Also I have a fairly large anime collection and since you listed some of yours i will do the same (in no order of importance):

Cowboy Bebop Ltd Ed. Set
Serial Experiments Lain
Boogiepop Phantom
Love Hina
Sister Princess
Dual!
Martian Successor Nadesico
Irresponsible Captain Tylor (on order)
Bakuretsu Hunter

Those are just the TV show animes i own (and probably not all of them) I have tons of OVAs and movies too.

And it is sooooo unfair!!

We have to wait until January for BtVS S3! Thank goodness they are running S1-6 on FX so that I can still catch everything post-S2. You would think I might just tape them off FX but sometimes they skip episodes which I find to be annoying.

I think of it as a cross between Office Space and the Rutles: All You Need is Cash. While it is a fictional comedy about office workers and their lives within the office (and without), it is not a traditional type sit com, but it is done (and I would add brilliantly) as a mock "reality" TV show. I think that TV in America could be better, especially sit coms, if they took some lessons from the creators of The Office. And if you're already a fan of Bricoms, you won't be disappointed with this as a blind purchase. It is invigoratingly original.

Ah, I haven't heard of that one. I feel my life is closer to completion now that Reginald Perrin and Butterflies are on DVD. Those are the Bricoms I first noticed (aside from Monty Python) on the PBS station I used to watch them on, and they also influenced me greatly, not only in terms of shows I liked, but also as a writer. The way those shows were written were a cut above what was being done for American TV, IMO. I've never been happier to get two Britcoms on DVD!

You'll have to let me know what you think of the Office. And go to http://www.bbc.co.uk to find help with the easter eggs found on disc two!

Well for all intents and purposes you probably wouldn't like 2.4 Children. It's my guilty british pleasure (much like the movie Shopping). It is almost a british version of Roseanne but not as crass. And for a season or two starred Georgina Cates (from An Awfully Big Adventure), which is what originally caught my interest in the show.

Any british person ive talked to about it have always said it was rubbish.

2.4 Children use to be shown on a local Long Island, NY channel. They use to really good holiday shows around Christmas too.

Yes,

I have known for quite sometime that for differences in copyright laws, perhaps, region two gets US TV Shows on DVD looong before Region One does. Another example South Park Season One is just coming out in Region One, meanwhile in jolly old England Season Five is just about to come out.

For a wedding present I received a Region free DVD player. At some point I will have to order Angel Season Two or South Park Season Five from Amazon or Blackstar.

Candygirl, my friend Michael just received Buffy Season 5 from Blackstar. Do you feel like a road trip to Cincinnati?

Ooooh, to the "The Gift" again - without commercials, I might add.

You know how to touch me in the right place!

I must admit that I'm pretty upset about having to wait so long for Buffy...especially knowing that other people have access to season 5. arg! (or should I say grr-arg!)

But I wouldn't bother recording episodes off of FX anyway. I mean you have the basic shell of the episode, but some of them are pretty badly cut. I find myself watching and unconsciously adding the lines that are missing. I have all my favorite episodes from season four and then every episode from season 5 up to now on tape (mostly commercial free), so I'm relatively happy...but I'd be happier if I had them all on DVD.

If anyone is interested, I just got an add via e-mail from the sullivan boutique telling me that the Road to Avonlea series, first season has come out as a complete box set of DVDs. That is really cool. I ordered from them before and it worked much better than AU. The set cost $99.95. I just can't afford it for a while.
