To gauge the popularity of certain hit shows, we can always rely on the Buzz to offer up a different angle. We know which shows are the hottest in Search, but how can we tell if a show truly has a rabid fan base?

An intriguing way to check on the relative heat of hit shows is by checking the pent-up demand for a show's release on DVD. With that in mind, we screened searches on "release dates" for DVD box sets of TV favorites to see which shows had consumers salivating.

Here are the top 12 TV on DVD release date searches right now, along with the date the box set is supposed to hit store shelves...

  1. Smallville: Season 5 (9/12)
  2. Lost: Season 2 (9/5)
  3. 24: Season 5 (TBD)
  4. The OC: Season 3 (10/24)
