DrawingDeadInDM 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 No Saved by the Bell? Egah, man.Oz, Curb Your Enthusiasm, First Couple Seasons of Six Feet Under were good, but I kinda lost track after that.Those three get the seal of approval.I haven't seen much of the rest.

GodOfEntropy 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Curb your enthusiasm volume 1 is the best season of any TV comedy I have ever seen - I am a big fan of "the Shield" as well but I would probably just rent those rather than buy them. Link to post Share on other sites
Filesharer 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 The Office is probably the best thing that's ever been on british tv, and that's saying quite a lot.I'm an absolute Firefly fanatic so I'm going to say yes, buy it. Objectively speaking, most people agree it's brilliant, but not everyone does. Las Vegas is pretty crappy but entertaining. It's worth a watch. Link to post Share on other sites
buzbrad11 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 No one could be disappointed with Firefly, no one. That is my recommendation. Link to post Share on other sites

Rokuban 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Here is a list of box sets I am wondering about. If you are familiar with any of them please let me know if it is a good show or if I should pass on it.24AliasMilleniumOZProfilerDead Like MeHomicide: Life on the Street24, one of the best thriller to grace TV screens for years. The real time concept works amazingly well, stories are well written and the acting is top notch (Kiefer Sutherland, Dennis Hooper, Lou Diamond Phillips...). The DVD boxsets are loaded with bonuses : deleted scenes, commentary tracks, alternate endings (filmed to prevent advance spoilers to some episodes), etc etc. If you only buy one series, buy this one.Alias is a good action/spy show. There is a hinty of Mission : Impossible in it, because of the pace, the action, but also because of the improbable technology used. It's entertaining.Millenium, amazing Chris Carter (x-files) show that begins as a profiler/serial killer series and turns into a race against the apocalypse. Third season was a let down, but the real ending to the series is a X-Files episodes (in one of the last seasons) named Millenium (included in the 3rd Millenium boxset, iirc)OZ, great prison show, but you have to like prison shows.Profiler : subpar thriller series but with good acting (Robert Davi & Julian McMahon are in it). Last season isn't worth shit.Dead Like Me : Amazing comedy/drama/fantasy series about recently dead people recruited as grim reapers. Cancelled too soon.Homicide : One of the best cop shows ever. period. Link to post Share on other sites

After my kids are in bed at 8:00. I have limited time to do all. TV (sadly) is one of my favourite things. That balanced with poker, poker books and wife time doesn't allow me to watch too many new programs.You don't like Lost? Link to post Share on other sites
