House and Reno 911 are the big ones that come to mind. I've seen a few episodes of both and they both look good, but House seems like the kind of show that you'd want to watch from the beginning and Reno 911 is on opposite The Venture Brothers and Lucky Louie, and my DVR can only record/tune to two channels at a time.

I'm getting my bro's friend to burn all the episodes for me.

i would like to watch farscape properly as well as going back and watching star trek voyager properly.

i wouldn't mind watching bleach properly either, i've only caughts which are top quality i must say.

ovearall i think watching gundam wing from beginning to end would provide me with the most satisfaction

Farscape's my favorite sci fi series ever. :up: Good luck watching all the seasons, though. The DVD sets are like $115 each. :(

24. Everyone tells me it rocks the house and I even bought season one, but I have yet to get a chance to watch it. I already know I'll love it, for some reason, I've just never gotten around to it. :(

Carnivale is another one that I enjoyed the first 1 or 2 episodes of, but haven't gotten a chance to get around to it. Even though it's cancelled, I still want to see what storyline they developed.

Angel and Buffy were two shows, but I've gotten the chance to get caught up as they're in reruns on F/X and TNT in the morning. I TiVo them and watch 'em when I get home and over the weekend, I've just finished season 5 of Buffy and season 2 of Angel.

[QUOTE=TheCorpulent1]House and Reno 911/QUOTE]

same exact two come to mind for me. And I should add Battlestar Galactica to the list.

Prison Break, X-Files, Alias. There are alot of shows I never get around to watching, but thats what DVDs are for.

For me, it's Buffy, more of 24, and 4400. Being a HUGE Alias-freak, I've been told many times over again that if I love Alias, I'd love Buffy....just haven't gotten around to watching it yet.

And to Matt and roach...rent/buy the DVDs, download the episodes...ANYTHING to watch at least the first 5 episodes of LOST and ALIAS. I'm telling you..you won't regret it! Just make sure you watch them from the beginning, in order, and without letting anyone spoil any of it for you.

Also, I'd reccommend to anyone who hasn't watched it yet: The Office and Arrested Development :up: :up:

Based on what I've seen of it, you're not missing much. I saw some of the pilot and it was so bad that I changed the channel.

What are some shows you have wanted to watch, but just never have the time, opportunity, whatever?

Off the top of my head, I would say Alias is one. The X-Files as well...currently, The 4400 and Lost are two shows I would love to watch...but...my scheduel just never syncs up with them.

so many... but... I finally took the time to explore the OnDemand channels (I'm kind of lazy when it comes to figuring out how things work), but finally looked into it, and it's 1)freiken easy 2) has every freiken show and movie one could want to watch. It's over, I going to need to retire from life.

oh yeah, my point: Not a problem anymore. I've been vegging for atleast a week after work/school, and catching up on EVERYTHING. OnDemand is the devil, it is my Freaktonite.

Me and my dad love watching that show but both of us continually forget to watch it so we always miss it. we missed the finale episodes. :(

I watched it all the way. Was disappointed with how everything turned out in the end, though. Didn't really live up to its hype. At least for me, anyway.

TV is dumb now, the only shows I regularly watch are the Simpsons and Family Guy, and maybe a few shows like Pimp My Ride.

Nip/Tuck.

I catch an episode once in a while, but never get to watch the full season like I always plan to.

08-03-2006, 05:12 PM

Deadwood and Prison Break. I really want to buy the dvd sets when I go back to uni.

Corps reminded me to go watch all my farscape DVDs now :) here in the uk, we got mini boxsets as opposed to season ones :D
Damn, are those a lot cheaper? I was planning to look into a multi-region DVD player for The Invisible Man's DVDs anyway... maybe I'll try getting the UK Farscape mini-sets, too.

Battlestar Galactica. haven't heard anything but the highest praises for it.I've watched some moments here and there, and it does look very interesting, but haven't had the time to catch up yet.

no offense, but Pimp My Ride and recent Simpsons isn't exactly smart tv.

Well take this site for example:

http://play.com/DVD/DVD/6-/Search.html?searchstring=farscape&searchtype=r2title

Individual sets (2 discs, between 4 and 5 episodes) are £9.99 (free postage and packaging... altho that may only be the uk), while season box sets are £54.99... thats pretty fricking sweet... infact... i'm going to go complete my season one set... *runs off to order*

Sentry2005

08-03-2006, 06:41 PM

Yeah, it is only uk... the international site is ripping you right off!! 30 dollars a box set :eek: i'm paying like 15 or something... thats dumb... i'll look up more sites and see what I can find

Sentry2005

08-03-2006, 06:46 PM

Ok...

Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/ref=nb_ss_w_h_/026-9985252-9206855?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Farscape&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go

Pretty much the same deal, maybe slightly dearer, but you have the option of buying second hand.

HMV: http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/simpleSearch.do?pGroupID=5&simpleSearchString=Farscape&primaryID=5&btnSubmitSearch.x=0&btnSubmitSearch.y=0

Dearer, by quite a bit in some cases. It's where I got all mine though, so keep an eye on prices.

DVDStreet: http://www.streetsonline.co.uk/common/search/fhsearch.jhtml

Gay, and dear, but *might* work out cheaper over all for you. Although I really doubt it.

Out of this lot, go for Amazon, OR get someone you know on the hype from England to take delivery of your stuff from play.com, and then send it to you.

In my opinion Lost is the show that you can't just watch any episode and pick it up. Like you have to watch from episode one and go on from there, get the whole story...

unlike a show like the office, i could miss a few episdoes and pick up from whenever and still enjoy the show...

Lost is the show I've always meant to watch but i never got around to it. Saw the first episode and i find the show pretty cool and a nice premise.

War Lord

I'd like to have seen prison break, but I was never able to see the beginning and so I'd be lost if I were to start now.

Also Oz, same thing.

I jumped in on 24 pretty late.

I never saw the first 4 seasons. Season 5 aired over here and I figured: "What the heck?"

I was surprised. I didn't need to watch the first 4 seasons to get hooked on to the show. I followed it quite well. It just grabbed hold on me as soon as it started.

I'm glad that I sat down and watched it. Now, I have to track down the first 4 24 seasons DVD boxsets.

TheCorpulent1

08-05-2006, 09:59 PM

You should definitely check out the previous 24 seasons. You haven't really experienced 24 until you've witnessed President David Palmer in all his badass glory. ;)
