Funds permitting, of course. And some of these DVD sets actually exist; others are just fantasies.

I think Everybody Loves Raymond may be the most overrated show on television. All of the characters except Raymond have become unbearable. Deborah is the worst offender. What a harpy!

Hmm... maybe I shouldn't be second-guessing myself. I'll consider removing it.

Dude, we have the exact same stuff on our lists!!! Scary considering I'm 20 years older than you.

Whoa, I didn't notice how many TV series we had in common on these. And to be honest, I should probably add a few more from your list. I really liked the few Cowboy Bebop episodes I saw, and while I've never watched Fawlty Towers, I am a big John Cleese fan. Thanks!

Fawlty Towers is incredible. John Cleese is manic and the supporting cast are perfect. Written with his wife (of the time), Connie Booth, she also plays the maid - Polly. This is considered by many in the UK as the greatest ever TV comedy, second to none. I can recommend to all, but to a big John Cleese fan - essential. Only 12 epsiodes ever made, continually repeated on UK TV.

West Wing is the best TV I've ever seen (IMHO), but Homicide is a very close second, and NYPD Blue third.

Happy watching!

i recommend CHEERS season 1 & 2. i have both and i am a huge fan of CHEERS. its god because un-like friends (which i love) there not as 'picture perfect' in ways of manners and looks, theere more realistic. which makes it great. sometimes i think..''if the friends were meant to be out of work at the beginnig..HOW COME THEY HAVE THOSE HUGE APARTMENTS!!?''
Check out cheers
