If you like The Office, check out the British original. It's a little darker and unrelenting in the pursuit of the pathetisad and stays closer to the documentary feel. The American Office has found it's own hilarious voice, but the BBC version is it's own little bit of utter genius.
As for TV shows to watch on DVD, I'll just go with shows no longer on;
Buffy
Angel
Firefly
The Office [BBC]
Coupling [BBC, think a dirtier, funnier, British, Friends]
Deadwood
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Dead Like Me
Sopranos
Wonderfalls
Undeclared
Freaks and Geeks
The Wire
Arrested Development
The Larry Sanders Show
Hill Street Blues [only the first two seasons available, but the genesis of quality TV drama]
