You forgot "Outer Limits". I put that show in the same category.

Until any of my PCs develop the ability to go to my storage cabinet and
fetch a DVD and load it into itself, I'm not sorried.
So, that Exabyte Tape/cartridge Silo might not be such a good idea.
I always wanted Keith Hensen's "Kubik"? CD changer. Big "carousel
slide
tray" full of 240?! CDs/DVDs, in a square box, with a drive in each
corner. The drives were SCSI, and the load/unload/select control was
RS232. The big square boxes could be stacked, for a larger collection, and
there was a trivial mod to make the tray removable, so that the top box
could be swapped with as many trays as you had shelf space for.
'course hard drives caught up, and I now have about a thousand DVDs in
MP4s on a shirt pocket HDD. (including ALL of the Doctor Who's that were
released on DVD, Red Dwarf 1 - XII, Dark Matter, Torchwood, Twilight Zone,
Prisoner, Marx Brothers, Doc Martin, One Foot In The Grave, etc.) The DVD
images (V .MP4) take over 5TB.
