Buzz's Gift Guide: Box Set Bonanza!
Welcome back to my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. Yesterday I came up with some ideas for your coworkers, and today, I'm focusing on some splurge gifts for someone special: DVD box sets. These sets, whether a whole TV series or a collection of films, are pricier than the average gift, so they're definitely meant for that superfan who you know will cherish these DVDs forever.
Do You Wait For Special Edition DVDs?
This week's release of the 10th anniversary Sports Night DVD collection got me thinking about DVD sets and how I choose to add to my own collection.

Now, admittedly, I've been caught up in my share of Jon and Kate episodes — but I can't say I've ever had the hankering to rewatch one once I know what happens. Will people really want to rehash their favorite Gosselin family moments?

New Details about "My So-Called Life" DVDs
The Web site TV on DVD reported a while back that a new "My So-Called Life" DVD set was in the works, thanks to Shout! Factory, the company responsible for the fantastic "Freaks and Geeks" collection. Now, the site has tipped me off to some awesome new details about the set, which is to be released Oct.
