Here's some for you Ag...

The Young Ones....British Comedy with Rik Mayall...absolutely hilarious. You can buy "Every Stoopid Episode" on DVD...like I just did.

SciFi you say?

Millenium.....I loved that show. It was created by Chris Carter (X-Files). Beautifully filmed and scored (Mark Snow, also of X-files). Stars Lance Henrikksen and one of my favorite TV actors, Terry O'Quinn (he's on Lost now). I don't want to give the plot away...but I think you'd like it. Great stuff. Newly out on DVD.

You said hidden gems, but since some people have mentioned shows like 6' Under and Curb Your Enthusiasm, I'll mention another that certainly isn't hidden. 24, I didn't watch the first 3 seasons at all....but have watched the first 2 on DVD (3rd due out DEC 7) over the last couple of months and was thoroughly swallowed up by it. Great stuff...especially for conspiracy theorists such as yourself! :P :P :P
Was Millenium the show w/ Bishop from Aliens? I recall it being on a while ago on the Space channel...

I've always been fascinated by 24, and heard that it was fantastic, but its always struck me as the show you _have_ to watch from start to finish, every episode in order. That kind of scares me off, because I don't have access to the DVD's, nor the inclination to plan the next 12 months of my life around watching each show in order on TV.

Is 24 worth buying the DVD set?
