Members Khan Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 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? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sheilaforever Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted June 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Others: the original "Forsyte Saga," "Foyle's War," and the parts of "Upstairs, Downstairs" that I missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 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.

Administrator Toups Posted June 13, 2010 Administrator Share Posted June 13, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lovely_m Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 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. My So Called Life Daria Maude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Khan, why don't you just watch those shows online? Toups already mentioned MegaVideo etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 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?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CassieFan Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 I just intended to mention Freaks & Geeks. Also, Lie to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 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.
