Building a movies tv shelf can get tricky fast: one shopper may want a complete classic sitcom run, another may want a newer season set, and another may care most about DVD versus Blu-ray. The four choices here sit across comedy, horror, supernatural thriller, and cult-leaning TV, with listed prices ranging from $18.99 to $43. The right pick depends less on one universal "best" choice and more on format, condition, genre, and how much of a series you want in one set.
Quick take
- Best for classic workplace comedy: Barney Miller: Complete TV Series - All 8 Seasons *Free, because it is a brand-new DVD set for a TV Comedy title with a long listed run time.
- Lowest listed price: Wednesday Season 2 (3-DISC) Sealed, a brand-new DVD option with English language and subtitles noted.
- Best Blu-ray choice: Grimm The Complete Series Blu-ray David Giuntoli Open, the only Blu-ray format here and centered on TV Horror with David Giuntoli named in the title and attributes.
- Broadest horror-season span: American Horror Story Season 1-12 TV series DVD SET, which is the highest-priced choice and puts seasons 1-12 in the title.
Listed price comparison
The listed price range runs from $18.99 to $43, so the lowest-priced set is 56% below the highest-priced set. That spread matters if you are choosing between a single newer season, a complete-series package, and a multi-season horror set.

Concise product notes
Barney Miller: Complete TV Series - All 8 Seasons *Free
This is the straightforward choice for someone who wants a classic sitcom run on DVD rather than a single-season sampler. The title points to the complete TV series and all 8 seasons, while the attributes add TV Comedy, English language, NR rating, and a 4440-minute run time. That combination makes it feel oriented toward repeat viewing or a shelf-ready sitcom collection. The main limitation is format: it is listed as DVD, so shoppers specifically building around Blu-ray should look elsewhere. The title also includes "*Free," but the strongest buying reason here is the complete-series wording and comedy genre, not any implied extra benefit.
Wednesday Season 2 (3-DISC) Sealed
Wednesday Season 2 is the leanest buy in this comparison for shoppers who specifically want that season in a compact disc set. The title calls out a 3-disc set, and the attributes list DVD format, 16:9 aspect ratio, English language, Standard Edition, and subtitles. Brand New condition also separates it from the open Grimm set. The limitation is scope: the title centers on Season 2, not a complete-series collection or a multi-season run. It is best for someone who already knows they want Wednesday and does not need the larger season coverage offered by the Barney Miller or American Horror Story sets.
Grimm The Complete Series Blu-ray David Giuntoli Open
Grimm stands out because it is the only Blu-ray option among the four, and the title names David Giuntoli for shoppers looking for that series and lead actor connection. The attributes add TV Horror genre, English language, 16:9 aspect ratio, Blu-ray case, and Region A coding. It is also described as the complete series, which gives it a broader scope than a single-season set. The tradeoff is condition: it is listed as Very Good and "Open," while three competing choices are Brand New. Choose it when Blu-ray format and the Grimm complete-series focus matter more than sealed or brand-new condition.
American Horror Story Season 1-12 TV series DVD SET
American Horror Story is the pick for shoppers who want the biggest horror-season span named right in the product title. Seasons 1-12 are included in the title, and the attributes list DVD format, DVD edition, Brand New condition, and the Movie/TV Title as American Horror Story. That makes it the most direct match for viewers prioritizing a long-running anthology horror set over a sitcom or supernatural procedural. The limitation is cost within this group: it sits at the top of the listed price range. It also lists "gtin: Does not apply," which may matter to shoppers who prefer a GTIN shown.
How to choose among them
Start with format. If you specifically want Blu-ray, Grimm is the only match. If DVD is fine, the other three become more relevant, and the decision shifts to genre and season coverage.
Next, decide whether you want one focused season, a complete series, or a broad multi-season run. Wednesday is the focused-season option, with Season 2 and 3-disc wording in the title. Barney Miller and Grimm both use complete-series language, making them better fits for shoppers who want a beginning-to-end set. American Horror Story takes a different route by naming seasons 1-12, which is compelling for horror fans who want a large run in one DVD set.
Condition is another simple divider. Barney Miller, Wednesday, and American Horror Story are listed as Brand New. Grimm is listed as Very Good and Open, so it asks shoppers to prioritize Blu-ray and complete-series appeal over the new-condition label.
Genre should finish the decision. Barney Miller is TV Comedy. Grimm is TV Horror with supernatural-thriller positioning in its description. American Horror Story is clearly for horror-series shoppers. Wednesday has Cult cinematic movement, English language, and subtitles listed, making it the more modern, character-specific season choice here.
Final recommendation
For most shoppers comparing across these movies tv sets, the safest first split is format: choose Grimm The Complete Series Blu-ray David Giuntoli Open if Blu-ray is the priority, because it is the only product here with Blu-ray format named. If DVD is preferred or acceptable, choose by genre and scope.
Pick **Barney Miller: Complete TV Series - All 8 Seasons *Free if you want a brand-new classic sitcom set with TV Comedy and a 4440-minute run time listed. Pick Wednesday Season 2 (3-DISC) Sealed if the lowest listed price, USD 18.99, and a Season 2 DVD set are the main draw. Pick American Horror Story Season 1-12 TV series DVD SET if the seasons 1-12 title wording is more important than staying near the low end of the price range; at USD 43.00**, it is the highest-priced option here, but it also carries the broadest horror-season span in its title.
