I think the Internet is the new Watercooler

In addition to all the valid points made above, for me the biggest selling points are that I can watch the shows at a time and place of my choosing and crucially satisfy that "more" impulse when one episode is over rather than wait another week for the next one - remember when we all had to do...

Is it just me or was there some extra exposition added into the story recap at the start of this episode? - Mohinder explained how Arthur could use the catalyst to activate the formula or some such. I enjoyed these last two episodes more than most this season although there were still more...

I'd read over at originaltrilogy.com that using Nero might be to blame. Will maybe try using imgburn and see if that makes a difference.

I have a quick question. I downloaded the dvd-9 version a couple of days ago. Like most people who've seen it I was blown away by what Adywan has been able to achieve. However, is anyone else having issues with the layer change? On my player it skips from chapter 26 to chapter 28. I can see...

Amen to that. I had read about the show last year and actively went looking for it. I liked the first series - even if some of the early episodes were a little bit "Dawson's Creek" meets "The Day After" ;) it was still better than most of the cheap reality TV crap that clogs up the screen these...

Still making my way through Season 2 and just found out about this release. Like the look of the deluxe box however, I hope it holds up better than my season 2 set - I opened mine after having it delivered by Amazon to the UK only to find that the retainer doo-hickey for the last disc is busted...

I hadn't thought of it that way - I just took his reaction to seeing Valente as comfirmation of what he had secretly been thinking for some time - kinda "damn, I'm a smart guy and the evidence is piling up now to suggest that I'm on the wrong side here." FWIW I think he's smart enough to know...

Coming from the UK I'm used to shows having short runs - 6 episodes is about the standard for a season here. While the normal 22/23 episode runs you have in the US do give writers opportunities to really develop characters etc it does sometimes lead to a lot of padding. I am loving this show at...

Sorry, I've been a naughty boy;) my excuse is I live in the UK. Season 1 aired here in a graveyard slot on ITV4 *after* I'd read about it in a magazine and found online copies. I plan on buying the DVDs - I will most likely get hold of a R1 copy as these things take ages to come out on R2. Even...

Are we allowed to talk about them yet ...at least in a non-spoiler fashion? I've watched the first two but am saving the third one for tomorrow night. IMHO what I've seen so far has continued the upward trend of the second half of last season and got me psyched for the rest of this seven episode...

And ironically we have people griping on Amazon.co.uk that they will have to order R1 to get the briefcase and all the extra guff. :laugh: I think I'm going to be just fine with the R2 set as I don't see the need for the briefcase, origami unicorn, mini spinner and letter from Ridley (which I...

Can't say I'd noticed it before. Will have to go back and check now :) Maybe I'd just written it off like the video quality as being a product of its time and the way the show was put together.

Scotland, England and Wales make up Great Britain Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland make up the United Kingdom In reply to Andres: its hard to explain succinctly. Someone from Texas has a different dialect to someone from New England or South Dakota so to call an accent...

Its not too bad - fooled me anyways. I could be nit-picky and say its an English accent rather than British as we have so many regional dialects (even here in Scotland where there are less than 6 million people the variety is amazing) but then we are equally guilty of talking about British...

I'm still chuckling at those "Irish" accents at the end of the episode (although I think the black guy was meant to be cockney) my wife is Irish and was also killing herself laughing at them. By contrast the guy playing Kensai (sorry never seen him before) was very good at his posh English...

Hey Ben, can you enlighten me about the audio issue you mention on the Candice Bergen Christmas show?

Yeah, looks pretty sweet. Think I'm going to pre-order this one. I held off on the Season one set and when I did buy it I ended up with the slipcase non-book version...then right after I bought it they launched a Region 2 version here in the UK that replicated the original set :frowning:

Ok, guess its time to get the ball rolling on this one as a few people have already suggested we move discussion about Season 2 to a seperate thread. Here's a pre-sale link for the set... http://www.amazon.com/Saturday-Night...9115038&sr=1-1 Discuss away!

Thanks for the link Travis. Like most people here I've been looking forward to this announcement while also worrying it would never come.

Hey Moe - got any links to someplace I can find out more info about this release? Thanks

Apparently he was arrested for the 2nd degree murder of a NYPD Officer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillo_Brancato_Jr. I didn't know this either until I saw this thread and looked it up.:eek:

Hi guys, not sure this is the correct forum for this post but I felt that it was worth a shot. I have a Phillips dvd player with SACD capability. Recently I have noticed a strange quirk that never used to happen - when playing sacds the player stops after every track (STOP appears in the...

Neil Young at Massey Hall (the one with the DVD version of the show in 5.1)Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth on Dualdisc.

I don't know, in the case of the Landshark I got the feeling that the repetition made that one funnier as they keep turning the punchline on its head (Garret Morris and Dan Akroyd getting bashed instead of the shark) That kind of set up reminds me a show we had in the UK called "The Fast...

I would agree with that. Some sketches seem dragged out for that very reason as the initial funny gag is milked for all its worth.

The quality of film stock isn't an issue. Funny is funny no matter how you dress it up. I thought the heart surgery skit was amusing but not outstanding. By contrast, the one in the Richard Pryor episode where he is in bed sick was just dull. Different strokes for different folks perhaps...

Is it a reflection of our times and the way that TV shows are presented today that the pacing of these early shows seems slow? The sketches feel long compared to more recent examples, the muppet skits and Albert Brooks films seem to last an age a times (the heart surgery one was a nice concept...

Thanks for that - very interesting article. I especially loved this part "After a 32-year wrangle for music clearances, Broadway’s DVD production team was given only six weeks to get the collection to market in time for the Christmas buying season.":laugh: You think they would've planned their...
