5 of the Must-Keep-Watching DVD Boxsets of All Time

February 27, 2010

The notion of a television show that practically demands you keep watching it is here to stay. TV series are made to suck you in, and not just for advertiser dollars -- buying the dvd boxsets means you can smash through those shows in a marathon of viewing. Check out these 5 crazily addictive ones.

#5 "Gossip Girl"

It's like Melrose Place or the O.C., just a bunch of rich kinda crazy people doing awful things to each other. But there's no question that these spoiled private-school manhattanites make for a compelling viewing experience that keeps people watching.

#4 "True Blood"

There's just something about a bunch of crazy vampires and the metaphor of the gay community and the loads of crazy sex and over-the-top violence that makes people nuts for this show. If Bill the southern gentleman vampire doesn't turn your crank, you've got Anna Paquin's Sookie Stackhouse to make you crazy, too. Addictive as anything!

#3 Jersey Shore.

Reality TV at its absolute finest, Jersey Shore places a series of insanely exaggerated extroverts into a New Jersey beach house for the summer and watches the ridiculous, overblown, hilarious fireworks. People are continuously fighting, creeping, macking, and all the rest, and when you watch it all with the dvd boxsets, you'll have had your "guido" fill for many a year.

#2 The Office.

Sure, it's an ironic show that mocks the modern office environment, but they've managed to write in an absolutely wonderful romance story that has got practically the entire country hooked on this show and the ups and downs of its characters, and when you watch this tv series on dvd, you realize how well they've planned this all along.

#1 Lost.

Undoubtedly done to be one of the most addictive series ever made, Lost keeps a global viewing population riveted to their screens with the oldest trick in the book -- cliffhangers and the 'serial' model that reveals, bit-by-bit, a little piece of the whole. There's really nothing like it.
