That would be a cool collector’s item to have and the proceeds go to charity, which is always great but I bet it’s going to be uber expensive!!

True Blood voted best box set ever! via onthebox

If you’re anything like us then you’ve lost weekends to box sets in the past.

Our friends over at The Radio Times are also connoisseurs of television series in multi-disc form and have polled thousands of their readers to find out their favourites, and the results aren’t as predictable as you might think..

American supernatural series True Blood came top of the poll, beating 24 and Blackadder into second and third places respectively.

Here is the top 10 of their list!

1. True Blood
2. 24
3. Blackadder
4. Doctor Who – Series 1-4 (Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant)
5. The West Wing
6. Friends
7. Agatha Christie’s Marple
8. Fawlty Towers
9. The Wire
10. The Sopranos

I know that True Blood ranks high in my house…in fact it’s the only boxed dvd sets we have…but that’s mainly because of my unhealthy obsession for Alexander Skarsgard, although my husband was quickly drawn in for other reasons, I’m sure.  But it’s cool to see the show beat out some of these other greats!
