Just got Earth2 (forgot about that cutsie little creature - ugh), but the print is de-lish.
Chef! coming out soon - finally - on DVD. Stars Lenny Henry as an imperious, obsessive and sharp tongued chef of a 4 star English restaurant (BBC production) - very funny (at least season 1). My wife and I met in the restaurant biz and it was broadcast in our city when we started dating - so it has special meaning. If you've worked in a restaurant you might find it worth checking out or renting if you can find it.

Andromeda Season 5!

Just ordered Lost (the Region 1 release) as I can't wait the half a year it'll take to get to the end on C4 over here.

Contemplating Battlestar Galactica as its cheap on t'internet at the mo.

Scrubs Season 2 is getting awful close as well.

My LOST DVDs are due to arrive Sept. 8th (there's something like 3 hours of extra footage+features!)

Space: Above and Beyond
BSG Miniseries + Season 1
That $140 Buffy Complete Series Set
Dead Like Me season 2
The rest of Farscape, when the Starburst editions finally get released
and I'm thinking about checking out Alias

I would get the Veronica Mars DVDs, but I hear they're going to be pretty bare-boned.

Wow, what excellent taste you guys have.

Oh, and I loved Chef, well, the first two seasons anyway. Went off the rails but there you go. The irony is that were it to come back now, Gareth would be dismissed as a poor Gordon Ramsay clone.

Well, the big one is "Profit" and it's going to be ages before I get it on Netflix.

Others:

Lost
Alias (season 4?)
Serenity, but of course, I'll buy that one.

Highly recommend, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, Alias 1, 2, and 3, The Office and the first year of Dead Zone. Later years of Dead Zone, while I watched it, became to much of a liberal politcal statement. Stick to the story guys, not your politics.

Or at least be like Star Trek TOS, tell stories exploring different political views, that's one thing I miss from most recent series (except FF and Dark Angel).

BBC America has been showing locally (in a seemingly random pattern) Gordon Ramsay shows: Ramsay's Boiling Point, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares Revisited. I'm not sure how he comes across to others but having worked for someone very much like him I find the shows very interesting and the man very funny... now. Back then I wanted to strangle the b#st*rd.

the movie is not the Series. Only the facts have been changed, to irritate the innocent; the names of the actors and characters remain the same

Let's see, there are 167 DVDs on my Wish List but, the next one I get may be Smallville season 4 (which ships on September 13), unless something else catches my eye earlier.

and the defining show in Sci-fi comedy:
Red Dwarf

Hey Citizen,

I don't know if you saw the thread on Space Above and Beyond in these forums but here is the info:

Space Above and Beyond will be released exclusively by Best Buy on September 6, 2005. The other stores/online stores will release the DVD set at some later date. You can order the DVD set from bestbuy.com for $41.99.

The DVD set will be bare bones, no extras, but it's still a DVD set.

'Lost' Season 1
'Six Feet Under' Season 4
'Babylon 5' Season 1

I might try 'Kung-Fu', too, as I've heard a lot of good things about it.

Bruce Lee had a couple of meetings with TV execs concerning it, but he didn't create it or anything.
The show ran 3 seasons, and had a planned ending, which brought the story full circle- rare for TV.
The kung-fu is simple, perfect Tai-Chi deriven stuff, beautiful to look at, yet effective. (no lightning Hong Kong moves here, refreshing)
And the stories are all about forgiveness, tollerance, and acceptance. With a few fights thrown in to get the ratings.
Well worth investing in.

Hmmm..."Lost", "Alias4", "West Wing6" (usually buy the cheaper R1 versions but given we've yet to see this series over yet yet, reckon I'll spend the money & forget the extras). Argh, too much money!

But the one I'm really excited about is "American Gothic" - finally out in October! (was pleased to see one of the cast in the BDM).

NEEDY

The road to Hel is paved with good intentions

Hmm, where do I start?

I'm definitely going to get the US release of Battlestar Galactica
Scrubs Seasons 1 & 2
Sledge Hammer! Season 2
Stargate Season 8 when it's released
Smallville season 3

and possibilities:
Wonderfalls
Lost (It's only just started here, so I'm not sure yet - or if it will be as good watching it again)
Alias Seasons 3 & 4. Though they're not definites considering they're not as good as the first two
and Smallville season 4. It's the most uneven season with some really bad ones (who came up wtih the idea of Lana being a witch?!!) but theres also some really good episodes in there too (Pariah for one)

The new BSG season one is very good - if you liked the "pilot" (they called it a mini series) you'll like what they do in the next 11 (#?) episodes.
I've seen a few eps of Earth 2, and apart from the Sid and Marty Croft stuff I look forward to watching more - it's early but so far so good.
Has any one heard of the Defa Scifi Collection? I saw it at Amazon and decided to take a shot. Rotten Tomatos says:
Synopsis:
The East German-based DEFA film studio produced three great sci-fi films in the 1970s, which are collected on this set.
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1147837-the_defa_sci_fi_collection/

sounded interesting so what the hey.

Yeah I know. I was one of those lucky UK viewers that got to view it months before it was shown in the US

I've held off buying the UK set though, cos I knew the US one would have all the extras. Same with the miniseries.

I hope to get it soon so that I can watch it again before new episodes are shown over here
