If you were just to get one, I would definitely get the 1st season. You'll be surprised how many of the most classic and well know episodes came out of that season. I was blown away, when I watched the 1st season DVD set, a few years back when it was released. It's more surprising watching the show by season, in chronological order. What a first season!
I have owned the series on DVD when they were releasing them on single disc sets, all mixed up, not by season. I then sold those off, and bought the season sets which I also sold, and have now been buying the Blu-ray sets. Hands down, the blu-rays are the best treatment this series has ever gotten. If you're even a bit more than a casual fan, I know you'll get hooked watching these, and if you are just a casual fan I can see you becoming more than that.
1st season is definitely a safe bet though.
So far, $45 is about as good as it's gotten price wise. I don't see it going much lower for a while. The DVD sets held pretty tight at just under full price for ages. I got them all from a Deep Discount DVD sale for $30 a season. Who knows what the holiday sales will bring though.
Anyway, let me know what you think, if you get it.
