Chrisisall,

Dark Angel only 3 and a half stars? Thought that series was tops in your book. Oh well, here's my list:

-Firefly
-Buffy
-Freaks and Geeks
-all of my star trek on dvd(ds9 Voyager, next generation, original series)

-Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X
-Original car classics (Gone in 60 Seconds/Vanishing Point/Bullitt)
-LOTR
-Billy Jack series of films

There are a few more I can't think of right now but I am starting a Mel Brooks collection soon.

It is, but I can't give it four stars due to some suckitude in the second season....

...and is that TOS the original vintage, or will you be getting the re-tooled ones with the new FX?

I agree with NV on Kenshin as far as anime goes, but only the first two box sets. After the Legend of Kyoto the stories get rubbish.

I've seen some of the retooled original series in HD, and I have to say it's pretty impressive visually, Spock looks greenish(I don't like that) but the new scenes of the ship and planet exteriors rock. I will stick with the standard dvd sets that I have!

-Firefly/Serenity

-Stargate Atlantis
-X Files
-Stargate SG1
-LOTR

In all honesty I've yet to get all of Stargate and I'm saving up a little bit for the MASH: Martinis and Medicine collection and a decent case to put them all in. My parents have The Complete X files collection that I gave them. Eventual I will include...

-Eureka
-Chuck
-Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
-Tales of the Gold Monkey
-Quantum Leap
Maybe...
-JAG
and...
-Space Cases

There are few other shows that I love enough or aren't shown in reruns enough already. As for Trek I only really like TOS, TNG, Voyager and Enterprise and they show those in reruns all the time.

P.S. I may have to get this Remastered TOS I'm hearing about for my dad's B-day in March.

And Brisco is something every browncoat should own!

Ok first off I must say this... dial up sucks, and so does rural South Dakota. Anyway looks better than the original. It's not cutting-edge amazing but it's also not so flawless or flashy it detracts from the outdated sets and costumes... or, for the most part, outdated acting.

EDIT: By no means did I imply an insult. I enjoy the original Trek for the most part but you have to admit with the exception of a handful of performances that it's a bit.... cheesy and the fighting is always so pathetic it's hilarious.

Yes...but much more importantly...IT STARRED GINA TORRES!!!!!
And....she was smokin' hot in it, and ultra kick-ass bad! When you eventually buy the thing, please write and tell your thoughts of the final episode....After numerous viewings I still can't decide if it was intended as a grand finale to the series...or the teaser to a new season of adventure that was not to be. It ended right there, and Sam Raimi went on to do Spiderman...the bastard!

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. It's one of the 1 hour episodes, and the first half of the episode sort of awkwardly leads into the awesome second half.

List-nut Chrisisall

I'm just over half way through Brisco at the moment. Read about it ages ago on this very here forum and it stuck with me so I decided to give it a go as Bruce is just too cool to ignore.
And not to advertise a certain fast food chain but "I'm loving it!"

Anywho onto my list (in no order) and I'm assuming by series we are talking TV not films:

BSG (New and Classic)
Buffy/Angel
Band Of Brothers
Due South
Six Feet Under
Dark Angel
X-Files
Spaced
Futurama
Life On Mars
and I'm sure there's one I'm forgetting, about a mismatched crew just trying to get by....now what was it called?

Plus I'd add Heroes and Lost if they continue to keep me watching and don't screw things up.

If the show continues the way it is then it will definitely be in there, but at the mo' I've avoided getting SGA and SG1 on DVD, as great as they are. They can go on a 'Must Buy Eventually' list.

I'd also like to add 'V' from the 80's to my list (thanks MSB). I got so many it's difficult to pick.
