TV Series on DVD

Thanks for all the awesome suggestions chicklets! I'm gonna start with dexter, veronica and supernatural and then go from there.

We tried watching stargate:SG1 a few months ago and didnt get further than 8 episodes in - it was too episodic for us. We have been thinking about doing Stargate: Atlantis tho - do any of you who have seen both have an opinion on which series is better?

I don't like SG1 but I do find Atlantis entertaining! My DH likes both, but I'll only sit with him on Atlantis. I think the characters are great in Atlantis.
 
Doctor Who, Doctor Who, Doctor Who...
how can you resist?? A completely adorable Brit who gets into trouble with aliens ALL the time.

it's so wicked good, it's not even funny. it consistently makes me cry.

PS My favorite shows are Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Battlestar, Lost, Heroes... so if your taste runs with mine...

DOCTOR WHO!!!

(see flair for details)
 
Smallville really is a good show.
At first I was like...whaaaaa? It was extremely silly in a cheesy way but after a few episodes I was hooked...completely.
Even DH who doesnt like ANYTHING but CSI Las Vegas was hooked.

Anybody watch The Tudors? I've heard good things about this but haven't tried to watch yet.

It's pretty good...It kind of bugged me b/c they changed some things from what really happened but they always do that I guess. I havent' seen season 2 yet...still waiting on it to be released :)
 
I have gotten into The Closer and Saving Grace. They are both just really good dramas. And the guys on Saving Grace are hot. They show great butt shots.

They are on TNT now but previous seasons are out on dvd.

Oooooh I might have to give the Tudors a try. I love historical drama - I just watched Elizabeth, Elizabeth the Golden Age and The Other Boelyn Sister and LOOOVED all three movies. I am just infatuated with Henry the VIII and that whole era - they were crazy!

The Tudors comes on here on Tuesdays, just before Big Brother, lol...so I've watched it the last couple weeks. It's pretty good, though all I know of Henry VIII is from reading the books by Philippa Gregory (The Constant Princess and The Other Boleyn Girl so far...there are 4 more books, I think) and she takes liberties with the facts, so I'm having a hard time not thinking "hey, that's not how it happened..." lol!
 
Hahhaah - this is another one that we laugh at. a LOT!

"never let crazy talk you into having a baby" - hahahaha.

I'm a big Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars fan too. :thumbup:

The only show I actually own on DVD is Arrested Development. It is so much funnier on DVD because all the jokes and storylines carry over from episode to episode and season to season. It's seriously one of my favorite comedies ever. :wub:

Oh, it most definitely is saucy, lmao...both the books by Philippa Gregory and what I've watched of The Tudors, lol. Woot! :D
 
BTW, Robin...your avatar isn't showing up for me...it just say "Robin Carlton's Avatar" lol. It's been bugging me all day.
 
i LOVE scrubs and curb your enthusiasm...those ROCK and of course..my VERY fav...sex in the city.......ahhhhhhhhhhhh....WHEN is that coming out on DVD?! i have to have it :)

We used to watch SG1 a bit but we like Atlantis better. :) Hotter guys in that one, imo.

I prefer Atlantis to SG1. I stopped watching SG1 at some point. I wanted to like it more than I did & DH enjoys it so it was on anyway. Atlantis is better IMO.

But Babylon 5 is the best. 5 year long story arc, each episode has it's own overall plot but the little subplots sort of all tie in over the course of the season & every episode moves the overall story forward. Great chracters, great plots, great dialogue. Just wonderful overall. :)
 
OK...I am going to recommend one that hasn't been mentioned yet. It is called Mad Men and it plays on AMC. HBO passed on it and now they are kicking themselves. It was just nominated for 16 Emmys. It is SOOOOOOO good. It is set in the late 50's/early 60's. Explores the gender roles of men and women in post-WWII society. The Mad Men are Madison Avenue advertising executives in NYC. The set is so cool and retro and the main character is a total hunk.

Check it:

Awesome costumes:

Not sure if it is on DVD but you can get it FREE On Demand on the AMC channel. Highly recommend it.

Ok, so I know everyone seems to be Sci-Fi, Drama geared, but I have to throw these two shows out there:

30 Rock...if Tina Fey isn't funny enough, Alec Baldwin is comic genius on that show...try to find the episode when Elaine Stritch plays his mother...priceless...
and my other favorite...
Ugly Betty!!...it's sooo soapy, but totally has a great message and always touching...plus, Marc and Amanda have filled the void left in my heart since Karen and Jack (from Will and Grace) went away...I have season 1, but I don't have season 2, but it was awesome!

Ohhh MAN-This looks FABULOUS Susan-I had never heard of it...look at those DRESSES...I'm all over this one.
 
Our favorite shows

Okay I don't think anyone posted ours...now as a background...I love to LAUGH... not into scary or skin flicks...besides my 13 and 14 year old watch all the programs with me...

They watch on their own:
CHIPS (remember those good looking motorcycle cops?)
Emergency (Randy Mantooth...hubba hubba)
Knight Rider (David Hasselhoff)
...okay maybe I don't mind watching with them...lol

We also have Home Improvement...but they got kinda burned out on that so we don't have all the years.

We have gone through M*A*S*H so many times...8 or 9 times through the 11 years...that the boys have it memorized...so just yesterday my Amazon order came in and we have all 6 years of Hogan's Heroes...so we're watching season one at this moment. lol

I am taping Night Court for me to watch...since it's not quite what I want the boys to see. I am going to put on dvd and watch it when I exercise in the basement. lol

We also tape "unwrapped" from the food channel...love to watch that show.

We are impatiently waiting for "After MASH" to come out...hoping it does anyway.

Jeesh I guess we are TV on DVD junkies! I like the programs back then... much less for me to worry about my boys watching than some of today's programs.
 
ohmygosh! How could I forget about Scrubs?!?!?! Its my all-time favorite sitcom. Never EVER fails to crack me up and I use so many of their catch-phrases from that show!

"Frick on a stick" or "double frick" or even sometimes just "frick"
and
"So's your face"
and
"Boing Fwip"

lol ok, now I'm giggling to myself here at the computer just thinking about this show. :)
 
Sounds like we have some common likes as you do Robin- *loved* Alias, 24, Heroes, and Lost.

We also like Smallville, The Unit, Jerecho and one that hasn't been mentioned is The Shield- a trial police department in southern CA- their struggles, the cops struggles between dirty cop/good cop, etc. Great character developement and each episode really builds on the last.

Aaron,
I was starting to suspect you were a chick.

Ugly Betty? Now I know you're a chick. ;)

I love both. They're totally different really, with the only thing in common Stargates and Stargate command. Keep in mind SG1 ran for 10 years and there actually is a story line; just a very long one,lol.
Atlantis is my fave to watch right now only for the reason I've watched the reruns of SG-1 what seems a million times (and I still love the show). The villains in Atlantis are cooler though,lol. The Wraith are incredibly snappy dressers,lol.
 
i *heart* Gilmore Girls! also giving thumbs up to Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, Supernatural, Bones, early Smallville eps, dh is a Stargate & Dr. Who fanatic, and we recently started reuns of Buffy. Mmmm hunky Angel :thumbup:
 
I LOVE NIP/TUCK, GOSSIP GIRL is rawking, it's like 90210 in New York what about an oldie but goodies TWIN PEAKS? I just started watching it again a couple weeks ago!
 
I just finished Brothers & Sisters today. LOVED IT! DH even got addicted with me. But the second season doesn't come out on DVD until September I think.
 
Oh, if you haven't seen Rome, super good. So is Big Love.

If you want some comedys I love Reba & What I like about you. But I think only season one is out for what I like about you.
 
I always buy my favorite shows on dvd! So much easier than having to sit down at a specific time and remeber what day to watch :)

My favorite is definitely Desperate Housewives! I just love that show!!
But others I like are Dirt, Rescue Me, CSI (Las Vegas).
 
Susan! I watched two episodes of MadMen last night on OnDemand - I'm hooked. Now I have to figure out how to watch both seasons by Aug 10th before they leave the FreeZone.
