Re: PHE Press Release: Leverage: The First Season

Heya. Thanks for posting, Ronald. This set is already on my must have list. It's one of the best shows to come out of network cable in a long time.

I originally passed on the broadcast episodes but had decided to download a few episodes and fell in love with the show. Now that Leverage is coming out, I have wiped the show from my hard drive and I'm anxiously awaiting the release of this show.

It really is one of the better shows ... much better than Battlestar Galactica, Flash Gordon and My Name is Earl. There's aren't many new shows that I've come to like but this show is on the top 10 list. It truly is an underrated show.
