Huzzah! Glad I'm not the only one who's a TV fanatic. And yeah, series are way too expensive. I'd seriously recommend getting a DVD player where you can hack the regional code to make it multi-regional, and then purchasing stuff from overseas.
My mum has a DVD player that plays both regions, which is pretty cool. When I moved back from America I brought a DVD player and my DVDs with me! So I have two players hooked up (one with a power converter obviously) and can watch both regions; this is great because some of the movies I liked as a kid you can't even get on DVD in Australia now, but I find them on eBay all the time in US Region and I'm like "Cool!"
