It sounds like you have too much on your list already, but Sopranos should be put on there somewhere. [/ QUOTE ] this is the correct answer CREAM

[ QUOTE ] Buffy the vampire slayer [/ QUOTE ] don't be afraid you will look gay and you will find a highly witty and entertaining show. [/ QUOTE ] I completely concur. My wife got me into this show and now I love it. "Angel", the spinoff, is also a great show...actually, overall I think it's a better show than "Buffy" since there are no weak seasons of it, while both the first and last (7th) seasons of "Buffy" are subpar (but still worth seeing). You kinda have to watch the first to get all the background stuff anyway, but most of the really good plotlines (and the best character, Spike) don't show up till season 2. Highly worth watching, and the complete runs of both "Buffy" and "Angel" are available on DVD and thru Netflix. Don't watch "Angel" though until you've seen the first 3 seasons of "Buffy", or you may not get everything that's going on. Buffy season 4 and Angel season 1 kind of intertwine and run concurrently, after which both shows (with the occasional exception) tend to go off in their own direction. Fun stuff. --Scott

Re: What TV Shows should I add to my netflix queue?
Some suggestions (from my own and my wife's lists):
- The Simpsons (one of the 5 or 10 greatest programs in the history of TV) - South Park (not as consistent as The Simpsons, but does it -ever- have its moments) - Northern Exposure (absolutely charming program, especially in Seasons 1-4) - The Sopranos (season 4 is weakest, but it's still better than 95% of the stuff on TV today. the other 4 seasons are among the greatest television programs ever made) - Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Angel (Buffy's spinoff, and as good or better) - Deadwood - Six Feet Under (my wife likes this show more than I do, but I've only seen about 2 episodes and I get the feeling it's one of the shows you have to watch a lot before it grows on you) - Twin Peaks (although I believe only Season 1 is available, unfortunately) - Law and Order, regular, SVU or Criminal Intent (only a few seasons available on DVD though) - Monty Python's Flying Circus (actually, the complete boxed set is worth a BUY for $200, not a rental) - The Awful Truth (old Michael Moore series, getting this would depend a lot on whether you care for Michael Moore) - Black Adder (great Brit-comedy series with Rowan Atkinson of Mr. Bean fame) - Fawlty Towers - Homicide: Life on the Street (the greatest cop drama of all time) - Hill Street Blues (the greatest cop drama of all time before Homicide) - Keeping Up Appearances (another Brit-comedy, probably not for every taste due to its focus on an older, retired couple, but still absolutely hilarious, if a bit formulaic) - Are You Being Served? - MASH (the older episodes - read "the ones before they let Alda direct" - are better, but the whole series is high-quality) - Mr. Show - NYPD Blue - The Osbournes - Oz - Red Dwarf (zany British comedy/sci-fi show) - the British Granada TV Sherlock Holmes mysteries (any of them - the late Jeremy Brett gives the greatest portrayal of Holmes to be found anywhere - on TV, film or stage) - Star Trek: The Next Generation (recommended for anybody) - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager (probably more for big fans of the series) - 24 - Twilight Zone (Rod Serling is the bomb. Although I don't think a definitive complete collection has ever been released - correct me if I'm wrong - most of the episodes are out there in DVD form somewhere, in various collections) - The West Wing - The X-Files - World Poker Tour DVDs (how could I leave this one off?) - ESPN WSOP 2003 and 2004 DVD sets - Cheers - Seinfeld (also gotta love how the new Season 5 and 6 box set comes with a small replica of the Puffy Shirt) - Frasier - Sledge Hammer! (farcical 80s cop show, way ahead of its time) --Scott
