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? ;-)

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.

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?)

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.

      One of the things that I found unnecessary and a bit disturbing about Ambitions was that in almost every episode someone was holding or shooting a gun.  Jamey and Ron seem to have the same fetish.

      I had thought that there was a Tommy Biddles on there, but then I realized I was thinking of Dr. Biddles on Santa Barbara. Never mind!

      I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.

      It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. ** I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems. *** edit to add: The show never specified what Mona's job was for Nicole.  Home manager?  Office manager?  Head personal assistant?  I'm sure there would have been a title?    Mona asserted today her upset with Eva and with Leslie.  That they used her and ruined her reputation.  I just wish I knew what Mona's job was. If Mona was an official manager, then it would have made sense for Nicole to trust the recommendation, if Nicole thought Mona had done a proper hiring procedure.  But if Mona is just an informal helper, then why wouldn't Nicole order a background check?

      Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy!
