Yeah. They decided to make it a movie. I think it is called "School's Out". I remember seeing it on Access network. That's probably the only time I've heard the word **** on television....

"You ****ed Tessa Campinelli??"

The actor that played Joey has an eBay store up: http://stores.ebay.com/Joey-Js-Degra...orabilia-Store featuring Zit Remedy shirts and a pin that features "You ****ed Tessa Campinelli??". He looks exactly the same, just bald.

Actually Mr. Rogers said **** once on his show. The train broke down and wouldn't go and he was like ##### get this thing moving already and he just blew up. CBC went to the screen where it said "technical difficulties" because it was a live Mr. Rogers show towards the end.

Supernatural is a cool show if you like stuff like demons and ghosts. Season 1 was released about a month ago on DVD but I havent got it yet. Season 2 starts next Thursday I believe.

Neeper · 09-23-2006, 02:08 PM

If you guys like supernatural science fiction stuff, you should really check out The 4400. You'll get hooked.

CRXguy · 09-23-2006, 02:15 PM

I think my wife and I watched 24, all 4 seasons on DVD in 3 days. LOL.... It's so addicting. I got hooked when I first started watching season 4 on TV. X-Files was pretty bad too. The whole collection in a week. Yikes!!

So far, I got Friends 4-10, last seasons CSI Las Vegas and Smallville to finish. I might buy Prison Break Season One soon.

Remember when Joey had to walk through the cafeteria naked? Classic.

I always get into t.v. shows after they are available on dvd. At the moment, I am addicted to Alias. I never watched an episode until my friend popped in the dvd a few weeks ago and it has become a major part of my life since. Yesturday we watched the episode that aired after the Superbowl which was the best episode so far. I could not imagine watching the series on t.v. and waiting for the next week, the episode always ends in the most suspenseful time possible.

I just finished season three of Arrested Development as well. I can't believe they took that show off the air!!!

I am still waiting for the Wonder Years on dvd though...

That sounds like an urban legend to me.

Great to see the Wire on your list. I think that is the best show on TV right now.

And you should really check out Battlestar Gallatica.

I like Deadwood to but I hate how much HBO charges for for their series.
I am on Prison break right now.

I have Seasons 1-8 of Stargate. They were priced really well. $35 a season for 1-6 and then $54 for 7&8. When it's priced like this people will actually by the product instead of downloading it.

I have yet to by an HBO series new because of the price.

the_only_turek_fan · 09-23-2006, 02:45 PM

Another show that I would love to get is Law and Order: Special Victums Unit. Great show.

Does anyone watch any stuff that comes on A&E? They have some good stuff like American Justice, Cold Case Files, and City Confidential. I might get some of that stuff on DVD as well.

They are really cheap to buy on Ebay aswell. I would prefer to buy the season for around $50, which I think is fair, than download it off of the internet and then have to burn them onto DVD's.

You can order them directly from A&E's website: http://store.aetv.com. I'm doing that for Airline.

I remember that episode.. with the lingerie..mmmm

I Alias is awesome.. I watched the first four seasons on DVD and will probably watch season 5 over x-mas. The way they end their seasons is so crazy.. the end of season 2 and 4 are mind blowing. For anyone that doesn't know its the show that J.J Abrams produced before he did Lost, you can see his style in both. Way more questions than they give answers for.

The wire is a fantastic show. I watched season 1 and 2 on DVD and downloaded season 3.. I think I missed a couple episodes so I might have to go out and get it again.

My favourites are

1. Battlestar Gallactica
2. The Shield
3. The Office
4. The Sopranos
5. The 4400

Eastern Girl · 09-23-2006, 04:09 PM

I watched the entire Sex and the City series in a very short period of time. I never really liked it when it was actually on, but once it ended, I got hooked on the DVDs.

I just got started on the XFiles. Loved it when it was on, though, I had forgotten how crappy the effects were in the first season.

I got Entourage Seasons one and two and went through those really quickly. Jeremy Piven is hilarious!

Devils'Advocate · 09-23-2006, 05:05 PM

I'm right into this as well...so much so, that I'm thinking of cancelling the extended cable. I only recently signed up for zip.ca, but it being located in Nepean (and me being located in downtown Ottawa) is awesome ... I'll return a movie Monday morning at 7am and have a new movie 8am Tuesday.

Anyhow, so far I've watched the first half of season 1 of all three CSI's, SVU, and L&O.

I own the first 5 seasons of ER and first 3 seasons of Degrassi Junior High (had a major crush on Stacie Mistysyn when I was a teenager).

Zip list includes Family Guy, Life Goes On, Buck Rogers, Voyager, Northern Exposure, X-Files, House, Cold Squad and Corner Gas.

I keep hearing rumours of St. Elsewhere coming out soon but don't know if they are true or not. Also, Picket Fences isn't available thru zip, so I don't think that is out. Only other show I would *REALLY* like to see on DVD is Daria.

Neeper · 09-23-2006, 07:20 PM

I just remembered that I haven't seen any full seasons of the Sopranos. How many seasons are there now? It's going to consume a lot of time to watch it all.

For those interested in Zip, they also have a branch here in Calgary. I get my DVDs they day after they send it out. And they receive them back the day after I send them back.
