Bates Motel and Fargo, fantasy?? Really?
Here's Johnny! Top Ten fantasy Blu-ray boxsets and special editions
Blu-ray has become the bastion of the special edition boxset. And these are the most fantastical of all ... TV Boxsets and special collector’s editions have become Blu-ray’s best weapon in its battle for survival against streaming Video on Demand (VoD). With a 1080p edge, greater sonic clarity and on-the-shelf pride of …

I really didn't know that original Battlestar Galactica only had 24 episodes! Suppose I was too young to care or notice repeats.
Did see some battlestar 1980 though but even that couldn't taint my memories of the original series.
And the swell of that theme music still does funny things to me now.
Gotta get that for my birthday!

Pedantic attack!
The Twin Peaks set is missing the companion novel "Secret Diary of Laura Palmer"
The Hayao Miyazaki Complete Collection misses almost all short films but includes a bonus disc with a 90 minute conference piece where Miyazaki announces his retirement? Happily there's On Your Mark, probably the best animated music video most of you've never seen. (available on several video sharing websites of course)

If it's worth it, yes....
I rarely buy physical media anymore, but happily coughed up £60 last week for DVDs of all 4 seasons of the Phil Silvers show ,finally released.
Anyone who is going to spend time and effort releasing every episode of this 60 year old sitcom deserves my (and your) money.

"People really don't pay £60 for a blu ray do they?"
Some people must do, which is why they have such high prices to start with - and why I never buy them until I see them in a sale at a price I'm willing to pay.
Personally, although it's not a hard and fast rule, I'd say I'm comfortable with about £5-£6 for a film I'm confident I'll be able to enjoy more than once, and about £0.75-£1 per episode for a TV series, based on an OTTOMH estimation of some things I've bought in the past.

Re: Blu-Ray?
>It is that thing they fool you into thinking you can buy like a DVD but is in fact a DRMed crap like UV.
No, Blu-ray is like DVD - as such, steps are taken to prevent easy copying. Unless you bought an early BluRay machine, this won't affect you.
UV - Ultra Violet - refers to a DRM'ed copy of the film that that can be played on a tablet or other device if you have bought the BluRay disc. This is an attempt to give legitimately bought content a similar flexibility to ripped and decrypted content. Not every consumer wants to keep up to date with an arsenal of DRM-circumvention tools, and might think that buying a film on disc for £5 -and then being able to watch it on their tablet - is fair enough.
The story is more nuanced.

Re: Yer wat?
""The stories may be hockey"
As in "hockey stick graph" - something widely believed to be a loose combination of science and fiction, with the emphasis on fiction?"
Maybe it's Cockney rhyming slang? He's a bit hockey stick? Or I'm off to bed for a quick hockey puck? I am not aware of either of these being real, just speculating.
