Mine's "Six Feet Under." What's yours?

ETA: No, I'm not making a(nother) silly pun. 6FU is truly the one show I regret never watching. I've heard so many good things about it. Surely, I'm not the only one who has a series they missed out on? ;-)

Can't think of an entire series right now but I'm daying to watch Alias season 3-5. I have the DVD box for years now but never find enough time...

@ Khan: Watch it! It's (SFU) great

Others: the original "Forsyte Saga," "Foyle's War," and the parts of "Upstairs, Downstairs" that I missed.

I keep saying I will (from everything I've heard about it, it's exactly the kind of show I would have loved to have written for) but five seasons' worth of DVD's is a huge and costly commitment for me.

After I re-watch The West Wing (I'm on Season 3 right now), I'm thinking of watching either Buffy The Vampire Slayer or 6 Feet Under, for the first time. I just hope they're available streaming online/megavideo.

Felicity- I had watched the show until the town I lived had dropped the WB channel. I never got the chance to be disillusioned with Keri Russell's haircut.

At the risk of starting a jihad on the subject, go for "Buffy," but watch only the first three seasons if you don't wish to feel let down by the whole experience. Yes, seasons 4 through 7 had their moments -- the episodes "Hush," "The Body" and "Once More, With Feeling." For me, though, the whole arc and purpose of the series felt complete when the Scoobies graduated from high school.

It's odd to think one haircut could bring down a whole series. Nevertheless, IMO, not having all those luxurious curls just pointed up how blah Russell was, making continued watching of "Felicity" the definition of "labored effort." Not surprisingly, too, since "the Haircut," girlfriend hasn't touched one hair on her generic, talentless head. ;-)

My So Called Life: My heart weeps still for this classic. WTF, America?

Daria: Meh. It was funny, at times, but it wasn't what I'd consider essential viewing.

Maude: First two seasons w/ Esther Rolle (Florida, "Good Times") as Bea Arthur's maid and comic foil were great. Then, Florida leaves for her own show (which magically changes her husband's name from "Henry" to "James"; and transports her to Chicago's South Side, even though Maude lived in Tuckahoe, NY); some boozy British broad replaces her as the maid for awhile; and the stories - the issue-driven ones, in particular - become extremely bleak. (A low point, if you will, is when Maude is diagnosed as manic depressive. Because, bipolarism always generates laughs, no?)

I can't believe Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared have yet to be mentioned. Of course, I've already seen them, quite a few times, so I didn't list them. Hopefully that's the case for the rest of you.

Toups, you won't regret watching Buffy.

I have both Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared ready for two years now, but can't get myself to actually watch. Also, I've got Party Down ready, but I'm waiting for summer to begin.

The shows that I'm actually DYING to see is Big Brother 12, and the newest seasons of How I Met Your Mother/Two and a Half Men/Big Bang Theory/New Adventures of Old Christine.

    • Anyway...they literally mentioned the secret room today on Days and yes, this show needs a Kristen lesbian story lol.
    • Yes, they did a 'premiere' of Maggie's death episodes at the ArcLight theatre in Los Angeles, arguably then the nicest movie theatre chain in the USA. Plus, Suzanne and Deidre were in a ton of scenes together during this time. Whatever happened between them happened after 2004.
    • There are episodes with Jenny (Mary Ellen Stuart) that she was in pre-writers strike.. and I know that she lasts until at least August 1988. It's a shame that the show didn't try pairing her with Rusty since the two had more chemistry than she had with Ross and that he had with Rose.
    • Was that when she put on the"Slut of Springfield" red dress and made a complete ass of herself at the CC, so of course Alan fell madly in love with her on the spot?
    • Oohh...now I'm not sure. Long did come back in '87, didn't she. She broke up Ross and Vanessa almost from her first minute back. Van and Ross are at the Country Club when Josh dumps Reva. And Reva dramatically drapes herself on the CC stairs. 
    • Glad you enjoyed watching. Yes, Michael seems like fun. I am always interested in more of these niche talk show appearances.
    • Thanks for the tag @DRW50
    • Upon reflection, I think you're right, their chilliness toward each other was more recent. She said women on the show in 1984 were not supportive and she still stays away from them. She seems friendly with Susan Hayes so Deidre is the only woman still around from those days, though I guess Kristian Alfonso and Leann Hunley could also qualify. And it might be someone long gone but who is still present in Suzanne's social circles. 
    • I don't know.  The animosity seems to be more recent than the mid 80s.  When Maggie was a victim of the Salem Stalker i remember reading an interview with Suzanne where she said they aired the episode(s) surrounding Maggie death in a theatre and made a big deal about it.  Suzanne was very upset about being fired and Dee comforted her and said that they were making such a big deal about it because it was Suzanne/Maggie.  I cannot find the article but I will keep trying. That said Suzanne's comments on Soapy about how some of the female cast members treated her during her illness was disappointing to hear to say the least.  
    • Anyway... Kristen should have a prison lesbian story arc. And then come out and become obsessed with Marlena so we can move her on from the Brady nonsense. Is that secret room still in the DiMera mansion?
