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.

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!
