Don't bother buying the miniseries separately (part of a cylon plan, no doubt) it's included here. Far less cheesy than the original series, there is fodder for a sociology thesis in this show. AND there are really cool special effects!

Cylon Occupation!! OH NO!! It's almost more fun to watch these earlier episodes after the later seasons when you know who all the cylon models are ~ or you could just be nerdy and watch them in order..
Freaks and Geeks - The Complete SeriesFreaks and Geeks - The Complete Series
Buy new: $54.99 / Used from: $45.99
The precursor to "40 Year Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up" ~ see Judd Apatow's early unappreciated television work with the best halloween costumes ever. Could only be improved with the addition of Paul Rudd to the cast. (Wait, was that out loud?)
Band of BrothersBand of Brothers
Buy new: $59.99 / Used from: $39.99
THE WWII series, as seen through the eyes of Easy Company, one of the first paratrooper companies. This 10 hour series goes from training to D-Day, through the Battle of the Bulge, to Eagle's Nest & V-E Day. And it's all true. The DVD features interviews with the real men from Easy Company. A MUST HAVE for any WWII history buff.
Boomtown - Season OneBoomtown - Season One
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $2.70
A cop show that was a bit too sophisticated for its time. Telling the same story from several points of view, gives more incite, showing all the characters as compelling & flawed in their own unique ways. You care about them & feel a bit of a loss when the series ends.
