TV Shows That Are Great On DVD

[GasX]

There have been some great shows with ongoing story lines that get you sucked into the story lines and make waiting a week for the next episode tough. For me, nothing fits this as well as The Shield.

Can anyone recommend any other good shows that I may have missed that are worth getting the DVDs to watch all at once?

note - I am specifically talking about serial shows with ongoing story lines rather than shows with stand alone episodes (like Law & Order or Star Trek, etc...)[/b]

Here are some I have seen and can recommend:

The Shield - best show on TV
The Wire - waiting for season 3 to hit the shelves
24 - hard to not watch it straight through when you have the DVDs
Profit - little known but entertaining

Firefly
Battlestar Galactica (2003's version).

Nothing is good on DVD that isn't better on DIVX

 

[BrokenVisage]

n/m, not really an ongoing story line lol

 

[LeiZaK]

Taken (10 episode mini-series)

 

[GasX]

Anything labelled, "An FX Original Series" usually qualifies. I am really looking forward to "Thief"

 

[mugs]

West Wing (first 4 seasons at least)
Six Feet Under
Dead Like Me
Sports Night

A pretty good list so far. I would also add Rescue Me.

Battlestar Galactica (2003; like DanTMWTMP suggested), Lost, Desperate Housewives (if you can get into something slightly soap opera-y), Deep Space Nine (if you like Trek -- it has some huge story arcs; I think there's a 16-episode arc in season 7), Arrested Development (surprisingly continuous episode to episode).
