Recent DVD purchases:

Bored to Death, Season 2. One of my favorite shows, just because it is so odd and unexpected.

The Borgias, Season 1. I enjoyed lots of The Tudors, so this seems a natural.

The Pillars of the Earth. I heard good things, so we'll see.

In Treatment, Season 1. Season 1 of this show is HUGE - 43 episodes, each around 45 minutes long. They are emotionally draining, and I can see why the actors signed on - each episode is basically Gabriel Byrne as the therapist, and one or two other actors as his patients. And they go at it. It must be an actor's wish come true, because it gives them plenty of opportunities to stretch out and push themselves.

# 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Wife wanted to try this one, it was on sale for $10, so what the hey...

Eastbound and Down, Season 2. Just freaking hilarious. So wrong.

Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I'll miss Andy Whitfield. :(

Boardwalk Empire, Season 1. I've only seen the first episode, but it was enough to get me hooked, and I pre-ordered this one. Should be here tomorrow.

Breaking Bad, Season 3. It is such a ride, this show. Watching Walter become someone you won't even recognize from the first episode to the last, it is just incredible.

Hung, Season 2. It's silly, it's fluff, but it's still pretty funny.

Californication, Season 1. Never seen it, but I figured for $10 I'd check it out. I still have some fond memories of Duchovny from the X-Files days.

A great number of the shows I buy on DVD are HBO and Showtime series. It's been pointed out that it would be cheaper for me to just get HBO and Showtime, but I like to get really into the universes of the shows I'm watching, and waiting a week between eps takes me out of that world too quickly. And this way, I can re-watch them any time I want.

And of course I'll be buying American Horror Story when it comes out on DVD. I've already watched it, and it scared the living fuck out of me. I'm not sure I could do a marathon of that show, because it usually took me about a week to recover from the previous week's horrors!

Heard a lot of great things about American Horror Story I'll be purchasing the first season on dvd.

All I can say is "Be careful." Seriously, the team behind the show has done their research, it seems. EVERYBODY has fear triggers, and they seem to have found them all. There are scenes where it feels like every hair on my body is standing on end, and I'm going "Oh no nono nonononono!" while my wife just looks at me quizzically and says, "What?. And then the very next scene, our reactions are reversed, and I'm wondering what she's freaking out about.

Apparently this show is messing people up, too. I know I couldn't watch it alone - as it is, we have to save it for Friday or Saturday night, because it's a given we're going to lose sleep and have nightmares. But it is one hell of a ride, I assure you.

I *HATE* streaming media. It looks like felgercarb to me. A jagged series of stills paraded rapidly past my visual cortex in a pretense of motion. If I get REALLY drunk it looks fine. If I don't stare at the screen 'cause I'm doing other things, it's okay.

Well, I just recently picked up Veronica Mars Season 1 at Amoeba for $9.99

Now, even though folks I respect & admire, like our beloved Joss, had always called it the "Best. Show. Ever." I was kinda put off by this one fan trailer on YouTube that somebody had made for ComiCon a few years back, 'cause a) it made the show look like some'n that would air on Nickelodeon, or as an Afterschool Special, and b) Kristen Bell didn't seem all that talented (or maybe it was her beady eyes?).

Well, this past year I got hooked on Craig Ferguson, and totally changed my opinion on Kristen from her frequent appearances. Also, VM's creator was Rob Thomas, who also spawned Jeremy Piven's Cupid (1998), which I happen to think is the Best. Show. Ever.

I blew through all 22 episodes in 3 days, now head-over-heels addicted.
Watching Season 2 on TheWB.com

If you get a strong Newcastle, Liverpool or Glasgow accent they may as well be talking a different language.
