Perry Mason. Rockford Files. The Waltons. Drama has taken many forms over the television decades, and it is arguably now more potent than ever. Some of the best dramas ever made have been produced in the past several seasons--shows that will be remembered as classics in 30 years, long after TV and computers have merged into what will be called "The Funbox."

At TV.com, we are addicted to dramas. That should come as no surprise, since we are addicted to all genres of television. We have problems with limiting the TiVo, to be sure. Dramas, especially. Whether you like mysteries or family tension, our drama roundup has something that will grip you.

Lost - The Complete First Season

It's the show that Ender's Game author Orson Scott Card called "the greatest science fiction television series ever made," and it's all yours for the taking! This series tells the harrowing story of a group of people from all walks of life who are stranded on a desert island after a plane crash. At first, they think they will be rescued. Gradually, it dawns on them that for some reason, their plane was miles off course, and no one knows where they are. Then, things start happening. A giant polar bear attacks and kills the pilot. A mysterious radio signal repeats over and over. A French woman warns them of people called "the others." They find a mysterious hatch that leads into the ground...locked from the inside! You'll be glued to your couch with this series, created by Damon Lindelof and J.J. Abrams.

This seven-disc set contains all 24 episodes from season one, as well as bonus commentary, cast interviews, bloopers, promos, deleted scenes, and multiple featurettes. Find fantastic viewing with Lost.

Desperate Housewives - The Complete First Season

Desperate Housewives, ABC's surprise breakout hit, is available on DVD for season one. Bask in Wisteria Lane's devilishly delightful blend of satire, drama, and mystery--from the gunshot that started it all to the tense cliff-hanger of the first season finale.

Six of the 23 episodes in this gorgeously packaged set can be viewed in an "unrated, extended" format with clarifying introductions from series creator Marc Cherry. Also included are deleted scenes from seven other episodes, audio commentaries from Cherry and the Emmy-nominated Desperate Housewives cast, a blooper reel, five fascinating featurettes, and "The New Neighbor," a special segment in which Oprah Winfrey arrives on Wisteria Lane.

The O.C. - The Complete Second Season

California, here we come! The O.C.'s first and second seasons are available on DVD. The second season of Fox's hit teen soap serves up even more passion, drama, and laughter than the first.

Ryan's brother, Trey, arrives in Newport Beach; Sandy and Kirsten's perfect marriage begins to crumble; and Marissa gets creative with her love life. Plotlines thicken and tension increases, all leading up to the explosive season finale.

This seven-disc set includes 24 great episodes, audio commentaries, the extended creator's cut of "The Rainy Day Women," a gag-and-goof reel, a documentary titled "Beachy Couture: How O.C. Fashion is Made," and a retrospective TV special titled "The O.C.--Obsess Completely."

CSI - The Complete Fifth Season

CSI is the megablockbuster forensic crime drama series that has spawned several spin-offs and countless imitators. The brainchild of uberproducer Jerry Bruckheimer (Top Gun), CSI tells the riveting story of Los Angeles' elite team of forensic crime analysts. These brilliant doctors go to great lengths to reconstruct crimes from very little physical evidence. Like the Mounties, they always get their man!

Screen vet William Petersen plays gruff team leader Gil Grissom; Marg Helgenberger plays tough-as-nails Catherine Willows. CSI has been the number one show on television for more than three years--and it's easy to see why, with gripping episodes like "Nesting Dolls," which delves into the seamy world of mail-order brides, and a grisly two-hour season finale directed by Quentin Tarantino titled "Grave Danger."

You'll be reconstructing this hit series from plenty of physical evidence. This seven-disc boxed set includes all 24 episodes from season five, as well as exclusive bonuses like behind-the-scenes featurettes, interviews, and more!

This holiday, investigate intense drama!

This led to some relationship drama between Corday and Dr. Douglas Ross, played by George Clooney.

This release includes six discs, which contain a live postshow, gag reels, and outtakes. With all the other medical dramas out there, E.R. has proven time and again that it's at the top of the heap.
