Advantages: Fun,witty,exciting,dramatic and the box sets are relatively cheap too! Disadvantages: Season 4 was a let down
...What can i say about these boxsets? if you want to watch fun,witty,dramatic,emotional characters in brilliantly thought out storylines (other than series 4 which was a bit naff) coupled with excellent fight scenes,buy these boxsets!!!
series one was one of the best as youre introduced to the main characters and taken in by the tragic relationship between buffy and angel but this is eclipsed by the superb series2 in which angel turns evil and throws the whole storyline on its head! i personally think this is one of the better series as joss whedon is able to make the audience feel the whole range of emotions-sadness,betrayal,happiness,shock,and laughter.
Series 3 was a bit of a comedown after the shocking finale to series2 but with the introduction of faith (the new slayer) and the hygiene obsessed mayor its still one of the best...

Advantages: Great Value For Money Disadvantages: Doesn't include extra's like the Smeg Ups!
...This is a great DVD showcasing series1 to 4 in a nicely presented boxset, thats all twenty-four episodes including 'The End', 'Future Echoes', 'Balance Of Power', 'Waiting For God', 'Confidence And Paranoia', 'Me2'...
If your looking for the added extra's and smeg up's of this popular TV comedy then unfortunately these aren't included.
For the die hard Red Dwarf fans out there you might prefer to buy the separate seriesboxsets with all the added extra's, but if all your looking for a nice compact DVD boxset of the first 4 series (which are the best in my opinion) then its definately worth buying.
At around the same price as buying two separate series DVD's its great value for money too....

Advantages: Anarchic, squalid, violent and downright hilarious Disadvantages: You will have stomach ache after watching becuase of all the laughing
...These 2 are proberbly the best comedy scetches that has ever been produced in the UK an absoluty cracking DVD to buy. I would say that is is produced for the adult in his 30's to 40's. But if you have the slightest sence of humor then you will be rolling around on the floor laughin. I have check the price out on this site and would say that it is one of the best prices for this DVD around. Now if you have bought this or thinking about buying it then i do recomend that you spend a bit more money and buy The Big Bottom Boxset. These are all of the bottom live shows and the movie, persionaly i would say that it is worth the money because you will have hours of laughter out of these DVD's...
