TV Junkie - a list by SaneAmy

About this list:

I've never been a huge movie fan, but am a total TV junkie. I almost always leave a movie wanting more...thinking "what happens next?". With a well thought out and well-written series, you get a deeper involvement with both the story and the characters. The heavier and more developed the shows mythology and continuity, the better. These are some of my all-time faves.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Collector's Set (40 discs)

First to recommend

14 people recommended this item

Description

Complete series (7 Seasons) of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Joss Whedon is my hero...10+ years off the air, and this is still #1 on my list of all-time favorites TV shows. And there's a good chance it always will be. If you're already a fan of the show, you know what I'm talking about. If you're not, you don't know what you've missed.

Firefly

Description

Another Joss Whedon gem-this one tragically short-lived. With an incredible cast (nobly led by the adorably charming Nathan Fillion), after you finish the season you'll be left wanting more. And luckily, you can have it with the follow up major motion picture, Serenity.

Angel - Seasons 1-5 30-Disc DVD Set

First to recommend

Description

Spin-off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Joss Whedon's "Angel" maintains links with the old show, while maintaining it's independence by creating a respectable mythology of its own.

Battlestar Galactica

Description

One of the most finely written and acted series on television today...or ever. If you're turning up your nose at it because of it's cheesy 70's predecessor, think again. This is an entirely different show. I saw the miniseries just before season 3 started, and was instantly hooked. It's quickly jumped far up the list of favorites shows of all-time.

LOST (Complete First Season)

Description

I have a love/hate relationship with Lost...Most of the time I can't believe how incredibly good it is, sometimes I find it entirely frustrating. But it's always engaging and I still eagerly tune in every week.

A must-see, this HBO series only lasted two seasons, and was never given a proper ending. It deserved better.

Wonderfalls

Description

Another sadly short lived Fox series that was canceled mid-way through it's first season. The series DVD's contain all 13 episodes, including 9 that never aired. This wonderfully quirky and whimsical show follows twenty-something, slacker Jaye, a part time employee at a Niagra Falls, New York souvenir shop-much to the chagrine of her overacheiving parents and siblings. She inexplicably begins to hear the voices of inanimate objects around her. They instruct her to help out total strangers, and to get them to shut up, she complies.

The series ends rather abruptly, and for the most part satisfactorily. But as with a lot of shows that end suddenly, you're left with the impression that it's a season end, rather than a series end. With an all-around likable cast and lighthearted story, it's nonetheless worth the watch.

Veronica Mars

6 people recommended this item

Description

The series overall has it's high points and low point (season 1 being by far the best, in my opinion). Kristen Bell's performance can be credited in large part with the shows success. I particularly enjoyed the relationship between her and her sometimes PI, sometimes sheriff father (Enrico Colantoni) Smart and witty, a critical fave with low ratings constantly teetering on the edge of being cancelled. It managed to last 3 seasons-in large part due to grassroots fan support-before getting axed.

Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Season 1)

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

I was never a huge fan of the Terminator movies-heck, I don't think I've even seen them all. I tuned into the show for a few reasons: 1) Firefly/Serenity alum Summer Glau (Cameron) and 2) it was a new shows during the stark days of the writer's strike and, 3) I love a show with kick butt women characters, and this one's got two. I'm struggling with the erratic handling of the time-travel storyline (not a big fan of those in general), but it has potential. I hear it's coming back for a second season, so I'm hoping Fox gives it a chance to iron out the kinks.
