Depends on the show.  24 with missing disc is frustrating. A sitcom - usually 
doesn't matter.

We update the record. Series are always repackaged into 2-disc cases so the 
missing one isn't as obvious/problematic as if had to be noted when checking 
in/out a box of 6 DVDs for example.

Subject: [Videolib] Missing parts to TV shows

Hi, all,

What is your general practice on DVDs of television shows that have a 
missing/damaged discs that cannot be individually replaced.  Do you circulate 
the title with the remaining discs, or do you discard the whole package and 
order a new set?  Or does it depend on the type of show - Law & Order episodes 
are individual, where as other shows are more serial and have continuing story 
arcs.  Thanks a lot!
