Some American teen dramas fall into two categories - annoying, or just very bad. Happily, The O.C. was one of the first to not fit into either of these and was more than watchable for at least the first two years.

The O.C.: The Complete First Season contains 27 episodes of the fictional lives of a group of teenagers and their families living in Newport Beach in Orange County, California. There’s also a small selection of extra features, including an audio commentary and deleted scenes.

3rd Rock From The Sun: The Complete Series £36.89

3rd Rock From The Sun is a comedy show about a group of extraterrestrial scientists on an expedition of Earth (the "3rd rock" from the sun) to observe human beings, under the disguise of a "family".

A total of 139 episodes were made over the course of six seasons, and the 3rd Rock From The Sun: The Complete Series set contains them all.

Bopha! £2.99

Morgan Freeman is rightly regarded as an excellent actor, but it has to be said that his first effort as a director was slightly disappointing. Bopha! is a drama adapted from a 1986 Percy Mtwa play that tells the story of a black policeman caught in the racist apartheid movement in South Africa that even divided the country’s blacks from each other.

Oddly, the version found on this DVD runs six minutes shorter than the one shown in cinemas - I can only assume that there have been some cuts.

Coupling: The Complete Series - Special Collector’s Edition £14.97

Americans often decide to try and make their own versions of hit British shows but most fail, including Red Dwarf and Coupling. Our version of Coupling centres on the dating and sexual adventures of six friends in their thirties, often showing the three men and three women talking amongst themselves about the same events - with entirely different terms.

The Coupling: The Complete Series - Special Collector’s Edition boxset has six discs which contain all 28 episodes made, from all four series’.

That Mitchell And Webb Look: Series One £4.43

David Mitchell and Robert Webb have achieved great success with Peep Show (which you can still get the complete collection of for £15.99 as part of another HMV boxset sale, by the way), but their comedy sketch show That Mitchell And Webb Look hasn’t received quite as many plaudits. Still very funny though.

That Mitchell And Webb Look: Series One contains the first six episodes, as well as a documentary and outtakes.

Ever Decreasing Circles: The Complete Series £13.99

From the team that brought us The Good Life comes Ever Decreasing Circles starring Richard Briers. This was much less brash than other situation comedies at the time, more closely resembling a comedy-drama in places.

Ever Decreasing Circles: The Complete Series contains all 26 episodes produced, as well as two Christmas Specials and an audio commentary.

Stargate SG-1: The Complete Series Plus The Ark Of Truth £86.97

The story of Stargate SG-1 begins one year after the events of the 1994 film Stargate, and chronicles the adventures of SG-1 who are the leading team in the exploration of the galaxy. They also help defend the Earth against all kinds of different alien threats.

The show ran for a total of 214 episodes across 10 seasons, and all of these are contained within the Stargate SG-1: The Complete Series Plus The Ark Of Truth boxset.

The Mrs Merton Show: The Complete Series £19.64

Caroline Aherne is probably most remembered for writing and starring in The Royle Family, but she originally rose to fame portraying the elderly host of The Mrs Merton Show. This mock talk show features interviews with various famous people, with the Debbie McGee and Bernard Manning ones perhaps being the best of the bunch.

The Mrs Merton Show: The Complete Series is a five disc boxset that contains all 29 episodes, including the pilot and a couple of Specials.

Star Trek: The Original Series - Season One (HD-DVD) £17.95

The death of the HD-DVD format also meant a very quick end to the high definition versions of Star Trek: The Original Series, for now at least anyway. Here’s hoping that Paramount decide to release the rest on Blu-Ray at some point in the future.

Star Trek: The Original Series - Season One has the first 29 installments with added CGI effects and digital re-mastering. You can also play these discs in a standard DVD player, as they are DVD on one side and HD-DVD on the other.

Spaced: The Definitive Edition £6.89

Long before either Shaun Of The Dead or Hot Fuzz hit the big screen, Spaced helped elevate Simon Pegg to something more than your average comedian. He was Tim Bisley, aspiring comic book artist and lover of cult fiction.

Spaced: The Definitive Edition contains the complete two series’ along with a whole host of bonus material, which includes a brand-new feature-length documentary titled "Skip To The End".
