For those times when watching on TV isn’t good enough.
You can pick up the set of season 1 and season 2 on the cheap at the moment. Who knows how long the sale will last but as of the time of writing this, you can get them both for just about $15 apiece. That’s much less than the average cost of buying each episode online and it’s a significant discount on the list price of $29.98 for each DVD set.
I’ve already written about each of these Eureka DVD sets, so just click the images to read more.
With the Eureka Season 1 DVD, we get to ride along as Jack Carter becomes Sheriff of this super secret government sponsored town of geniuses who need someone uniquely able to keep things under control when the scientists can’t.

Fans of Eureka will want to start their DVD collection with the Eureka Season 1 box set not only because it’s the beginning of a great series but because it’s the kind of season you’ll want to watch over and over.
My personal favorites of this season include the fantastic pilot episode, which hooked me on Eureka immediately. Many Happy Returns really opened my mind up to the possibilities of Eureka and made it clear Eureka was something different. I enjoyed Alienated and Right as Raynes for the early look into Jo’s life. Finally, Once in a Lifetime brought the season to a dramatic close and is an episode that packs a lot of emotional punch. It’s been nice to see how it has all come together in later seasons after going back to watch this one yet again, now that season 4 has come to a close.

The Eureka Season 2 DVD is a collection of episodes that are perfect for watching again and again.

The thing about the season 2 DVD box set is that you’ll want to watch it all the time. It has a collection of some awesome Eureka episodes, and some of them are my personal all time favorites from Eureka.
Noche de Suenos is fantastic. Despite everything that’s happened with the characters’ lives, romantically speaking, I still laugh at this one with its Fargo/Zorro/Stark/Jo scene. It is spectacular and I know it makes no sense but this still makes me long for romance between two characters who couldn’t be more different–or wrong for each other. The introduction of Zane in E=MC…? is hard to beat, but Maneater just about does it. Unpredictable has one of my favorite scenes of the series, with Carter barely able to stand in gale force winds. You really have to see it at least ten times to enjoy it the most… ;-)
While those are all fun episodes, Phoenix Rising and Try, Try Again sets Henry on a path that scared me, for him. I shouldn’t have worried because in the long run, it all works out for the good of everyone, but his arc is mysterious and dark and adds a lot to season 2.

I like season 3 of Eureka because it has a lot of great episodes. Fans of the show are going to know that things change pretty dramatically in the first episode of season 4, but if you want those changes to have any kind of impact, you have to have watched season 3 and really understand where the show and characters are at the end of the season. Besides, season 3 is great and it has some really terrific episodes. Just see my list of favorites at the bottom of this page.
Season 3 of Eureka has 2 DVD sets: Eureka Season 3.0 DVD set and Eureka Season 3.5 DVD set. This was the first season Eureka’s DVD sets were split into two parts, probably because season 1 and season 2 had fewer episodes and a lengthy hiatus separated the two halves of season 3.

So much happens in this first half of season 3 that it makes it almost impossible to summarize without spoiling something. I can say that characters come and go, and one of them I’ll miss until the bittersweet end of the series.
Eureka Season 3.5 DVDClick the image or link to see this set at Amazon.
In season 3.5, I enjoyed the foray into romance. Characters develop quite a bit and fun, interesting things happen to almost everyone in at least one episode.
I have watched all of these episodes multiple times, for a variety of reasons. Some are just plain fun, while some have heart and simply deserve to be watched more than once.
A lot of people complain about DVD sets that have only half a season of episodes on them. Although I would prefer a complete season set myself, I don’t mind these kind of sets. They don’t usually cost any more per episode than series like Chuck, which are quite expensive for the whole season.
If you go the digital route and buy the episodes online from somewhere like Amazon you are going to pay less than the combo of the season 3.0 and 3.5 DVD sets. But what’s the fun in that when you’ll miss out on the extras?
The Eureka Season 4.0 DVD contains approximately half of the episodes that make up Eureka’s season 4. The Eureka Season 4.5 DVD contains the remaining half of the episodes.
The lastest Christmas episode (Do You See What I See?) is not on the 4.5 DVD set but O’ Little Town is, along with the Warehouse 13 episode Don’t Hate the Player featuring a heavy dose of Fargo.
What made season 4 special was the sudden changes that occurred with the end of the first episode of the season. After an event that changed the timeline, Eureka’s history was just different enough to be interesting but not so much as to fundamentally change the show I already loved.
Fans of the series certainly won’t want to skip either half of season 4. The fourth season was drawn out over a two year period so it’s easy to be confused about what’s in season 4 and what’s not. Between both DVD sets, you’ll have all the season 4 episodes (except Do You See What I See?, see below), plus extra features, and an episode of Warehouse 13.
The Eureka TV series is certainly a TV series that’s fun and memorable enough to own on DVD. Episodes are enjoyable even the third and fourth times around, and the characters are smart and interesting, and stay true to form in season 4 despite everything.
There’s been enough character development over the course of the show to make the season 4 changes important and significant to me. The sudden shift in the lives of Eureka’s residents, such as Jo, Allison, Fargo and Henry, bring season 4 to life.

Episodes not to be missed!
Warehouse 13 is a fun sci-fi fantasy television series from Syfy about a couple of secret service agents who were transferred to a government run warehouse for mysterious artifacts and scientific devices that have been imbued with supernatural powers. Myka and Pete work together to collect these artifacts and devices and lock them away for the safety of the world.
If you want to buy any of the Warehouse 13 DVDs, the links below will take you to specific pages on this site for those DVDs and there you’ll find links where you can buy them. I’m also including a link below for your convenience because this is a good show and it’s definitely worth adding these DVDs to your TV show collections or memorabilia collections.
The Warehouse 13 Season 1 DVD box set includes all 12 episodes of the season: the pilot episode, Resonance, Magnetism, Claudia, Elements, Burnout, Implosion, Duped, Regrets, Breakdown, Nevermore, MacPherson. I liked the introduction of Claudia in season 1, but sometimes found her a bit annoying. Myka and Pete are fun characters, although I wish they had a bit more depth.
In the Warehouse 13 Season 2 DVD box set, there are 12 episodes: Time Will Tell, Mild Mannered, Beyond Our Control, Age Before Beauty, 13.1, Around the Bend, For the Team, Merge with Caution, Vendetta, Where or When, Buried, Reset. Season 2 introduced H.G. Wells as a character in several episodes, which I actually enjoyed a lot. Claudia grows on me in this season, and by the end, I quit thinking of her as someone I’d rather see less of. Missing in the season 2 DVD set is the Christmas episode Secret Santa.
The Warehouse Season 3 DVD box set has 3 discs and all the episodes that aired as part of season three, along with some bonus features. The bonus features include a DVD-exclusive chapter of the Warehouse 13 animated web series “Of Monsters and Men.”

The Merlin Season 3 DVD is finally available! It will be released on January 17, in a 5 disc set that contains the complete third season of episodes of this fantastical medieval TV series.
As an avid fan of Merlin, I encourage anyone who enjoys magic and fantasy TV shows to give Merlin a try. Adventure episodes are laced with humor and romance and delve into issues of trust and betrayal. I enjoy watching each episode, and season 3 has some really great episodes to further the story of Merlin, Arthur, Morgana, Guinevere, and Uther.
The Merlin Season 3 DVD Set
Syfy is about to begin airing season 4 of Merlin, where the adventure will continue with even more episodes.
Season 3 deepens the story, with several darker episodes, but there’s still that light-hearted, hope-filled feeling you get when you watch the show. Although I have an idea where things are going with Arthur, Merlin, and the rest, I can’t seem to quit hoping for a different turn of events!
This is the Region 1 set, for the U.S. and Canada.
Colin Morgan is Merlin, Bradley James is Arthur, Anthony Head is Uther (Arthur’s father, the King), Katie McGrath is Morgana, and Richard Wilson is Gauis.
Finally, you can preorder either the Falling Skies DVD or Falling Skies Blu-ray for the complete season 1!
When a show as good as this one comes out on DVD, I add it to my collection. The price is excellent too, at below $30 right now for the entire Falling Skies season 1 DVD, and under $35 for the Falling Skies season 1 Blu-ray.
What is it about Falling Skies that makes it something science fiction fans will want to buy? The series takes on the story of an alien invasion and turns it into an thrilling mystery, that’s why.
Noah Wyle and Moon Bloodgood are great at what they do, and it shows in their portrayals of their characters, Tom Mason and Anne Glass. Colin Cunningham, however, is the breakout actor/character for this show for me. I saw him in many episodes of the Stargate TV series, but I never thought of him as spectacular or great, but in Falling Skies, as Pope, he really shines as an actor, bringing John Pope to life as a crazy gang leader turned prisoner who might not be so crazy after all.
Although I liked every episode, in my opinion particularly good episodes from season one of Falling Skies include Prisoner of War (episode 3), Grace (episode 4), What Hides Beneath (episode 8), Mutiny (episode 9), and Eight Hours (episode 10).
Don’t miss the opportunity to get in on the preorder price guarantee to get the best price Amazon offers if you’re even sort of thinking of purchasing the Falling Skies DVD or Blu-ray set. There’s no specific release date listed, but it’s inevitable the sets will be out before the new season starts next summer.

For the moment, The Walking Dead Season 1 DVD is at a special price, heavily discounted on Amazon. Fans of this Emmy-winning, groundbreaking series, can buy the Season 1 DVD for their collection at a fantastic price.
This series is recommended for fans of zombies, apocalypse disaster stories, and anyone with a strong stomach!
I’m writing about this because I personally have just recently discovered this series (on Netflix) and the price is just a bit over the cost of a single movie ticket. The 2 disc set has 6 episodes and runs for 292 minutes. That’s a much better deal than a movie and then I get to watch each episode as many times as I want, like reading a good book all over again.
There’s a page about the season 1 DVD set for The Walking Dead, or for more information about The Walking Dead series itself.
You might like this TV show if you like disaster stories, apocalypse stories, or outbreak stories. I enjoy it, and I enjoy all those things!
The Walking Dead Season 1 DVD is a 2 disc box set of 6 episodes of the award winning AMC series about the survivors of a viral outbreak that causes what amounts to a zombie apocalypse.
A series for fans of zombies, apocalypse disasters, and anyone with a strong stomach for gore!
In season 1 of The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes searches for his wife and son, leads a group of survivors of the apocalypse, and searches for a safe haven. The Walking Dead TV show is creepy and nerve-racking at times, but good. If you have a weak stomach for gore, you might have to close your eyes a lot (me) but it’s worth toughing it out for the story underlying the gory details.
There are featurettes and extra footage, and several other extras.
