Hey hey guys...

I'm really wanting to start a new series on DVD but I have no clue what show to start. Soooo tell me your favorite shows and why you love them/what's great about the series so I can look into which show to watch next.

I've seen and loved alias, 24, just finished all 3 seasons of ghost hunters :thumbup:, love battlestar gallactica, love lost, etc, etc.

Tell me about Prison Break, Gossip Girl, anything you love - it's like reading a good book watching a whole series at once on DVD so give me some pointers!

omg YES. GILMORE GIRLS!! Loooove that show so much...I did the same thing, watched it on DVD and i ended up buying the last two seasons cause I was getting impatient waiting for netflix to keep up with me.
 
Have you seen The Tudors? It's a showtime series?... Season 1 is out on DVD but I think it's a while before season 2 is released

And it was kinda cheesy but I got into The Ghost Whisperer on DVD :)
 
Heroes...it's an awesome, awesome show.

And Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. And House. Those are my favoritest shows. :thumbup:
 
Ohhh...I love The King of Queens, I have all the seasons, I'm a huge Kevin James fan...
Also we love some of the HBO series...
Carnival...is one of our Favs...Just two seasons, but so good.
 
The most recent (and often) show I watch on DVD/dvr/on demand is Rescue Me or Weeds.
BOTH of these are adult content - just so you are warned.
Weeds? Love how Mary Louise Parker would be such a bad person, if she wasn't so darn cute/typical middle class mom.
Rescue Me? Denis Leary just is my kind of sarcasm and enough drama to keep me wanting more.

HOWEVER! Girlmore Girls - totally cute. JB (my DH) is a 12 yr old girl (in disguise) and watches this show over and over and over on DVD (he used to travel a LOT out of country on business - and bought a bunch of shows on DVD so that he could watch TV in English, rather than trying to keep up in Russian or French) and he's also hooked on Gossip Girl - because of the story line factor (I think he just likes the girls *wink wink*)

We also have Scrubs, Undeclared (a Judd Apatow series that is totally funny and should never have been canceled), the West Wing, as well as another Aaron Sorkin tv-show - SportsNight on rotation in our house for TV series rotations.
 
oh! totally Nerdy - but cute story line - Greek. ABC Family show. No idea if it's out on DVD though.
(mostly family friendly from what I can remember - I know I didn't cringe/pause it (or wait for him to go to bed) if my 4 yr old walked into the room
 
I just gotta say how much I miss 24 :( My hubby is a big bat. galactica fan and we love The Office but that's over now too. We record Psych, Mythbusters and Dexter.
 
WOO! I love Ghost Hunters.
Big fans in this house!
I just discovered The Office on Instant Watch @ Netflix and immediately fell in love. So freakin funny.
 
Gilmore Girls is a MUST!! Totally amazing.
If you like really clever writing, Veronica Mars is amazing too! Only three seasons :( but one of my all-time favorite TV series.
If you want a good laugh, How I Met Your Mother is downright HYSTERICAL (my hubby got me hooked).
I recently watched all the seasons of Felicity and it took me back to highschool and college for me. Its also a really great series (last part of final season gets a bit weird, but still good).
Lets see... what else? I only watch tv series on Netflix, so I have a ton.
Of course, Desperate Housewives is seriously addictive, as is House and Grey's Anatomy.
Thats all I can really think of now. But my #1 reccomendation would be Gilmore Girls. LOVE IT!!
 
Jenny - seriously. Come over to my house and watch some TV with my hubby will ya?! hee.

Firefly, Babylon 5, and Eureka. Stargate Atlantis & Stargate SG1 are good too

and if you want something older, Northern Exposure is wonderful

My DH LOVES Eureka. I've seen a couple of episodes with him and its pretty good!!
 
Ok so I'm all caught up on Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, watched felicity back in the day, not into desperate housewives, house is just ok for me.

Tell me about Dexter, Gossip Girl, Bones, Supernatural, Veronica Mars - I kinda like weird, sci-fi, actiony, paranormal or nitty gritty drama like grey's - do you think these series would be a good match? I also tend to like a driving storyline as opposed to an episodic series. Ie. CSI is good but the fact that you can kinda watch every episode on it's own and enjoy it without watching the whole series doesnt keep my interest - I want a show that each episode is part of a much bigger plotline kwim?

Keep the recs coming!

Here's a couple of good incentives to watch Supernatural lol...

Seriously though when DH ordered this from netflix I was skeptical b/c I'd never heard of it..(i think it comes on the WB or some network like that) anyway, it's really well written..funny/scary and their dad is played by that hottie from Grey's Anatomy who played Denny! I'm counting down the days until I can get season 3 :)

Ok, here's my plug for Veronica Mars. First, I never really had the urge to see the show, but I had heard so many good things about it that, on a whim, I netflix-ed it one day. OHMYWORD. Its so good! So the number one thing about it is the writing. SO clever and a little funny (its not a comedy, but it'll make you laugh sometimes) and the characters are really great. As for the storyline, you'll love VM because the storyline is HUGE and not only goes from episode to episode, but from season to season. I dare you to rent the first disk and NOT get hooked. Its that good.

*sigh* I've loved him since his days on Gilmore Girls. He's so pretty.
 
Bones is a good one, too...it's CSI-ish, but then there's a sub-plot going on through it with the characters. I don't watch it too much anymore because I've started getting grossed out/creeped out by those shows (CSI, Bones, Criminal Minds).
 
You'd definitely like Dexter.
Bones is somewhat episodic. I just like the character interactions. It's like a super nerdy CSI with David Boreanez thrown in for good measure, lol.
 
Oooh, what about The Zone? It with Anthony Michael Hall and DH and I watched the first two seasons. It was REALLY good. Basically AMH is a guy who wakes up after being in a coma for 9-ish years. And now he can "see" the future by touching people and he sorta becomes a crime-solver. But the plots are really good and the actors are great too.
 
We love watching TV Series on DVD, thats the only way we watch stuff anymore lol.

Like Shannon, we have all of the King of Queens, love that show.
We are caught up with CSI Las Vegas.
The OC, Dawsons Creek, Gilmore Girls, Charmed.
They just released season one of Third Watch..I loved that show!
Thinking of starting Greys Anatomy up next, I haven't seen any of that yet.
Hubby does the "Ghost Hunters" thing.

Ohh i have seen a few of those Jenny! That is an awesome show!
 
The few I had in mind have already been suggested-Prison Break, Samantha Who and Weeds.

LOL, how about Life as We Know It? I got hooked on it, and I'm really not sure why... It only ran for one season-not sure if that's something you'd like or not. Sleeper Cell was pretty good, ran a few years back on Showtime... I only saw the first season, liked it, but canceled showtime before we got to see the second season-that's on my to rent list.

Hmm, that's all I got right now! lol, can't think of anything else.
 
Dawson's Creek! LOL, that's what i'm watching now

but we have:

Dawson's Creek (ofc)
Doctor Who ( S/O LOVES it)
Everwood ( but that only lasted 2 seasons, sadly)
One Tree Hill
Seinfeld (funny)
Ghost Whisoerer

Also watched:
Everybody loves Raymond
Heroes
7th Heaven
Touched by an Angel (oldie, i know)

That's all i can think of
