![]() | 30 Days - Season 1
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.96 2005 - Present - From the maker of "Super Size Me", but much better. This series centers around the lives of people in situations other than what they are used to over the course of 30 days. It's an interesting, well-done, entertaining show and worth watching.

![]() | All in the Family - The Complete First Season
Buy new: $22.99 / Used from: $11.88 1971 - 1979 - One of the most influential TV series of all time which, sadly, gets a VERY poor DVD treatment. The show itself is still amazing, though, and worth watching! You'd have to be a meathead to think otherwise.
|
![]() | Arrested Development - The Complete Series (Seasons 1, 2, 3)
Buy new: $82.49 / Used from: $48.60 2003 - 2006 - Oh, gee, look, another great series killed off by Fox. What a shock. Too bad no one else picked up this fantastic show! Still, at least we can enjoy it on DVD!
|
![]() | Battlestar Galactica - Season One
Buy new: $34.99 / Used from: $18.97 2004 - Present - Who would have expected a modern take on a crappy 1970's TV series to be so incredibly GOOD? There's a reason it's been selected as one of the best shows on TV by many critics. Season four is just around the corner! Catch up on the previous three on DVD!
|
![]() | Family Guy, Vol. 1 (Seasons 1 & 2)
Buy new: $21.49 / Used from: $9.51 1999 - Present - Another great series killed by Fox... and then happily brought back to life! Still one of the funniest, and strangest, shows on TV!
|
![]() | Futurama, Vol. 1
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $5.35 1999 - 2003 - This series died before its time, killed off by Fox's slavish desires to appease the NFL fans. Assigned a crap time slot, this show, like "Star Trek", was canceled long before it should have been. Like "Star Trek", its coming back!
|
![]() | House, M.D. - Season One
Buy new: $23.99 / Used from: $15.97 2005 - Oh, Doctor House, you borderline sociopathic fellow! Who knew Hugh Laurie could play such an incredibly interesting character as this? Usually when TV shows put an unlikeable character in the lead, the show fails. Thank goodness that's not the case here! And remember, it's never lupus.
|
![]() | It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Seasons 1 & 2
Buy new: $20.49 / Used from: $24.75 2005 - Present - Dear god, what a messed up group of people. The cast of this show makes the "Seinfeld" group look normal by comparison! Plus, hey, Danny DeVito!
|
![]() | King of the Hill - The Complete First Season
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $2.99 1996 - Present - A very simple series, really, but very entertaining. Not as in-your-face as some of the other shows on this list, but still good. Sadly, it looks like Fox is trying to kill this one, too (only 12 episodes last season), so enjoy it while you can!
|
![]() | My Name is Earl - Season One
Buy new: $30.49 / Used from: $6.49 2005 - Present - Very few sitcoms on network TV are actually laugh-out-loud funny. This is one of them. If a prostitute in her fifties failing to seduce someone and saying that, "towards the end I even pulled out [her] good bood!" doesn't make you laugh, you must be dead.
|
![]() | The Office - Season One
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $7.50 2005 - Present - Everyone knows that when US networks adapt British TV for American audiences the result is tragic. Thankfully in this case everyone was wrong! This show goes in directions the BBC series never did and is better for it.
|
![]() | Robot Chicken, Season 1
Buy new: $23.99 / Used from: $8.98 2005 - Present - Where else would you see "March of the Penguin", "My Little Pony: Apocalypse Pony", Smurfs investigating murder and Care Bears commiting it? Good times, good times.
|
![]() | Roseanne - The Complete First Season
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $13.48 1988 - 1997 - Ok, so the last season was not great (though the final episode was). Still, for most of its run, this was the most realistic sitcom family on TV and even now the episodes are relevant and funny. A pity the first season DVD had cut episodes, but even cut ones are worth it!
|
![]() | The Simpsons - The Complete First Season
Buy new: $21.49 / Used from: $4.13 1990 - Present - Who would have thought this series would last this long? Now in the 18th season (!), and still just as funny as ever! Quality DVDs include commentary for every episode! Why doesn't Paramount do the same? Who the heck knows.
|
![]() | South Park - The Complete First Season
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $7.77 1997 - Present - One of the more demented series out there, but ever-so-good. They've touched on issues the other shows wouldn't even think about, and done so with great laughs!
|
![]() | Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Complete Series (Seasons 1-7)
Buy new: $313.99 / Used from: $299.99 1993 - 1999 - Paramount's red-headed step-child. The series the suits ignored. Thank goodness! The first couple seasons are a little "meh", but boy, once it got going it never stopped! No other Trek series has this level of characterization and writing. Worth every penny, even with Paramount's traditionally crappy DVD releases.
