Hey all I have not been here in quite a while. Thanks to an E-mail from Dave I have re-found the forum. Lots of changes since I was last here. The most important being I have become disabled do to some ongoing uncurable illnesses. But that just means I have more time for movies and TV!
Hope to...
My idiot of a roommate don't realize how much TV shows I can watch. She challenged me to a contest for the month of June... who can watch the most TV shows in a month. With the prize being an Amazon gift card.

Years ago after watching a single Hammer film I basically written them all off because I really didn't care for the film or it's style... so in my head the Hammer films were not for me. That film being The Satanic Rights of Dracula that I got in a public domain set.
But recently I watched...

Well it is that time of the year again. Christmas time is among us. This is the first year since my wife passed away (right before before Christmas) that I actually feel like I can get into the Christmas spirit and am actually looking forward to this month's marathon! I will be...
Like I am sure most of us do... I like to watch Christmas movies, shorts, TV Eps., etc. the whole month of December. So I was wondering if there will be Something like this done in the community much like the Halloween thread we had. If not community wide I will do a thread like my current one...
Yes I admit it... I was one of those fools that used to never watch the old Black and White films. While I have seen the light several years ago and began watching them I am very far behind on films from really anything older then the mid seventies.. So I thought this month I should rectify...
What with it being October... and the fact that Horror is my favorite genre... I was wondering if there was any good horror TV series I am missing. I have a fairly nice selection but always looking for more to add.

Decided to start watching the original CSI tonight. This is a long running series... so at a couple episodes per night it should take me quite a while to get through them all.
I just finished watching all of Crossing Jordan on Netflix. Good story line... and I liked all the characters. I found I enjoyed it for the entire run. So I hope to add it to my physical collection before too long.
Now that I am done with it... I need to decide on the next TV series to...

I am planning a week long (Thurs. - Thurs.) Thanksgiving marathon.... to attempt to see if I can watch every Thanksgiving episode of any of the TV Series I own on DVD. So far looking through my collection I came up with... Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Own all Seasons): Pangs Commander in...

OK... I just got the TV Series Booker (spin-off of 21 Jump Street) And I must say I absolutely despise the case they used. It is one I personally never seen before.. and hopefully will never see again. Granted this set is very cheap (I paid $9.17 for the set of 20 episodes)... but they should...

As the subject says... this is purchases I made through-out 2008. I keep track of all my purchases with DVD Profiler... and on another forum we were posting our yearly totals. While doing so I noticed the majority of what I bought the past year was TV Series/Miniseries/TV Movies... so thought...
