When I read your last post, I sort of figured I'd better step in here and keep things flowing. But then, you knew I would.<BR/><BR/>Peter, I think she probably would be better off waiting for the DVD. Seeing a show on computer just isn't the same as kicking back. Oh, it will do in a pinch. But as a regular thing, I can't see it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tips there Alex. I loved Briscoll County. I have that on DVD. It was a fun show, although I think the story arc had trouble finding itself. Still, I am sure that had they allowed it to continued, it would have righted itself.<BR/><BR/>I agree, Bruce Campbell can be a good deal of fun.<BR/><BR/>Shadow, Jean Luc, I suggest that it is only fair that we all get together and watch a few episodes of something. Of course, I'm short of cash now, so the two of you will have to help come up with the tickets and accomodations in BritainStewart Sternberg (half of L.P.

I am not sure you need to bother with this ...Yeah. I am not sure you need to bother with this season of Lost. It's not the same show it was in the first season. It's still good, but it's a different show. They must have brought new writers in, or gone past the point where they actually had some idea of what they were going to write about. It seems like improv.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I think the best show to watch in one or two sittings is Rurouni Kenshin (followed by the <B>AMAZING</B> OVAs, especially the last two). The series is hit and miss with the various story arcs (i.e. runs a little slow in the middle episodes), but the level of patience the writers showed in developing the relationships between the characters, the gradual layering of emotional attachments rather than a BANG! I love you/hate you formula most shows are taking these days (see Battlestar Galactica for completely unearned relationships) has earned my neverending respect.<BR/><BR/>Another good one to sit back and watch in sequence is Brisco County Junior. Bruce Campbell is by far the most under-rated actor of his generation (even Jack of all Trades was kinda' funny, in that it didn't take itself seriously like Hercules and Xena), and it still dumbfounds me how this show - the best in its genre since Wild, Wild West - could have been cancelled!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910781191660514689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-65375326754275802142007-03-10T21:03:00.000-08:002007-03-10T21:03:00.000-08:00sqt, I believe you can watch Heroes episodes on th...sqt, I believe you can watch Heroes episodes on the show's official website.Peter Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09405671277612668171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-24134232691835729782007-03-10T14:45:00.000-08:002007-03-10T14:45:00.000-08:00I've started watching shows on DVD too.

And you are right, it is offensive to have someone go on hiatus after five shows.<BR/><BR/>Peter, that's how I watched Firefly, too. Well worth it. It's also how I watched the first season of Battlestar Galactica. I came across a box set marked down to a ridiulously cheap price and figured: What the heck.Stewart Sternberg (half of L.P.

You get to ...Watching shows on DVD is a good idea. You get to skip all the commercials too. I've never seen 24 and one of these days I'm gonna rent/buy the DVD's so I can watch the entire series from the beginning. <BR/><BR/>As far as waiting out a season for a show to go to DVD, I just can't do that. If there's a new episode I gotta watch it. Waiting for the DVD to be released would just kill me. I do hate the way they run seasons now where they give you a handfull of episodes and then dissapear for a month before you get more episodes. I miss the days of a full season of episodes and then the show would go on summer hiatus. <BR/><BR/>It is frustrating to watch a show for 5 episodes, get really into it and then have it dissapear for a month.
