The show Oz, produced by some connected to the Wire, also had a similar theme to its finale.

I have the Homicide Complete Series set, and that's a wonderful display package. Everything else I bought one at a time to eventually get the whole series like Xfiles, Millennium, Babylon5 and a whole bunch of one season sets like Kingpin, Nowhere Man, Odyssey 5, Space Above and Beyond, etc...

Glad to see this series get some praise. I bought all the series at full price so I basically payed nearly 750$ with tax. Well worth it for me. I remember being so excited to see the next episode of DS9 during its first run. Also many of the plot happenings are so relevent to today that it's...

Yeah, I love this show, and it gives me what I want...real drama and issues with a fantastic and edgy premise (as opposed to a mundane family drama about nine to fivers). The hospital scenes hit home and all the actors were great. Way to knock one out of the park in the first episode.

I'm still watching, for whatever that is worth. I like this series a lot, which is a huge surprise. There's meat to the stories and it has well done character development. Seems like many in here didn't give the show a chance, but I'm sure there's others who did, enough to matter. I think the...

I had the same reservations as many did, and some of these posts are damn near exactly what I was thinking, but the one episode I saw was still pretty damn good with all the tension created by the grey area rules of war. Ofcourse, I will not be able to watch the show without having my BS...

I'd like to see something that would have some relevance to what's going on today...kind of like, how more things change, they just stay the same. That type of deal I could go for. Something with some balls though, like revealing a part of history nobody wants to talk about, or outright does not...

Not sure what the original poster was talking about, but far as TV releases...I'm basically getting every single TV show that I ever loved released completely on DVD, with only a few stragglers that I may or may not buy on DVD anyways. I couldn't be happier, except that I need more money to pay...

Just say Beyond Hypothermia, those into gun fu with a some good character like in Hard Boiled and The Killer will love this film. That climax was just off the hook. Totally serious film with some really impressive action scenes. I should add that the dvd version I saw was not anamorphic, but the...

While I agree with the sentiment in this thread, I do not mind watching trailers before a movie in a movie theater. I find that it gets me ready to watch a film. I've watched movies in the theater where I came in just in time for the movie starts and I find myself not as focused as I would've...

Series Completed: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine X-Files Kingpin Series that I own all sets released so far and plan to complete: Oz The Shield Sopranos The Wire There's other series that I'm lagging on, but those above are basically complete. They're best of the best, the one part of...

Season 3 getting a bad rap, I say I have to disagree. It was such a heavy show, that during its first run, I just taped the episodes to watch later, after filling a tapes of 8 episodes a piece, I watched them back to back and could not stop watching them. It's a very high quality show all the...

There's a performance of Snoop Dogg that I missed taping. They had a band, and they (snoop and the dogg pound) performed a remix and some album cuts off his first album (not just singles). I'd pay good money for a copy of that on DVD. Unfortunately they only have a performance later in his...

Yep, I know this is an anthology show, but the series had a consistent high quality that it really is worth owning all the uncut episodes in season box sets. Some of the episodes were even related to each other. I believe best of's and box sets can coexist in the marketplace, but season sets...

Keep in mind that Xvid playback is pretty suspect. There's like a checkerboard effect over the screen, and overall quality is barely VHS, when these same files look DVD quality on my computer. Buyer Beyware. Sure,they play xvid/divx, but that's about it. Also, if I didn't know better, this model...

Ah, 16:9 Widescreen, just what I wanted to hear, thanks!

I've decided to only buy new stuff that would fully take advantage of High def dvd, when it comes out. Back the Future wouldn't qualify as it's an old movie.

Yep, sorry guys, but the old Battlestar Galactica does not come close to even holding the jock strap of the new series. The remake was shock and awe in how good it actually was (I was expecting cheesy boring crap). It really sold the reality of the situation, making it seem extremely desperate...

HBOHD frequently shows 2.35 ratio movies in 16x9, like Terminator 3. The battle over MAR is far from over and is likely to get even worst than the odd MAR titles of today. That's not being pessimistic, that's being realistic.

Hmm, for some reason I thought when Chris was looking at the poor family at the gas station, that Adriana couldn't have kids, and that was the reason why he turned on her. Great episode, and I never fell for that talk that the Sopranos jumped the shark. It's some type of paranoid, irrational...

Hehe, and ofcourse...people who thought Picard was over the top in the ST movie First Contact should rewatch I Borg. Watch Picard yelling at folks, walking around agitated, with none of the crew even trying to approach him except for Guinen (sp?). Picard was always a mean mug when it comes to...

err, make that just the 90's on Showtime. I will not buy these sets as I want season sets, not best ofs, of any configuration. The series is a pretty damn good one (at least for the first few seasons) that I want every episode. Hell, some of the episodes for season 1 and 2 have a sort of semi...

Thanks all for your contributions to this thread. All these titles are nearly overwhelming and it would seem I have a lot to choose from. Starting with the most serious movies first, or at least takes itself seriously. I will soon chime in one some of the titles I have seen, especially since...

Sopranos Season 4 is the last one I have bought. Would've bought Babylon 5 season 4, Jeremiah, and Oz Season 3 if I didn't run into a recent bought of money problems. My tv boxset wishlist is almost starting to get out of hand, especially considering some must have's are comming out soon, like...

I won't be getting this, even though I really like some of the episodes. The show really was hit or miss, but by season 2 it was obvious the show wasn't going to live up to its potential, and then started having long streaks of bad episodes. If I can find these sets used, I may only buy...

I really didn't mean to badmouth Tokyo Raiders that badly, it really is a fun movie with some parts I liked, but wouldnt be something that I'm looking for (Charlies Angels is also pop, and I can't stand that movie series). I have no problem with people listing reasons why they liked something...

I have a feeling this thread is going to turn into that huge anime thread where everything is a bit too positive. That's why it's so hard for me to trudge through these threads when it seems everything is liked without a real regard to quality. Thousands of movies with reviews and blurps that I...

I can't answer your question, but I am also a fan of Showtime's Outer Limits, and it was of a consistent high quality that they should release the season box sets. Just because it's an anthology type of a show doesn't mean they can get away with the best of collections.

one last bump...
