I like Buffy and Angel. I bought the entire 7 seasons of Buffy a few months ago. Now that I have a good dvd player I'm going to watch every single one. I am now searching for every season of Angel.
I wasn't as impressed with Angel. Boreanaz is so wooden, if he poked himself in the chest with his finger he'd be dust. But I was definitely a Buffy fan, I bought each season's DVD set as soon as it was available, and I enjoy not only the episodes, but the commentary as well. Grey's Anatomy is a fine show with excellent writing. Another one I used to love, particularly for the witty dialog, was Gilmore Girls. I'm also a Stargate SG-1 fan, and have all 10 seasons on DVD. They took what I consider a somewhat mediocre movie, and turned it into a uniquely brilliant series.
Here in the States all of our Late Night shows are all repeats due to the WGA (Writers Guild Assc.). If they don't resolve it soon, all of our regular TV shows will be repeats. The WGA is striking over money. They want money from the shows that air/downloaded from the internet. The big companies are making money, so why can't the writers? If it wasn't for good writers all the shows would suck.
Believe me, Ed, the world knows about this stupid strike (although in some ways I do support it). I don't really get affected by it, though. However, they haven't even started filming the new Lost season and that's the only thing really worrying me. Oh, and The Office has been put on hold as well. When it's late we get Letterman here - funny guy, but the repeats are starting to go back to February.
The Oscars and other award shows are in serious trouble. If the writers don't get back to work soon, the actors will have to make their own monologues and jokes. Considering how boring the Oscars are already, this could be good or cause serious nightmares.
I loved Gilmore Girls but got out of it around the third season and now it makes no sense to me. Maybe it's Stargate that Michael likes...they all seem the same to me
That's funny as. I don't watch TV and thus don't care, but it sounds like there's alot of potential to lose alot of money from that strike.
