Guy Berger Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 Just saw the DS9 episode "Trials and Tribble-ations". A very, very well-executed tribute to the original series. Guy Quote
GA Russell Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 Today I went to BJ's to have my oil changed and tires rotated, and bought on an impulse Perry Mason, Season 2, Volume 1 (first 15 episodes) for $27.99. Quote
LAL Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 Bewitched season 5 (hooked on this series) Benny Hill Complete and Unadulterated set 5, 1982-85 Quote
Chalupa Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 We bought the complete first season of "Meerkat Manor" for my son. He watched one or two episodes before he got bored but I got hooked and watched them all last weekend. Fascinating little critters. http://animal.discovery.com/fansites/meerkat/meerkat.html Quote

Van Basten II Posted August 8, 2007 Report Posted August 8, 2007 Going through season 5 of the Simpsons. A lot of fun since i had not started following the series at that point, so it's all new stuff to me. Also, little bit anal about it, but once i watch an episode i have to listen to the commentary track afterwards. Find the crew funny, you get a little bit of the feeling about how they make the episodes together and the interacting between different groups, writers, directors, drawers etc. Quote
md655321 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Posted August 8, 2007 Just got Freaks and Geeks the complete series (18 episodes) in the mail. A more perfect show has never been made. The only things that come close are The Wire and, of course, Arrested Development. All three are perfect, but in completely different categories. Freaks and Geeks is about high school kids growing up in suburban Michigan in 1981ish. Brilliant acting and writing throughout. The most human show I have ever seen. I care about these characters as much, if not more than, most people I know in real life. Quote

Find the crew funny, you get a little bit of the feeling about how they make the episodes together and the interacting between different groups, writers, directors, drawers etc. I do the very same thing! Very interesting commentary, and whats very strange is that it works better the more people in the room(Their room). Oh, keep an I out for some interesting Easter eggs on these sets......

Kalo Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 Just got Freaks and Geeks the complete series (18 episodes) in the mail. A more perfect show has never been made. Yep. Oh, yes! Essential TV on DVD. I've been watching the Mr. Show DVDs again. Amazing stuff. Some of the best sketch comedy ever; a true successor to Python. Quote
BruceH Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 The Teardrop Awards bit alone is worth the price of admission. Quote

Matthew Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) I'm seriously thinking of getting Friends - The Complete Series Collection. Need something as a stress buster. I know.... I hang my head in shame. Edited August 12, 2007 by Matthew Quote

I hang my head in shame. Heaven help me, I bought this today, and I've never seen an episode all the way through in my life. I'll see your "Friends" and raise you "Mad About You", the first season [the best] and the Collection, which is the best, according to those who compiled the collection. Still love this series. It crashed and burned when they introduced a baby into the mix. No offence to babies in general. Hurl gentle abuse on me if you wish, for being shallow. However, I think I can redeem myself by having had the complete "Danger, UXB" [a British series on VHS about bomb disposal in the UK and "The News Room", the best series about T.V. news people for years and still watching them.

I agree that the first five seasons are the best, once Chandler moved out, and forced the roommate alignment to be broken up, the series never had the same feel, it lost a lot the chemistry that made it so fun.
