While it's not a comprehensive list, the weekly DVD sales charts from the-numbers.com provide snapshots of which TV show DVDs are hot sellers and an idea of their numbers, typically during their release week and soon afterwards. I'll do this as a test for a few weeks and look at how interesting it is for our readers.
Our first look at the list finds HBO's True Blood leading TV shows with a huge first week of over $17 million in sales for the week ending May 24, 2009, and at #4 overall among all DVD sales. Three other TV shows identified, at least somewhat, with cult followings, 24, WWE:Wrestlemania XXV and Friday Night Lights are also in the top 30 DVD sellers for the week.
