Tales Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 As my mania for video games has faded, I'm starting to get very interested in TV-series on DVD. So, I want some recommendations. I very interested in a show that mixes drama and comedy. Crossing Jordan and Las Vegas are prime examples of what I'm looking for. No pure comedy like Friends. It would be great if it is possible to get them below 18 GBP so I can avoid customs. I'm also a fan of Battlestar Galactica(the political and realistic part), O.C., 24, Lost, Prison Break, The Shield. Anything similar I might like? One last thing, is it possible to get Edgemont on DVD? I can't find it anywhere.

Noodleman Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 what he said, also The Sopranos and The West Wing are excellent (well the 1st 4 seasons of the west wing.)
Slaggis Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Dexter Buffy/Vampire Slayer The first two shows that came to mind when thinking about great american shows. Though, maybe Big Love?
ipaul Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 HOUSE! I got the second series on DVD for £12 and it's very good, you may also enjoy it
Twozzok Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Scrubs. Actually no, Arrested Development. Arrested Development is the best TV series I've ever actually seen.
jayseven Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Dexter, Carnivale, six feet under, heroes, hustle. ):D

Tales Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 HOUSE! I got the second series on DVD for £12 and it's very good, you may also enjoy it I've seen a couple of episodes on TV. It's good, although a little creepy, I will see if I can find it cheap. Thanks for reminding about it. The rest of them don't interest me at all. Not what I'm looking for. Thanks anyway.
Mr_Odwin Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Drama and comedy in buckets from The West Wing (Well, first four/five seasons as Noodleman said.)
Tales Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 Drama and comedy in buckets from The West Wing (Well, first four/five seasons as Noodleman said.) Didn't know. I'll look into it.
Daft Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip Just started watching it. Loving it.
Tellyn Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I recommend Alias seeing as you're a fellow 24 fan.
The Bard Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Scrubs is the greatest show ever conceived, so I'd go for that.
Twozzok Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Didn't know. I'll look into it. Arrested Development is a comedy, with plenty of Drama. I don't actually know anyone who hasn't liked it.
Tales Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 Me, watched an episode, it just didn't appeal to me. Same with Sunset. Alias, I don't like the main character. Scrubs. No.
Babooo Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 My personal faves are: Smallville (love this too much) Lost (Bit up and down though) 24 Prison Break House
Aimless Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Californication, although it's definitely weighted towards comedy. And sex — the clue is in the name.
jayseven Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 californication is an easy-watching show. Did I mention CARNIVALE? because you need to watch it. *points at everyone at once*
Oxigen_Waste Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Six Feet Under Scrubs Oz Arrested Development Freaks & Geeks The Wire Don't watch OC or Lost. You'll get gay cancer. Oh... and also Curb Your Enthusiasm. It rocks.
Aimless Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 californication is an easy-watching show. You say that like it's a bad thing. All my other recommendations had been, well, recommended.
Sheikah Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Heroes and Scrubs, 2 series everyone should have.
Daft Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 This AWESOME series on BBC 1 called "Damages". Its on right now and it is awesome! ...Did I mention it was awesome? :p
Jamba Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Heroes, Dexter, Kingdom Hospital, Six Feet Under, Supernatural.
jayseven Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 You say that like it's a bad thing. All my other recommendations had been, well, recommended. oh no, don't get me wrong :P I watched the first four episodes eagerly, and would've watched the rest if I hadn't missed three in a row for various reasons
