Since you include science-fiction, I nominate a favourite of mine:
Babylon 5. It's available online, at least - I'm not sure about how
common it is to find in most shops. For those in Region 1, there
aren't that many options for how much to buy at a time; it seems to
be better available in Region 2.
Those having a thing for British murder mysteries might want to have
a go at Morse, or Inspector Lewis, a sequel to Morse - both are out
both in Regions 1 and 2. I just got the DVD-set with the first four
episodes of Lewis, and it is very enjoyable. The occasional name-
dropping of Morse aside, it stands quite well on its own, and the
developing relationship of now Detective Inspector Lewis and his
Sergeant Hathaway is nice to watch.
And Miss Marple - the 1984-1992 version with the late Joan Hickson
OBE (which I much prefer to Geraldine McEwan in this role) is out on
DVD, in both regions. David Suchet's interpretation of Poirot for
ITV is also available - there I prefer the earlier seasons.
Best regards
