Back in March, there was a QotD about TV shows on DVD, and I answered about the 3 seasons of shows that I owned so far.  I got some recommendations in the comments, and I started watching sales at my fav stores for more sets I was wishing for.

We've found that now that we are cooking more, we enjoy sitting down to watching a Tv episode with our meals.  Since we are only on the 1 dvd at a time through netflix deal, and our TiVo is upstairs so we don't watch anything new, the TV series that we own are the things we watch when we don't have a netflix movie/show to watch.

Right now, we own quite a few more than we did in March (3 vs 10 seasons!):

• 3 season of Roswell
• 2 seasons of Tru Calling
• Full season of Firefly
• 2 seasons of Buffy
• 2 seasons of Angel

Next up, we'll start in on season 3 of Roswell - we didn't have that one yet when we finished season 2, so we started on the next thing we did have.  After that, Buffy and Angel even though we don't have the whole series on either.

In the meantime between the ones we own, we've been getting TV DVDs from Netflix.  We watched 3 seasons of The 4400, and omg, love!  I'm only sad that I didn't start watching it soon enough that I would have been able to watch season 4 in real time (I think it's just finishing up for the summer).

The 4400 is super and definitely fits my kind of show with some action, drama, and scifi all in one.  I'm so glad quornflour thought to suggest it!

Babylon 5 - The Gathering (Pilot)

E wants to rewatch Babylon 5, which obviously will take a while since there are 5 seasons, but I haven't seen any of it before.  I'm more excited about the episodes with Bruce Boxleitner (season 2, I think).

I think I'd like to see Sliders again.  I faithfully watched the first few seasons, but then trailed off at the end.  Another older series that might be cool would be Quantum Leap (since Journeyman is being touted as something similar and I like that concept a lot).

I've slowed down on buying TV on DVD, but I'm still watching for good deals on the series that need to be finished (Buffy - 5 more seasons - and Angel - 3 more seasons).  I would like to own Heroes at some point too, super show that I know I'll enjoy rewatching (as judged by how excited I am still on Monday nights while they are playing reruns).  No hurry, but it's sure nice to have such great options to watch!

Do you have any other suggestions along these type of shows for me? :)

Firefly - The Complete Series

I was checking to see what was in my "TiVo Suggestions" folder just now, and it appears SciFi had a few of the Firefly episodes that it taped today.  I couldn't help but push play, even though there are other things I should be catching up on.  I realized about the time that the beginning credits started (after the first the first 5 mins of the show), I was sitting here with a continuous big grin on my face, all alone, watching  these characters I enjoy so much :D

After I catch up on the other TV shows on DVD that I am watching, I'm *so* going back to this series.  But in the meantime, I might cheat and watch this ep on my own this afternoon.  Our Mrs. Reynolds is just a hilarious ep, and having just seen Christina Hendricks on Tru Calling (where she also was a devious witch!) so it is funny that way too.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to quote along with Mal and Yo-Saf-Bridge ;)

Video: Show us a TV series you own or watched on DVD.

I own 3 different seasons of TV shows:

Roswell - The Complete First Season

Roswell - The Complete Second Season

Firefly - The Complete Series

Firefly, we just watched last summer/fall all the way through.

Now the next ones I would consider buying are the full series of Angel, I've been enjoying the reruns on TNT.  Maybe even Buffy, but that's a lot of season to buy!  I'd also like the second season of Tru Calling, because there are eps on there I never saw.

Sure, most sequels stink, but what movie really needs a sequel?

Easy one: I'd like to see a sequel to Serenity!!  I know, Joss is busy with Wonder Woman and after that Goners, so it's unlikely at this point, but wow, it would be super duper!  In the meantime, I guess I enjoy the small things my fav actors from the series and movie do... a couple of the shows that they were on this tv season already were cancelled (Standoff for Gina and Daylight for Adam).  But there should be more Morena on Stargate coming soon and Jewel on Atlantis. now that 2007 is here, woo :)  I love all my whedon-show-alumni, though, and can't help but watch whedonesque to keep an eye on them :)

Serenity (Widescreen Edition)

★★★★★

I am very excited about dinner tonight.  We bought all the stuff when we went shopping last night to make french dip sandwiches, which is one of my very favorite things.

Sometimes, when I start eating a certain meal, I'm repetitive and then we have that meal regularly.  This is one of those, we had a lot of ciabiatta rolls a few months back and ever since, it's been a comfort thing that I want regularly.

Plus, I've gotten pistachio marshmello fluff from the deli the last few times I've had it and it matches so well.

Firefly - The Complete Series

AND we've been eating them at the dining room table and watching episodes of Firefly when we eat them.  What isn't there to love about this set up?!
