Papa Lazaru 0 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Garth Marenghi's Darkplace hasn't had a mention yet. 175754[/snapback] A lad at work said they finally released it/are releasing on DVD as it was ages ago that it was on TV.

adios 717 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I've got it on my computer, I don't usually bother with them but I reckon the extras on that DVD would be worth while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3980 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Babylon 5 175612[/snapback] Correct. Also apart from the obvious Buffy/Angel try Jeremiah, Dark Angel and Weeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras 234 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Babylon 5 175612[/snapback] Correct. Also apart from the obvious Buffy/Angel try Jeremiah, Dark Angel and Weeds. 175760[/snapback] If you haven't seen the short-lived Firefly, it's among the best television I've seen in ages.

Firefly, Futurama and about 3 times they tried to cancel Family Guy only for it to defy them everytime and come back stronger because it is one of the best tv programmes ever!

I now tend to wait and see if a series "makes it" before committing to it (I'm a download addict) because I'm sick of too many embryonic axes - most recently Threshold which I did take a risk in watching because of the Goddess Carla.

It had grown and grown over the course of the episodes and was showing exactly how good it could/would be for the rest of that series and beyond and it got canned! With Dark Angel its ages now since i have watched it (i watched all of both series at the time though) and i think series 2 was the better series showing that like Firefly it was getting better with time not deteriorating and should have been kept on.

adios 717 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I haven't seen Firefly, but wasn' that what Serenity was based on? One of the most vaccuous movies I've ever seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most vaccuous movies I've ever seen! 175805[/snapback] Yes but despite their efforts it only made sense imo if you'd seen the series and therefore were "invested" in the characters. I didn't think the film was that good either in fairness though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most vaccuous movies I've ever seen! 175805[/snapback] Aye, but Joss Whedon isn't exactly a film producer; he's honed his skills on long plot-arcs and character development over the course of a series, not a two-hour film. The film would have been more in-depth if you'd had the back story which is in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serenity just seemed...shiny. Edited August 11, 2006 by DotBum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5917 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Personally Over There - Iraq drama, 1st episode was shit but the rest were good Wanted - Crime action/drama - multi task force go after top 100crims prisonbreak/lost/24 - go without saying my name is earl - original and funny the 4400 - x-files rip off but canny There are so many good series on in america the last few years its too much to keep up with. Sopranos series 1-5 CSI/Miami/NY etc Shield series 1-??? Plus Miami Vice series 1 and 2 have just been re-released. Just watched the ultimate fighter 2 and 3 re-runs on bravo too. Great show, and series 4 starts in 2 weeks! American TV puts our TV to shame tbh. Why cant the BBC and ITV do shows like Fox and ABC, instead our most popular show is Eastenders. Compare that with 24 and its no wonder the yanks take the piss out of our TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planet Earth has been the best TV from either side of the Atlantic this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5917 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 yes, but when talking about tv series most people assume your talking about fictional comedies,action, dramas etc. Not documentarys and game shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8989 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 West Wing Smallville the early series of Buffy Band of Brothers Over There- is supposed to be good, a lot of my mates have told me to watch it, but it's on Sky and I'm a pauper at the moment. So I'm recommending it even though I've not actually watched it. 8 Simple rules- recommended in the same way as Two and a Half Men, in that it's shit... I know it's shit, you know it's shit, they know it's shit....but it's easily watchable and there are some genuine laughing-on-the-inside moments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonraider 0 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Father of the Pride desperate housewives, (always worth a rewatch) sex and the city Becker Shameless has to be my favourite though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
