Boxset hell

[graculus]

This year looks like being tv series boxset hell for me - here I am, packing a load of stuff away (I mean literally boxes full of tv show tapes) and the tv companies insist on putting out boxsets that call my name and plead for me to buy them. It's a conspiracy, I tell you!

Even without the promised season 1 Man from UNCLE, over which sad saga we shall draw a veil for now, this is how 2006 is shaping up already:

Bought: Magnificent Seven season 1

Pre-ordered: Wild Wild West season 1, Slings and Arrows season 1

Hoping to get a better price in the US next month, but they will be mine: Boston Legal season 1, Numb3rs season 1, Wonderfalls

Things to which I am giving serious consideration, many of them out later this year: The Adventures of Brisco County Junior, ReGenesis season 1, Rome season 1, Life on Mars season 1, Carnivale season 1, Invisible Man season 1 (in two boxsets, so twice the evil!), Veronica Mars season 1, Threshold

Things I would buy in a heartbeat if they came out: Man from UNCLE *wails*, the rest of Wild Wild West, Magnificent Seven season 2, and probably other stuff I'm not thinking of right now...

See what I mean? Anyway, I'm sure I'm not alone in the contents of my wallet being sucked away by shiny things, so what's on your shopping list for this year? ;)

Due South - I know this has been out for a while, but I do have to consider the household budget occasionally and its been rerunning on satellite
UFO - whichever season it is I haven't got
X-files - Season 3 to 7
Captain Scarlet (new CGI series) - Season 2
Captain Scarlet original - Volume 2 (I have 1, 3, 4 and 5)

Sharpe - new series airing tonight

NCIS is due out June 6th.

And as for Due South, jeez those boxsets are expensive! Am also a heretic, since I only really like the Kowalski years, which is much more due to the hotness of CKR than anything else... ;)

BTW, when I was over at Amazon today, I see they're doing the X Files boxsets for £12.97 each...
