The past few decades have been life-changing and glorious for television fans. TV is no longer something that supposedly rots your brains and stunts you socially. (We have smart phones for that now!) Instead, it's a bastion of cultural connectivity and engagement. Yet even now, as a respected TV fan, you may find yourself forced to answer a surprisingly tetchy question: Why do you still buy DVDs?

The reasons may sound thin: "I like having a physical copy. I like the weird artwork. My Internet sometimes randomly cuts out, probably because mice are chewing on the wires in the walls." But more than anything, DVDs offer an entertainment option when streaming just doesn't have what you need.

This holiday season, binge responsibly, and check out these DVD box sets -- all of which are available at Amazon and other retailers -- for the TV purist in your life who's still fuming that her favorite series hasn't made it to Netflix or Hulu.
