I have never seen Offspring. Not one episode. I knew everyone was loving it. I sensed I would love it, too. I even auditioned for a role on the series (as a pregnant woman – while I was pregnant, thank god) but had never gotten around to watching it.
I am one of those people who can not come in on a series a few episodes in. I have to watch it from the beginning. Since having children, I seem to always miss the first couple of episodes of every new series I want to watch. So while I never seem to catch anything when it's on free to air, I secretly prefer to buy (or borrow) the boxset and just gorge myself on a series all at once. Bren and I watched the entire series of The West Wing this way when I was pregnant with Ziggy. It was an American politics/Aaron Sorkin orgy. Fucking awesome.
More and more, we're moving towards digital everything, aren't we? But just like owning an actual, touchable book (and smellable – because how good do books smell??), there is something about owning a DVD boxset. Bren and I secretly harbour dreams of owning and watching the entire Buffy series (and Bren made mention of doing something similar with Gilmore Girls – I shit you not).
Anyhoo, I've probably said too much re the father of my children and his television viewing proclivities so let's talk about something else. Let's talk about GIVEAWAYS!

‘The killing’, and I would give it to my husband.
Midsomer murders. I would give it to my mother in law who has just had breast cancer surgery.
OFFSPRING!! Omgggg! Never got around to seeing it all…Im on maternity leave..and my bub is sleeping 4 hour blocks..(at the moment)…PERFECT time for me to put my feet up and catch up on the goodness of Offspring, Patrick, Nina..Patrick..did I say Patrick!? :p Xmas pressie for myself?? I did give birth this year!? Ha! Please PICK moi!! Xx
Adventure Time – my girls have recently started to watch this in the morning before school and a box set might just buy me a few hours of peace!
If I win I’ll let you borrow my Buffy boxset –
I have all seasons. And just to tempt you
more Angel, I own the complete Angel series
boxset too. Pick me! 🙂 x
I would love the Adventure Time Boxset. My young daughter had a Jake watch but it broke, and has been asking Santa for one for the past few weeks. Thr trouble is, “Santa” can’t bring a Jake watch because it was from a show bag that is now virtually non-existent to find!
So this would be a great substitute.
Or I’d also love Offspring for myself. Sounds selfish but I usually don’t get anything for Christmas, and would like to unwrap something this year!
Stephen Fry for hubby. We’ve developed a new respect for him knowing he suffers from bipolar. Would be great as a gentle reminder for hubby after all he’s dealt with this year.
Definitely Transformers. Because I have an eight year old boy.
And don’t wait for Buffy. WATCH. IT. NOW! And Aaron Sorkin, Fucking Awesome!
My daughter had discovered the Agatha Christie books. She would be absolutely thrilled with the MISS MARPLE boxed set.
A fantastic opportunity thank you.
Definitely Transformers – for my nephew (or possibly my brother)
I would love the Adventure Time box set. My big kids are rather taken with it but don’t get to watch the entire episode in the mornings before going to school. Talk about a bonus christmas present! Booyah!!
Offspring set please. I too am like you and miss stuff I wanna see. I missed the entire first 2 seasons of Offspring but managed to get on board for the last two. It is worth the marathon girlfriend. It’s light and soapie. Good for end-of-the-day-can’t-think-for-shit types of Mummys. I’d gift it to myself, ‘cos I’m not too sure if my boys are going to get into gear and think ahead enough to actually put anything under the tree for me (sorry to sound so bloody emo). Or at least, they probably won’t buy a girly, feel good kinda pressie. It will probably be something for camping or kitchen-esk. Oh Lordy.
So many ace sets to choose from… But seeing its nearly Christmas, Adventure Time would have to be on the top of the list. The kids would love it! Merry Christmas
Offspring, for me, so I can see for myself what all they hype has been about!
Miss Marple to my brother in law, he loves all of the murder mysteries especially being investigated by someone like Miss Marple
Tranformers, for my son and the biggest kid of them all, hubby! It’ll keep them glued to the screen and out of my hair for hours 🙂
My husband is fascinated by “Mega Factories”. Could be because he works somewhere that could be classed as one!! He would be thoroughly entertained for a Mega amount of time!!
Midsomer Murders…I would give myself a little treat…just started watching this series and now am addicted would love to have some to keep….
Transformers for a family who, due to work requirements of both parents, have not had an opportunity to spend much quality time together.
I would love the Miss Marple series for my wife.
Not only does she love mysteries, it would make up for my hogging the TV while the cricket’s on. 🙂
OFFSPRING. And I feel no guilt in wanting to gift it to myself. Especially after the devestation at the end of last season (no spoilers, promise!). I think everyone who endured THAT sobfest deserves a real life Patrick Reid doppleganger delivered to their doorsteop (preferably covered in melted chocolate – the only occasion I would ever volunteer for clean-up duties). But since Madmen are too cheap offer that (disclaimer: no offense intended, oh glorious giveaway sponsor!) then I’ll settle for the boxset so I can relive the all-consuming emotions, hilarity, magical-bra-unstrapping-Patrick-Smiles and lovable craziness this show has delivered for the past four seasons.
Plus it gives me a legitimate excuse to pencil into my diary ice-cream binging, all day pyjama wear and only leaving the house to restock on aforementioned ice cream during my two week Christmas break 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway!
Robot Chicken Star Wars – Complete Trilogy Collection for my son Liam, I think he’s love it!
The Cartoon Network box set. My son’s LOVE all these show’s, and the truth be told they really don’t have to twist my arm when they ask me to watch it with them.
Stephen Fry Inquisitive Documentaries for my adult son Jim because he has an inquisitive nature.
Decisions…Decisions….I think Offspring. My sister would love it!
Robot Chicken for my younger brother.He’s right into American stop-motion claymation comedy and would just love it. I’ve actually caught an episode or two and would probably borrow it from him.
Would love to win Offspring. Having recently arrived in Australia, I only managed to catch the last few episodes of the last season. I was hooked very quickly. Must watch it from the start at some point! 🙂
I would love the ‘Miss Marple’ box set. It would be the perfect gift for my ninety year old Mother. She suffers from dementia but has not forgotten that this was her favourite television series and that Joan Hickson played the very best Marple of them all. This series would help bring a lot of happy memories back for mom.
Transformers – for my husband who is 36 but still loves his cartoons.
Definately the Cartoon Networks Amazing Regular Adventure DVD, which I would give to my little man who is just crazy for all 3 of these shows but OBSESSED with Mordecai and Rigby….oooooohhhh!
My little bro would be over the moon if he were to wake up Christmas morning and find a box set of all his favourite Cartoon Network shows. We’ve seen the episodes a million times but it would be worth seeing them a million more to also see the smile on his face.
Close call, but I’d have to choose the Stephen Fry documentaries… because? Because come on, it’s Stephen Fry! Girlfriend would love it but so would my best mate. Also my folks, this could get messy.
Offspring!! I would gift it to my best friend so we can watch it on girls nights with wine & chocolate 🙂
I would really love to win the Skins complete series. My Brother loves that show and I know he would really appreciate it. I would get the best sister ever award, and have a happy Brother! That my friend is a win, win situation.
Thanks for the giveaway, The Little Mumma x 🙂
The Killing for myself as with no partner or siblings and children a tad to young to give gifts it would be great to actually have a present all for me
There are 3 that would be well loved in our home.
The Offspring for me because like everyone else – I love it!
The Megafactories would be the BEST ever present for my husband – he would be eternally grateful!
The Adventure Time box set would be wonderful for my boys because it seems that is all they talk about lately!
Thanks so much for the chance.
kell@madmummas.com (just in case)
After the day I am having today, it has to be the adventure time box set. Its currently Master 4’s favourite show. He is sick with Gastro today and all he keeps asking is – “when is adventure time on TV”.
The Offspring – I would give it to my husband; so I could watch it with him together. I am sure my daughter would love to watch it as well 🙂
Adventure time I would gift to my daughter but I secretly LOVE it.
Midsomer Murders, my 90 year old mother-in-law enjoys trying to work out whodunit and there are certainly enough chances, there is never just 1 murder, always 2 or 3!
The “Skins” box set! And I would gift it to myself because I know that hubby will forget to get me something for Christmas.
Transformers – my kids would love these originals (& so would Mum)Didnt know they were available on dvd. Thankyou. Merry Christmas.
Transformers, so I can show my kids how cool I was because I watched this when I was their age.
After a difficult year my Dad could really lighten up and relax with a good laugh!
My solution?! Robot Chicken Star Wars – Complete Trilogy Collection!
I would love Cartoon Network’s Amazing Regular Adventure 3 DVD Boxset for my son. But actually, I think the whole family would enjoy watching it! So many great DVDs – Adventure Time and Offspring are awesome, too!
Bergerac – to give to my son….to prove that I loved Mr Barnaby before he was a Midsomer Detective.
