Concise product notes
King of the Hill Complete Series DVD Box Set Seasons 1-13 Comedy TV
This is the cleanest fit if you want an animated comedy series in one DVD box set. The title covers seasons 1-13, and the description frames it around Hank Hill, family, friends, neighbors, everyday Texas life, and memorable characters. It also lists English language, Animation and Comedy genres, and a DVD box set / multi-case collection style. The main limitation is format and presentation: it is a DVD release, not Blu-ray, and the features include Full Screen, which may not be the preferred presentation for every home setup or collector preference.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Complete Series DVD Seasons 1-17 (36-Disc) New
Pick this one if your priority is a large TV comedy run with a clearly stated disc count. The title says seasons 1-17 and 36-disc, while the attributes name Danny DeVito and list the genre as TV Comedy. The tall/DVD case format may also appeal if you prefer a more standard DVD-case style rather than a multi-case collection description. The tradeoff is that it sits near the upper end of this group's pricing, and it is still DVD format, so shoppers specifically looking for Blu-ray should look elsewhere in this comparison.
TV Movie of the Week: Collection Five [New Blu-ray] Australia - Import
This is the standout for shoppers who want Blu-ray rather than DVD. It is also the most distinct title here: an Australia-import drama collection from Imprint, with actors including Bette Davis, Robert Wagner, Denholm Elliott, and Clint Walk listed. The description mentions made-for-TV cult thrillers, including Killdozer and The UFO Incident, giving it a more anthology-like appeal than a sitcom box set. Its limitation is scope and price position: it is a collection rather than a complete long-running TV series, and it is the highest-priced item in this group.
CALL THE MIDWIFE Complete TV Series Seasons 1-14 DVD Box Set 41 Discs
This is the strongest starting point for someone who wants the Call The Midwife title in a substantial DVD box set. The title highlights seasons 1-14 and 41 discs, while the attributes identify the format as DVD and the edition as a box set. It is also the lowest-priced item in the comparison, which makes it stand out if you are balancing set size against cost. The limitation is genre fit: this is centered on Call The Midwife, so it will not satisfy a shopper looking for animation, TV Comedy, or the Blu-ray drama-import angle found elsewhere here.
How to choose among them
Start with format first. If Blu-ray is the priority, TV Movie of the Week: Collection Five [New Blu-ray] Australia - Import is the only match here. Its Australia-import wording and Drama genre make it a more collector-oriented pick than the DVD sitcom sets, but that comes with the top listed price in the group.
If DVD is fine, choose by viewing mood. King of the Hill Complete Series DVD Box Set Seasons 1-13 Comedy TV is the better fit for animated comedy and a complete series framing. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Complete Series DVD Seasons 1-17 (36-Disc) New is the better fit for a live-action TV comedy set with a clearly stated 36-disc count and seasons 1-17 in the title.
If the purchase is more about maximizing a complete-series box set at the low end of the listed range, CALL THE MIDWIFE Complete TV Series Seasons 1-14 DVD Box Set 41 Discs has the strongest price argument. Its listed price is USD 38.67, compared with USD 69.19 for the Blu-ray import, so the gap is substantial for shoppers who do not need Blu-ray format.
Final recommendation
For most comedy-focused shoppers, the safer all-around DVD pick is King of the Hill Complete Series DVD Box Set Seasons 1-13 Comedy TV at USD 45.99, because it combines a complete series claim, seasons 1-13, English language, and Animation/Comedy genre attributes while staying well below the top price in the group.
Choose It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Complete Series DVD Seasons 1-17 (36-Disc) New at USD 65.00 if seasons 1-17 and the 36-disc wording matter more than landing closer to the bottom of the price range. Choose TV Movie of the Week: Collection Five [New Blu-ray] Australia - Import at USD 69.19 only if Blu-ray format and the drama collection appeal are the deciding factors. For the lowest listed price, CALL THE MIDWIFE Complete TV Series Seasons 1-14 DVD Box Set 41 Discs at USD 38.67 is the clear price-led choice.
