I started watching the BBC version of The Office. It took me a while, but I finally really got into it. I was worried the American version of The Office might be as bad as the American version of Couplings, but it turned out to be even better than the BBC version. Be sure you're buying the version you are looking for.

Firefly

10 people recommended this item

Description

Joss Whedon is great! Firefly was Whedon's third tv series (after Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff Angel), and even though it was cancelled by Fox mid-way through it's first season, it's become . In fact, around two years after Firefly was cancelled, the entire cast was reassembled to film Serenity. This is such a great show- funny, entertaining, well-written, and the cast is incredible. You should definitely give this a chance!

This description comes from the case:

Five hundred years in the future, there is a whole new frontier, and the crew of the Firefly-class spaceship Serenity is eager to stake a claim on the action. They'll take any job, legal or illegal, to keep fuel in the tanks and food on the table. But things get a bit more complicated after they take on a passenger wanted by the new totalitarian Alliance regime. Now they find themselves on the run, desperate to steer clear of Alliance ships and the flesh-eating Reavers who live on the fringes of space.

One of Firefly's stars, Nathan Fillion, recently popped up in a new Fox show, Drive. Let's hope Fox doesn't cancel this show, too!

Battlestar Galactica - Season One (2004)

11 people recommended this item

Description

I loved the original Battlestar Galactica but the revised version is even better. Excellent product values, good acting, great plotlines- everything you want. But it is not just mindless entertainment. Instead the new BSG deals with interesting issues of identity, souls, and what is means to be human. Plus there is plenty of human interest side stories to keep everyone happy.

Finally, sci-fi that my wife likes to watch as well (that is a true rarity)

Get it on DVD and prepare to spend hours fleeing the Cylons

The Shield

Description

Yeah, it's another cop show. But this one has excellent action, drama, and at times goes over the top with some scenes that are somewhat shocking. I would say that the characters have multi-dimensional aspects but that sounds dry and boring which The Shield is anything but.

LOST (Complete First Season)

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.

Stargate SG-1

First to recommend

Description

Stargate SG-1 is one of those incredbly successful phenomenons in a subset of the population where the rest of the population has absolutely no idea it's going on. Well written, well directed, well acted, and pretty good effects that get better with the seasons as the budget grows. If you start watching this on DVD and find you like Stargate SG-1, you will have years of enjoyable shows ahead of you. There are that many episodes: http://sg1-episodes.notlong.com

I rewatched this over the weekend and it was easily reaffirmed as one of my favorite shows of all time. It came from Judd Apatow and resulted in a long relationship and the start up for some of today's biggest names.

Wow. Set aside a couple days to watch this entire miniseries. I was blown away by the quality of this HBO production. Make sure you have a great home theater with high quality audio (cranked up). You really feel like you are witnessing World War II.

The Sopranos

First to recommend

4 people recommended this item

Description

I love The Sopranos in which Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) portrays a family man -- with a difference. He has a loving wife (Edie Falco) and two children (Jamie-Lynn DiScala as 'Meadow' and Robert Iler as 'Anthony' or 'AJ'), all of whom turn a blind eye to his other family. Tony is the boss of a New Jersey mafia clan, and the heart of this fascinating show is his conflicted efforts to juggle his responsibilities to both.

The Sopranos is violent, however the savage beatings and killings seem like just another day at the office. There is great acting, good music and intriguing plots. I like every single characters in the show. A must see!

Ok, I understand you will never trust another recommendation of mine because of this one but I have to do it... Attractive cops chase down attractive criminals in Florida. Enough action and romance for her to enjoy; enough action and gratuitous... um... romance for him to not get bored. Whatever happened to this (admittedly cheesy) show?
