not sure why they weren't on my list, but I do have the POTA TV series, some older V stuff, and the old Spidey cartoon set. Someday, I'd like to redo the way I have my movies listed. Maybe a spreadsheet or a database.

Rob
I have tons of stuff on VHS but my player spit- the- bit last summer so I'm sort of on the prowl for a new VHS player...
Dudes, you have on idea.
I've been unemployed for awhile, and will be for quite awhile longer, so I've had to stop buying DVDs, only watching them. Combining all the classic shows released with modern, if I began the list would go on pages.
Funny thing is, I NEVER sit down and rewatch the ones I have! I only have time to watch new stuff. But I still want to get them on DVD (they come in useful for loaning out to people, I tell myself).
The ones I'm itching for most though are MTV's Maxx (because I would like to see that again), Game of Thrones, Get A Life and Eagleheart, Falling Skies, Buck Rogers and oh egads EVERYTHING. :-\
My list of series that I have:
The Fugitive
Voyage To the Bottom Of the Sea(
The Invaders
Twilight Zone
Thriller
The Avengers(Emma Peel years)
The Outer Limits
Doctor Who(original & new series)
Battlestar Galactica(new series)
Star Trek(original series)
Night Gallery
V
Wonder Woman
Planet Of the Apes
Tales From the Crypt
Kolchak: The Night Stalker
Heroes
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Angel
Firefly
True Blood
The Walking Dead
Torchwood
Space:1999

My list of series that I have:
Voyage To the Bottom Of the Sea
Thriller
I'll put THRILLER on my list, as soon as the list gets smaller. I'd also like to get all of the Irwin Allen shows, which is about 10 seasons, total, so it will be a while before I get those. :)
Just a few of the ones I have that I didn't already see mentioned:
Witchblade
Forever Knight
Robot Chicken
Squidbillies
Titan Maximus
H.R. Pufnstuf (both the complete series and the 1970 Universal Pictures film)
I don't get much TV on DVD except for cartoons! ;D
I do have the Man From U.N.C.L.E. set that someone got me for Father's Day one year
And The Prisoner which is on VHS (I'm fine with that)...
Disney's The Scarecrow Of Romney Marsh! that my 80+ year old mom got for me the day it came out (!)
& Total Recall 2070 which is a 'must have' for a Dick-Head like me.
Wouldn't mind having The Wild Wild West, the (Peel) Avengers & the Girl From U.N.C.L.E.
Three favorites from childhood I'd probably pick up (if they were ever released) just to see again are
T.H.E. Cat ('66-'67 NBC), The Name Of the Game ('68-'71 NBC) & Search ('72-'73 NBC)
I'd pick up Highway Patrol, too as it features my favorite car of all time - the Broderick Crawford 55 Buick Century!
Since this subject is about Tv shows I need to get on DVD I will not bother mentioning what I have. Why is it people always seem to miss the subject....

I recommend the show, Maude. Funny, classic comedy.
