Movies and TV Great tv shows on dvd? - Page 4

Sure-Oz · 08:06 PM

Recommend some shows i should buy on dvd that i could catch up on...

I currently am about to finish season 1 of "24" and i have all 6 seasons so far on dvd. I also watch Smallville on dvd and just recently purchased "its always sunny in philadelphia" season 1 and 2 on dvd.

Current shows i watch on tv are basically The Office and Hells Kitchen.

Are the FX shows worth a gander? Like "Rescue Me". I assume Heroes is a great show i need to get as well

My tv shows on dvd
Smallville
24
Arrested Development
Firefly
Southpark,Family Guy, Simpsons
The Office
Its always sunny in philadelphia

Sure-oz, don't bother.

And I would counter with:

Look at the LOST thread. I bet the watchers out number the off-ers.

If you like The Office, check out the British original. It's a little darker and unrelenting in the pursuit of the pathetisad and stays closer to the documentary feel. The American Office has found it's own hilarious voice, but the BBC version is it's own little bit of utter genius.

As for TV shows to watch on DVD, I'll just go with shows no longer on;

Buffy
Angel
Firefly
The Office [BBC]
Coupling [BBC, think a dirtier, funnier, British, Friends]
Deadwood
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Dead Like Me
Sopranos
Wonderfalls
Undeclared
Freaks and Geeks
The Wire
Arrested Development
The Larry Sanders Show
Hill Street Blues [only the first two seasons available, but the genesis of quality TV drama]

Scrubs.

I love just popping in the discs and hitting "Play All" (episodes).

Great show.

Sure-Oz · 07-13-2008, 04:11 PM

Lots of great suggestions, thanks guys...got my stimulus check so i know where im going hehe (ill put a good chunk in savings too tho ha)

**Baby Lee** · 07-17-2008, 06:44 AM

Oh, I just remembered, the first season of Twin Peaks. . . . the Genesis of Appointment TV and breathless water cooler talk the morning after.

I want to keep this thread going. IMO, TV shows on DVD (or Blu-Ray) are a much better value for the money you pay, just because you get so much more.

I just bought Firefly so Im pumped about that.

I finished Prison Break seasons 1-3 and I recommend them highly. Critics say the show fell off in Season 3, but they said the same about Lost.

Anyways, if anyone has anything new, throw it up there.

I am debating on whether or not I should pick up The Sarah Connor Chronicles right now.

That's because Prison Break's over arching themes and storyline aren't there. They are great stories within each season but you have to take each season on it's own. If you put them together, you have a pile of shit: Break out. Run. Break out.

24 is pretty much the same thing. While a well made show, its the same thing every season. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I got bored with it after the 3rd or 4th season.

Except 24 built that into the premise. Each was 1 day. Prison Break purports to have season to season story lines. I can't even begin to name the characters they've neglected, killed, or forgotten about.

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but I really enjoyed the first two seasons of The Shield on DVD. Gonna have to pick up season 3.

Thanks for reminding me about The Shield. I've been wondering what song played on their ad for the Final Season.

TrickyNicky · 08-29-2008, 07:30 PM

Venture Bros. Season 1 and 2

**Buck** · 11-22-2008, 12:39 PM

So I'm getting this real itch to pick up The Wire season 1. Is it worth it?
