I seem to remember a similar thread started by Black Jacque, but I can't locate it! So, unless it shows up this thread is for recommending great TV series to watch on DVD.
I recently finished watching the complete Upstairs Downstairs collection - loved it! This show is a blast! I laughed, I cried, and I learned "boil a stew, ruin a stew", and much much more! Now I'm starting I Claudius. So far its been eye-poppingly scandalous! I tell you, old BBC TV seems as good as modern HBO! |

I am a fan of series that you can get the whole thing in one set (even if that means they sadly died too fast). So...
Freaks & Geeks Sports Night (Aaron Sorkin's first series... if you've watched West Wing you'll recognize a couple monologues, or at least snippets, that he used here first) Space: Above and Beyond (remarkably dark sci-fi series from Fox... lots of space and ground combat stuff, pretty good cg, generally badass) ****************************************** Me in Rock: This Shirt Is Pants | Mr. Fusion Me in blog: izenmania |

American Gothic!
It took years for them to release it but it's definitley entertaining. (Used to watch this back to back with x-files on friday night-nice way to end the work week) |

Slings & Arrows
HBO-esque, with PBS undertones(?) - It's 3 seasons, 6 episodes each for a total of 6 discs. Great ensemble, with new characters each season and good development within - seen 'em all twice, and will probably add it to the collection down the road -- you know, when the format wars wrap up  |

Another HUGE endorsement for 'Freaks and Geeks" here!
If you like Sci Fi I think Babylon 5 was great. If you like silly crass yet witty and way too much fun cartoon series I would recommend 'The Venture Bros' So far these are the only series that have compelled me to part with cash for DVD. ------------------------------ my cup runs over but I am so blind I just complain as it spills around me |

I've heard about this! I'd love to watch it. Also I, Claudius was brilliant. (The books by Robert Graves are well worth reading, too.) Edge of Darkness has only six 1-hour episodes, but was brilliant. Try and see it now before the Mel Gibson remake (sob) ruins it for you forever. I'm currently HUGELY enjoying Stargate SG-1, which is much better than I expected (and hello, unexpected-and-slightly-embarrassing-crush-on-Richard-Dean-Anderson, nice to meet you). I have the second season of Battlestar Galactica waiting in the wings when I've run out of SG-1. *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson. |

The Tick. So very, very quotable. Firefly, although if I have to tell you that, I'm shamed to know you.

Veronica Mars - I love all three seasons, but the first season is a definite must-see.
Supernatural - Pretty boys fighting demons, what more could you want? Meadra, Post Ranger Head of the Guild of the Damask Rose Part of being sane, is being a little bit crazy. -- Janet Long My Etsy shop  |

we have been very happily watching that (rented from Netflix). Also rented and enjoyed Dexter, and another vote for Freaks and Geeks. We also own Firefly and My So-Called Life. __________________________________ Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics.  |

Oh yes, it was brilliant! A few years ago they showed reruns during our summer holiday, every morning at 9AM. I'd get my cup of coffee and watch an episode every single day. I didn't even have that decadent starting-my-day-watching-telly feeling, because, you know - it was old. And British! ------------------------------------------------- Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here. |

Arrested Development, chyah! I would imagine it being incredibly stale and non-amusing to someone who isn't very prominent in English, since a lot of the jokes are with word play.

How dare you call it old! I remember when it was first aired on Masterpiece Theater back ... in ... pre-Columbian days .. you know, when phones had dials and a tv remote was "It's your turn." |

Oh, people can not like the show, I just know mudpuppy and, well, it'd be odd.
There are a few seasons of the UK Whose Line out on DVD. __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "I am a sexy, shoeless god of war." -Belkar |
