Tales Posted January 28, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaggis Posted January 28, 2008 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tales Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share 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.

Tales Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aimless Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Californication, although it's definitely weighted towards comedy. And sex — the clue is in the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
