Chinatown is another good one, too. There are accidental fireworks at the end!
Also, I totally know how you feel about the not willing to spend money on DVDs thing. The *only* series set of DVDs I own *is* Due South, and I argued with myself for months before I finally gave in and bought them, using the excuse that "I may as well buy them now while I still have the money to afford them before tuition sucks up every penny I earn". ;) And I bought all three seasons (well, four depending on whether you lived in Canada or the US). The US version of the DVDs cost about 70 $ plus shipping for all three seasons. Canadian, though they are supposedly of higher quality (US versions were burned off of tapes rather than DVDs, or something) cost a pretty penny more for about 200 total for all the seasons. Not sure if they have extras or not, though.
Anyhoo, I have the US versions, and aside from the occasional split second of slightly garbled image (think what you get sometimes with Digital Cable or Satellite dish during sun flares or something), they they are perfectly watchable. So, if we ever do manage to sway you, those are the ones I'd go for. ;)
