[ QUOTE ] Whatever you do, STAY AWAY FROM RED DWARF. You might just cry watching it. [/ QUOTE ] Cry from laughing to hard, perhaps. One of the funniest shows ever on TV. The first couple of seasons were a bit rocky, but it is hysterical after that.

Also need to pick up Sports Night. [/ QUOTE ] Red Dwarf was class the first three series and went downhill from there, play.com have got a box set of the fit 4 series got it before Christmas and is pretty good value, ( I am assuming it is the UK version not the US one). If like UK comedy then Blackadder and Fawltey Towers are musts, if like the Office then I sugges The Royle Family as well but that may be a bit too UK ified for US tastes. If you like Old sci fi then V isnt too bad a watch although the effects are a bit outdated. Some of these are probably only on region 2 so not sure if you can watch them as we have pal format, multi region player should andle it I guess. Red dwarf is available here but seems expensive http://www.playusa.com/playusa.asp?s...16&Go.y=10

Re: DVD TV Series Suggestions
I've been thinking of getting King of the Hill. That show cracks me up. I think a new season came out a few weeks ago. All the stores are always sold out of every season available, so I'll probably have to order it.

Re: DVD TV Series Suggestions
Stargate SG:1. Brilliant sci fi concept. bad writing. But it has MacGyver and former Oregon All-American safety Chris Judge.
CSI Arrested Development Simpsons Ali G Show Futurama should be right up your alley The Office -AA

Thanks all for the replies. Anyone have any comments regarding Farscape (or any other program run regularly on Sci-Fi channel)? Thanks, [/ QUOTE ] If you are going that route, go for stargate. Farscape IS a good show though. I just can't imagine paying for the DVDs. Same thing with Stargate. I just can't see myself buying them, because the shows are on TV so damn much.

I just did that with some british copies of Coupling.
