It might be worth your while to start The Wire around episode three or four, it does pick up. Or maybe even start with a later season. You just might get hooked and then have the impetus to go back.

What can I say? I'm a cheap bastard. I hate having to pay for DVD's, even rented ones, when we're paying through the nose already for digital cable.

Deadwood

Daria

OZ Season 6.

Homicide: Life on the Streets - I only got into it during the final two seasons. I want to experience the whole show.

Curb Your Enthusiasm

The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency

In Treatment

Supernatural (not dying just curious)

Not only do I think less of you, I demand that you be expelled from this board. Go back and try again or I will hunt you down and punch you in the throat. Nothing personal, it's all in the game, yo. All in the game.

I would LOVE to see re-runs of L.A. Law. I loved the big ensemble cast and the humor that the show used, along with the drama. It was a perfect mix. Great acting and writing, along with wonderful characters. I am just dying to see Rosalind Shay's reign of terror from the beginning along with her only-on-television demise down the elevator shaft. Unfortunately no one out there has posted episodes on youtube and it's not out on DVD despite being one of the most popular and critically acclaimed dramas of its time. The re-runs also aren't being aired anywhere in the U.S. right not (except on some small, regional network called AmericanLife). I hope that maybe it'll show up on some network, hulu, youtube, or DVD sometime soon!

Others I would love to see include:

Dynasty, Dallas, Falcon Crest, Knots Landing, Maude, and 227 (cause there's no place like home!)

Two more:

"One Tree Hill" - was gonna start watching it on Comcast On Demand when the first season rolled around, but I didn't have the time then. Now I do, but they're at the beginning of season two now, and I can never bring myself to start a soapy show in the middle like that. Should I?

"Party of Five" - I've seen just about every other seminal teen drama of the last twenty years, but this one always escapes me. I know it's online, but I don't feel like looking for it.

Oh, and the first ten seasons of the Real World. I've seen most of San Francisco and New York, but I need to see the rest, and oddly, it's nearly impossible to find it anywhere.

I personally would start from the beginning. I'm a big proponent of the show - I think the writing (huge fan of Mark Schwahn) is spectacular and the use of music is amazing. It knows how to balance romance, friendships, family, and it sometimes gets Melrose-y crazy. But yeah, I love the writing, directing, production values.

I'm a Survivor freak so I can't wait til s21. I'm also looking forward to the new seasons of Superantural, OTH and Criminal Minds.

I never watched The Sopranos, so if my fall schedule allows it I might get into that one.

Oh, you have to watch both. The last episode of DC was heartbreaking. And the end of Alias was perfect!

From the end of season 1, it's the best show out there!

    • And I'm here for it.   Also...YES, PLEASE. 
    • 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! 
    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And here I am rewatching and...

    • 5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.
    • The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.
    • So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???    
    • Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)
    • Oooooo I like these. I like we are on the same page about Little Brownie Man. And I hope to remember this at the end of June to see how much of it came to pass. I definitely feel that the Eva vs Kat story is about to reaaaally get going.    As for the B/C stories, it's funny you mentioned the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story first. Because out of all of those, it is the only one that has enough structure and build to it that it could keep going as a B story that could eventually climax. I think the only POV we don't have in it is Joey's at this point because Month 2 put in the work to give us Doug's and Vanessa's and they are now circling each other and their relationship. And we still need to know Joey's endgame.   Why we gotta pick on Jacob and Naomi? We need that goody good couple. lol. They talked about how they got together. Mind you, very briefly. But we do need to know a little bit more about both. Something I was hoping we were getting by having them in their own stories....him with the crooked cop, her with the lawsuit...but it didn't turn out as hoped. Hopefully, that won't be the case with June though.   Yeah, I want to see more of THAT Ashley.  I finally had to break down and explain to my manager why I keep laughing every time I see the bottle of Febreze at work. The product placement definitely be working.
