The Simpsons - The Complete Sixth SeasonThe Simpsons - The Complete Sixth Season
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $8.94
Everyone who knows anything knows this is the best show ever. Season 6 is also the best season. This season has the perfect mix of crazy episodes and emotional ones. The commentaries are good also. Best Episode: Lemon Of Troy
Malcolm in the Middle - The Complete First SeasonMalcolm in the Middle - The Complete First Season
Buy new: $32.49 / Used from: $23.50
My second favorite show. No two episodes were the same. It's a real shame that they only made one season on DVD, but I hear season 2 is coming out. Try to find re runs of this show to watch the other season, cause it only gets better. Best Episode: Bowling
Arrested Development - The Complete Series (Seasons 1, 2, 3)Arrested Development - The Complete Series (Seasons 1, 2, 3)
Buy new: $82.49 / Used from: $53.49
The smartest show of all time. All the style's of comedy like wit, slapstick, awkward, political, satirical, etc, into one show. If you buy the first season you will finish it in a weekend. its bleepin addicting. Best Episode: Meet the Veals
Nip/Tuck - The Complete First SeasonNip/Tuck - The Complete First Season
Buy new: $20.49 / Used from: $9.64
Watch it and enjoy a graphic, well written and well acted drama/dark comedy. It can actually get a little tear jerking without getting sappy. Best Episode: Sal Peri or Quentin Costa. Plane Crash or The Carver unmasked?
Big Love - The Complete First SeasonBig Love - The Complete First Season
Buy new: $29.99 / Used from: $20.50
Favorite show from HBO (hey that rhymed.) A family show, with some extra family (hey, that was a pun.) While most shows play on family's wrongdoings and failings and how much attitude the kids can have, this show's drama comes from the relationships built and destroyed through the lies told in protection of themselves. Best Episode: Come, Ye Saints
Monk - Season TwoMonk - Season Two
Buy new: $19.49 / Used from: $19.00
I don't get why there's so many haters out. It's funny, well acted by Tony Sholoub and well written. This is a show I can watch a lot and not get tired of. Best Episode: Basically every episode but a handful are amazing.
Freaks and Geeks - The Complete SeriesFreaks and Geeks - The Complete Series
Buy new: $35.49 / Used from: $32.49
Why did this show get canceled? Cause execs are dumb. For a comedy, this show is surprisingly touching (not a bad thing.) Each character is completely real and completely able to be identified with and has an episode where their attitude and personality are explored. Best Episode: The Little Things
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - The Fifth YearLaw & Order: Special Victims Unit - The Fifth Year
Buy new: $41.49 / Used from: $17.43
Best of the Law and Order franchise. Its the darkest, the grittiest and the most entertaining. Since it's about sex crimes it may be to much for some people, but try to watch it anyway. Best Episode: 911
Firefly - The Complete SeriesFirefly - The Complete Series
Buy new: $38.49 / Used from: $19.75
Another example of a show canceled to soon. The addicting show for every genre; comedy, action-adventure, sci-fi, western, romance, mystery and crime. Watch the movie Serenity to get some closure on the story. Best Episode: Out of Gas
Breaking Bad - The Complete First SeasonBreaking Bad - The Complete First Season
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $16.98
The best new show. Too bad no one watched it because it's amazing. Bryan Cranston is awesome as the lead. Brilliant moral conflict in the plot and great use of the camera make this show the best. Best Episode: Down
Gilmore Girls - The Complete First Six SeasonsGilmore Girls - The Complete First Six Seasons
Buy used from: $145.00
Don't listen to people who say this show is unrealistic and they talk to fast. The dialog is stylized, it's supposed to be strange. Give it a chance, but don't watch the last two seasons. They sucked a lot. Best Episode: The Bracebridge Dinner
30 Rock - Season 130 Rock - Season 1
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $16.48
Funniest show on tv. Better this season than the simpsons and office. I remember when it first aired against Studio 60, and everyone thought this would tank and 60 would be the beezneez. There's a reason it won seven Emmys this year. Best Episode: Reunion
The Wire - The Complete First SeasonThe Wire - The Complete First Season
Buy new: $31.99 / Used from: $22.95
How can I put this to sound like every white person's TV blog. Sort of like salt and vinegar chips for TV. After a while of forcing yourself to eat them, they become the most rewarding and most realistic portrayal of police you've ever eaten. Best Episode: Mission Accomplished
Avatar The Last Airbender - The Complete Book 1 CollectionAvatar The Last Airbender - The Complete Book 1 Collection
Buy new: $39.99 / Used from: $25.00
Fake anime on Nickelodeon is the beeeeeeeeest!!! Best Episode: Any of the three season finales could easily be the best.
Twin Peaks - The Definitive Gold Box Edition (The Complete Series)Twin Peaks - The Definitive Gold Box Edition (The Complete Series)
Buy new: $69.99 / Used from: $54.70
Engaging and surreal. This ensemble mystery story is a somewhat forgotten gem of television. Shame cause it's amazing. Yes, it's expensive, so if you're on a budget watch them on hulu.com or from bittorrent of something. Best Episode: The Last Evening
Dexter: The First SeasonDexter: The First Season
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $12.23
I thought HBO was the only network to have movie quality shows, I was wrong. This show is for all the CSI fans who will one day realize how much CSI blows. Michael C. Hall gives one of the best television performances since Kyle MacLachlan in Twin Peaks. Best Episode: Born Free
The Office: Seasons 1 - 4 CollectionThe Office: Seasons 1 - 4 Collection
Buy used from: $95.40
Even thought i liked it better than the UK original, I have given up hope with this show. Season 2 and 3 were pure comedy gold and worth the DVD purchase, but season 4 was bad. Season 5 is starting to get better though. Best Episode: Christmas Party
House, M.D. - Season OneHouse, M.D. - Season One
Buy new: $19.49 / Used from: $14.99
Really awesome performance by Hugh Laurie. This show is like three genres in one, comedy, mystery and drama, all set in a hospital. I remember when I got the dvds and I'd stay up til 5 just trying to squeeze in one more episode. Best Episode: Distractions
Veronica Mars - The Complete First SeasonVeronica Mars - The Complete First Season
Buy new: $45.49 / Used from: $14.50
Great series. It looks like another one of those dumb teenager high school shows, but it's not. The season long mystery is well crafted and the episodic mysteries are good as well. Second half of the last season kinda sucked though. Best Episode: Not Pictured
The Shield: Season OneThe Shield: Season One
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $7.49
Really don't need to get into this one. Spin on the cop-show, detective genre. Chiklis gives an amazing performance. Best Episode: Dominoes Falling
How I Met Your Mother: Season OneHow I Met Your Mother: Season One
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $13.12
Seinfeld and Friends for the of the new millennium. The one liners and Neil Patrick Harris make this one of the funniest sitcoms to come around in a while. Best Episode: Slap Bet
The IT Crowd: The Complete Season OneThe IT Crowd: The Complete Season One
Buy new: $15.49 / Used from: $12.99
The best British comedy show hands down. Series two is where it really shines though. So many classic moments. Richmond in his little room, "Gay: A Gay Musical," and my favorite quote: It's to real Roy, it's to real! Best Episode: The Work Outing
Psych - The Complete First SeasonPsych - The Complete First Season
Buy new: $19.49 / Used from: $19.05
Not quite Monk and sometimes tries to be Monk, but still hilarious. The two leads have great chemistry. Some of they mysteries are sort of predictable but it's good enough to watch for the laughs. This show is very addicting as well. Best Episode: Tuesday the 17th
The Singing DetectiveThe Singing Detective
Buy new: $21.49 / Used from: $18.27
Absurdly good mini series. Twists reality and fantasy to create a mind eff of a series. The ending might e a letdown to some people, but whatevs. Best Episode: Who Done It
Spaced: The Complete SeriesSpaced: The Complete Series
Buy new: $42.49 / Used from: $39.97
My second favorite British show from the Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz guys. Fast paced and a lot of spoofs and great camera work. Best Episode: Battles
