gWIL 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 I've decided to go from a value pick last round to a quality over quantity pick this round. This show might have been around until the end, but I didn't want to take that chance. I didn't know how much people around here had ever watched this show, but it is just fantastic. Really ahead of its time by several years. David Kelly show that probably got the least press/promotion, but was also among his best. The acting, directing and writing are all top notch on this series. Philip “Fyvush” Finkel is at the top of his game as lawyer Douglas Wambaugh and even Lauren Holly does a great job acting. You also have Tom Skeritt, Kathy Baker, Holly Marie Combs and Don Cheadle. That's a hell of a cast right there. I'm shaking my fist in anger at you right now. I was hoping this would stay till the next round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 I think it's time we blow this scene, get everybody and the stuff together. Okay, three, two, one, let's jam. Cowboy Bebop Yeah, I probably could have waited a couple rounds on this one, but much like Daria I didn't want to risk what I perceived to be the very, very, very slight chance that someone else might snag it first. I'm not sure if I'll take any other anime series this entire draft, but Bebop is pretty much the best anime series ever so it's not like I really need another to begin with; it's a brilliant ode to all things Western culture (westerns, blaxploitation, jazz, rock and roll, and so on) with brilliant (mostly) self-contained episodes and the single best original score I've ever heard for any television series. I could seriously rewatch scenes for the sole purpose of listening to the accompanying music, which makes it worth bringing on to an island by itself. Combined with an absolutely amazing series and this was a pretty easy pick, and one I've been waiting to make for a couple of rounds now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No Reservations I watch this show religiously, I love it, havn't missed an episode and I'll need creative ways to eat all the bugs and snakes I'll be forced to eat... plus a warm reminder of civilizations.

Craig Th 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2008 The Real World by Mary-Ellis Bunim and Jonathan Murray My all time favorite reality show.

Jebus 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 Ah crud, I was saving that one. Why do I still underestimate the love for the teen dramas? I was WAY too into the Dawson, Pacey, Joey love triangle in Season 3. Go Pacey! By the way, I actually met Josh Jackson on a movie set. I had to fight the urge to yell out "Pacey!". It's just not professional. Mmm, pre-Cruise Katie Holmes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 The Young Ones My favorite British comedy show. Fairly dated, but charmingly so. Anarchistic, surreal and totally 80s, which is right up my alley. Also some pretty badass musical guests, ie Motorhead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
