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!
