Paramount+, but not every title is available. Plus, for some, it’s nicer to own a DVD or Blu-ray copy of a movie or TV show season, or even an entire series. It’s simple to watch when there’s no Internet connectivity, like on the road in an RV or at the remote cabin with spotty connectivity.
Plus, collectors love keeping items from favorite shows, actors, and franchises. When it comes to Paramount, the list of options is long with a massive library of titles. And for Amazon Prime Day, there are some available for deep discounts, making it the perfect time to stock up or grab some for gifts.

Beavis & Butt-Head: The Complete Collection

Happy Days: Seasons 1-6
Popularizing the black leather jacket and the thumbs up “Ey!” along with the bad boy persona, Henry Winkler played The Fonz in all six seasons of this iconic ‘70s and ‘80s sitcom about high schoolers living in the Midwestern U.S. in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Happy Days aired for a total of 11 seasons.

Mission Impossible: The Original TV Series
Before there were the movies starring Tom Cruise, Mission Impossible was a TV series starring Peter Graves as Jim Phelps (Steven Hill in the first season as Dan Briggs) working within a covert team of secret government agents.
The series aired for seven seasons from 1966 through to 1973 and the Mission Impossible: The Original TV Series box set includes 46 discs with all 171 episodes.

Dexter: The Complete Series
Arguably one of the best series of the mid-2000s with one of the worst endings (thankfully this was rectified with the 10-episode limited series Dexter: New Blood in 2021), Dexter told the story of a vigilante serial killer who redirected his dark urges to kill only criminals he could prove had done heinous things.
While shocking things happened in Dexter: New Blood as well. Earning multiple Emmy nominations and wins, including five in a row for lead actor Michael C. Hall, it’s the type of show worth watching for those who missed out on the original run, and re-watching for fans who vote it among favorites.
Family Ties: The Complete Series

Fox starred in this NBC sitcom that aired for seven seasons from 1982 to 1989. The story followed the Keaton family, which included former hippie parents and their children, including the wildly conservative, suit-and-tie wearing son Alex (Fox).
On the 28 discs in the Family Ties: The Complete Series box set are all 176 episodes of the show that also starred Justine Bateman, Meredith Baxter, and Michael Gross.
Nathan For You: The Complete Series
With comedian Nathan Fielder’s new series The Rehearsal just released, it’s the perfect time to catch up on Nathan For You, his satirical docu-reality show where the Canadian sets out to help others with their businesses.

The Twilight Zone: The Complete 80s Series
It defined a generation and even spawned a revival headed up by Jordan Peele in 2019. The Twilight Zone first aired from 1959-1964 and was brought back for a second series in 1985 through to 1989, which is what is available in this The Twilight Zone: The Complete '80s Series box set. The three seasons included 65 episodes, all featuring speculative fiction, touching on everything from the paranormal to dystopian worlds, horror, black comedy, and psychological thrills.
Shows like American Horror Story would not have existed without The Twilight Zone paving the way, so it’s a good show to keep on disc and re-watch again and again.
