My wife and I settled into Sunday and Tuesday night routines watching True Blood (Sun.) and Fringe (Tues). Now that the series are done until next season, we've kinda been lost/bored on those nights.
In the meantime, the Twin Peaks Gold box set was released within the last year. I picked up the set recently (after big price drop) and we've watched the pilot and the first 4 episodes. So far, this has filled the Sun & Tues time slots well.
The pilot (first time released on dvd in US as far as I can tell) comes with two endings - the US tv version and the international version which has an ending that wraps things up so it stands on its own as a complete film (it's the same ending as the original vhs version of the pilot). If you haven't seen the series, or if you are watching it with someone who hasn't seen the series, you might consider not watching the int'l ending right away to avoid spoilers.
The menu for each disc allows you to watch with or without the Log Lady Intros which were developed for the series when Bravo picked it up.
The special features (haven't watched any yet) include Kyle McLachlan hosting SNL and the Twin Peaks sketch.
I've read reports that discs 2 and 6 had a menu defect that wouldn't allow you to jump to episodes. I played disc 2 with no problems. Some of the user comments on Amazon tell how to get replacement discs if your set contains these defects.
