Product notes
Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman: the Complete Series 38 Discs
Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman is a strong match for viewers who specifically want this complete-series comedy and appreciate the named creative credits: Louise Lasser is listed as actor and Joan Darling as director. The box-set edition has a stated 38-disc count, giving it a notably expansive physical collection to work through. It is also listed as NR, which may matter for shoppers who use ratings as part of their selection process. The practical trade-off is the disc volume: a 38-disc set involves more disc changes than the seven-disc Gravity Falls collection. Choose it for the series, its cast and director credits, and its large disc count.
Rookie Season 1-8 Complete Series DVD Set - (25 discs
Rookie Season 1-8 Complete Series DVD Set suits viewers interested in the story of John Nolan, a former construction contractor who joins the Los Angeles Police Department after helping solve a bank robbery. The listed 25-disc set covers Seasons 1-8 and comes in a tall DVD case. Its premise emphasizes training, street cases, skepticism from younger colleagues, and Nolan's perseverance as an older rookie officer. That makes this a focused pick for police-work storytelling rather than a comedy-first collection. The limitation is therefore tonal: shoppers seeking the comedy emphasis of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman or Bob's Burger may prefer those series instead.
Gravity Falls: The Complete Series, Seasons 1-3 DVD (7-Discs Set
Gravity Falls: The Complete Series, Seasons 1-3 DVD (7-Discs Set is the clearest choice for a compact complete-series box set at the lowest listed price in this comparison. It packages Seasons 1-3 across seven discs and is listed for DVD Region 1 in the US and Canada. That combination makes it appealing when you want the full Gravity Falls run without moving into the higher listed-price range of the other collections. Its limitation is its three-season scope: it is a shorter run than the Season 1-8 Rookie collection or the Season 1-16 Bob's Burger collection. Pick it when a smaller complete-series set best fits your plans.
Bob's Burger Complete Series 1-16 (DVD) Brand New/Sealed *Free
Bob's Burger Complete Series 1-16 (DVD) Brand New/Sealed *Free is aimed at shoppers who want a lengthy animated sitcom collection centered on the Belcher family. The set is described as covering Seasons 1-16, with comedy as its listed genre, and it comes in a tall DVD case. It is also marked for DVD Region 1 in the US and Canada. This is the right direction for someone who wants many seasons of Bob, Linda, Tina, Gene, and Louise in one collection. The trade-off is its $68.99 listed price, the highest among these four choices. Choose it when the show's 16-season animated-comedy scope outweighs the higher entry price.
Final recommendation by use case
Choose Gravity Falls for a shorter complete-series run in a seven-disc box set. Choose Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman if Louise Lasser and Joan Darling's credited involvement is part of the appeal. Choose Rookie for John Nolan's LAPD-centered story across eight seasons. Choose Bob's Burger when an animated comedy about the Belcher family is the viewing experience you want most.
