Choosing a complete-series DVD set for movies & TV means weighing more than a favorite sitcom. The practical choice is between the lowest listed price, a larger disc collection, a specific aspect ratio, or a longer named season run. All four selections are Brand New comedy DVDs, but each suits a different kind of collection.
Quick take
Start with The Big Bang Theory: the Complete Series when the lowest listed price is the first priority. Leave It to Beaver Complete Series 1-6 is the classic-comedy pick, while Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman stands out for its 38-disc box-set presentation and its Louise Lasser and Joan Darling credits. Bob's Burger Complete Series 1-16 carries the highest listed price, but it covers the widest named run of seasons and is described as an animated sitcom collection.
Listed-price comparison
| Complete-series DVD set | Listed price | Price position |
|---|---|---|
| Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman: the Complete Series 38 Discs | USD 50.00 | |
| Leave It to Beaver Complete Series 1-6 (36 DVD Box Set) | USD 38.99 | |
| Bob's Burger Complete Series 1-16 (DVD) | USD 68.99 | |
| The Big Bang Theory: the Complete Series (DVD) | USD 36.28 |
The listed range runs from USD 36.28 to USD 68.99, a spread of USD 32.71. Price alone does not settle the decision: the sets differ in their stated disc counts, season coverage, presentation details, and comedy style.
Decision matrix
- Choose The Big Bang Theory for a 16:9 DVD presentation with English subtitles and the lowest listed price in this group.
- Choose Leave It to Beaver if the stated 1.33:1 aspect ratio and classic TV-comedy format fit the kind of collection you want.
- Choose Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman when the named Louise Lasser performance or Joan Darling direction is part of the appeal.
- Choose Bob's Burger Complete Series when animated-sitcom comedy and a multi-season family ensemble are the priority.
Product notes
Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman
Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman is a strong match for someone seeking the specifically named 38-disc complete-series box set. Louise Lasser is listed as the actor and Joan Darling as director, giving this English-language comedy collection clear creative identifiers. The NR rating may also suit shoppers looking for a set with that stated classification. At USD 50.00, it lands in the middle of the four listed prices rather than at either end of the range. That price is the main limitation for a shopper whose decision begins strictly with the lowest listed amount, since two other complete-series options are listed for less.
Leave It to Beaver
Leave It to Beaver Complete Series 1-6 brings Seasons 1 through 6 together in a 36-disc DVD box set. Its English-language, NR-rated TV-comedy framing makes it the most direct choice here for a classic sitcom collection. The stated 1.33:1 aspect ratio is also a meaningful selection point for viewers who prefer that presentation. Its limitation is equally specific: shoppers seeking the 16:9 presentation listed for The Big Bang Theory will be choosing between two different screen formats. At USD 38.99, Leave It to Beaver sits near the low end of the listed-price range.
Bob's Burger Complete Series
Bob's Burger Complete Series 1-16 is the clearest fit for an animated-sitcom fan who wants the named Seasons 1 through 16 in one DVD set. The description centers on the Belcher family, and the attributes identify an English-language, NR-rated Region 1 DVD collection. That makes its viewing focus more distinct than the other comedy sets in this comparison. The tradeoff is price: USD 68.99 is the highest listed amount among the four choices. Pick it when its animated family-comedy direction and extended season range matter more than keeping the initial listed price low.
The Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory: the Complete Series is the straightforward starting point for shoppers who want the lowest listed price, at USD 36.28. It is a Brand New English-language comedy box set with a 16:9 aspect ratio, directed by Mark Cendrowski and featuring Johnny Galecki. English subtitles are also included in the description. Its limitation is format-specific rather than broad: the 16:9 presentation makes it a less direct match for someone who is specifically looking for the 1.33:1 aspect ratio stated for Leave It to Beaver. For price-first buyers, however, it is the clearest place to begin.
Final recommendation by use case
Make The Big Bang Theory: the Complete Series the first choice when the listed price is the deciding factor. Choose Leave It to Beaver for a classic TV-comedy collection, and pick Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman when its named actor and director are central to your interest. Go with Bob's Burger Complete Series when animated family comedy is the main reason for buying a complete-series DVD set.
