what would it be?

It's too long to wait another two weeks for season 2 of the Wire. I needs me something now. Sell me, please.

Freaks And Geeks. I never got to see it when it was on the air, but I'm loving this set. Absolutely brilliant television, and Linda Cardellini takes my breath away.

Yeah. Truly great show especially for network TV. Good thing one of my roommates has this set. I watched it all a while back.

I liked the Freaks and Geeks box, but I'd have to go with Arrested Development as well..

I'm still anxiously awaiting Get A Life. Since there aren't any of those box sets to buy I don't know what to say. The only box set I have is the first three seasons of Seinfeld and those are entertaining. Not willing to shell out the cash for my real desire, Star Trek in all it's various incarnations. I wonder how many thousands that would add up to?

I'm pretty sure there were about 35 episodes ( I had an episode guide printed out at one point), and I have all but one on VHS. Still, the DVDs are what it's all about. Now that was a show.

badass. How does the second overall compare to the first do you think? I was a bit wary because the second I believe has one disc completely devoted to Hollywood parodies (which are fine and all, but I much prefer the regular shorts). I'm eventually going to get the second of course (which I've heard has "The Big Snooze," which might be my favorite cartoon of all time), but the price is a bit prohibitive at the moment.

Wow! I think Arrested Development might win out. I've got Family Guy, Simpsons and Ren & Stimpy on lockdown.

I can't recommend the Sledgehammer box set any more... it's not possible.

I don't really know how they compare because I've only watched half of Vol. 2 (and there are parts of Vol. 1 I never got around to as well), but I'm pretty sure Vol. 1 is a little better. One great thing about the 2nd one is that the 2nd disc is almost entirely Chuck Jones Roadrunner cartoons.

I think disc 4 is entirely Hollywood parodies, and I haven't watched any of them yet. It's wierd that they decided to do that considering how many other ones with major characters still haven't been put on DVD. At any rate, I have no doubt that Vol. 2 is worth the money.

If I were to just buy one...

Seinfeld (once it is a complete set, of course)

Curb Your Enthusiasm is a good one that's been mentioned. The third season is supposed to come out soon, too.
