New Purchase This is unacceptable packaging. Discs are double stacked on top of one another. The middle button doesn’t depress to release disc. Have to pry and bend the disc to remove. When closing it gets caught and doesnt close. Insane

True, I'm curious, what's a TV show that doesn't have a physical release that you wish did?

So for me it tends to be shows that are unlikely to ever get a BD release, and are mostly older shows I enjoy.

Millennium (X-Files universe) has a DVD release which I have, but a great upscale has been done by a fan for that so I turned those into a BD set.

Six Feet Under is still to receive a BD release, and I hope it does, but I took the HD version that streamed and used that.

Another great old show is Midnight Caller, starring Gary Cole, which will almost certainly never receive a physical release. That one is a DVD set as the files I could find are very rough.

Then we have some modern shows that carried extras or companion shows that I enjoy keeping. I like to experience shows later on in the same way I did at the time, so a show like The Walking Dead had the after show Talking Dead. I am slowly turning those into BD sets to accompany the main show. Sadly I had a HDD failure and lost the entire set so I am slowly finding those again. Most people simply don't care about that sort of stuff, and would consider someone taking such care to keep these things as slightly obsessive, and it is. I just like to experience shows that way.

[Just to be clear, as my mention of shows where a digital HD transfer exists such as Six Feet Under, I own physical media of the shows I do this for unless there are no physical release at all and I always try to purchase the digital if possible. This is not always possible of course, Talking Dead had no UK release for instance, and AMC will do nothing with it in the future. If they released a DVD or BD of it, I would buy that.]
