I always sign up fore those notify me when it's released list in hopes somebody might be looking at it.
Me we could make up some of those list sand and it send to the clown that distributes a particular show.

UK show in the Us isn't without its problems.
Armchair Thriller
I have 2 series of 4 discs, with some episodes merged into one.
Amazon UK has 11 discs.
It seems nobody has series one except a paid for down load site.
Other series have had their episodes merged or altered.

And any body who has a complete set of Doctor Who, you get my vote for the king of TV collectors.

hmmm... I didn't even include my miniseries in my list of completed series. I guess I personally relate them more towards movies then TV Series.

I don't count those as Complete TV series either as they don't run for a season and aren't continued.

Many British TV series would be called mini-series by US audiences. "The Prisoner" was a series. Seventeen episodes. I would consider "Roots" "From the Earth to the Moon" and "The Thorn Birds" as series, short as they were. Many "series" have far fewer hours in them. Think of 13-week unrenewed sitcoms...

If I included only complete completed series (including mini-series) I own 69 sets (counting my two sets of "The Prisoner" "From the Earth to the Moon" and "Zorro" and other such as one each). This does not include series like "Warehouse 13" "Bones" "Castle" "Mad Men" "The Simpsons" "South Park" and others where I own copies of every episode from every season... these are ongoing and incomplete. It also does not include completed series within other series ("Annette" from "The Mickey Mouse Club" or the two seasons of "Davy Crockett" from "Disneyland") or incomplete series within other series where they have yet to release additional seasons (the first seasons of "Spin and Marty" and "The Hardy Boys" from the MMC). My 69 does not include completed TV series where the entire series is unavailable in Region 1 DVDs or Blu-rays ("Have Gun - Will Travel" "Mad About You" "The Lone Ranger" and others), or they've released one or two seasons of three season or longer series ("St. Elsewhere" "Dream On" "Cybill" "Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp" "Murphy Brown" "The Lone Ranger" and more). Or series where (except for some that have limited release collectors' editions) all but one or two episodes are not on DVD ("So Little Time" "The Fuccons"). I also did not include TV series where seasons have not been issued, but random episodes collections ("Annie Oakley" "Love That Bob" "One Step Beyond" "Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" "Date with the Angels" "Life with Elizabeth" and others) where I have many, and often all which has been released.

If we add these incomplete series, I have two to three times as many series as my 69 counted in my collection.

I currently have 88 complete TV series. I still need to get the final seasons of "The Rockford Files" and "Family Ties"...don't know why I've never completed those two .

I stopped collecting "Gunsmoke" and "Rawhide" when the greedy studios starting splitting the seasons into two separate releases to gouge us even more .

Reason why you haven't completed Family Ties...? Seasons 6 and 7 haven't been released yet... 

I left out mini-series from my list as I also don't count these as a 'TV series'.

I nearly included Roots, because it had two separate series....but, once again, I considered these as two separate mini-series events.

Having said that, I will say that I agree regarding the British TV shows situation. A series like 'Bonekickers' only ran for one series, and then didn't get a second series.
However, at the time it aired there were rumours that it would get a second series depending on the viewing figures. Figures weren't high enough so it didn't get picked up.

On the flip side of that, Downton Abbey was only meant to be a one-off. But it proved so popular that they are bringing it back for a second series. I even remember pre-ordering the DVD when it was simply 'Downton Abbey'....but shortly before it's release it change to 'Downton Abbey: Series 1'.

I wish I could complete Firefly, adding another 2½ seasons at least.

I basically go by how it was originally meant to run. If it was meant to be a series run then it counts as a series. If it was basically meant to be only a two or 3 (or what have you) night event then it is a miniseries more like a movie in my opinion.

When a miniseries involves just 2 or 3 parts, I can fully understand your way of thinking. However, there are also miniseries such as The Pacific, which take significantly longer than one night to watch. The problem remains where to draw the line.

"Quark" was meant to be a series. It died after eight 30-minute episodes. Yet, by all definitions, it was a series... just cancelled quickly. "The Prisoner" was sold to British TV as a twelve episode (of one hour each) series. The network talked them into making seventeen episodes. It was never meant to continue. I consider it a far better series than "Quark" yet, by your definition, it remain a mini-series and does not count. I disagree.

"Turn On" was supposed to be a series, but was cancelled after one half hour show. some say the decision to cancel the series came while it was airing on the east coast and that by the time it aired on the west coast, they knew they'd never make a second episode. Yet you might call it a series. Intentions mean little. Do or do not; there is no try.
