Classic TV

bonkey

I'm looking for suggestions...

I am currently building my DVD collection (and video when I have no option) up a bit, mostly with TV series and miniseries stuff as opposed to movies. I dunno - I just like remembering stuff I watched over months on TV, and being able to relive the suspense.

Plus, I feel that its a different medium - you have more time for character development and story-telling, and less "per minute" budget for SFX, which isnt necessarily a bad thing.

I just thought Id post it here, because it may bring back a few memories (who remembers the first broadcast of V, or the last ep of Sapphire & Steel)

Here's what I've got....which is open to criticism and suggestions. Some of ti you may not recognise (like Alice) as it was never released no UK/Irish TV.

Oh - and for the record - I am not interested in adding any StarTrek in there, nor any other contemporary series which I havent already included. Its more the oldies and miniseries I'm interested in suggestions for.

The List

---

Alice in Wonderland
Angel
Arabian Nights
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Dune
Farscape
Gormenghast
Merlin
Neverwhere
Robin of Sherwood *1*
Sapphire and Steel *2*
The 10th Kingdom
Stephen King's "The Stand"
Ultraviolet
V

*1* I only have series one (starring M. Praed), cause I cant stand that gut Connery who played Robin in series 2. Although I'm tempted to get it just in case Ive changed my opinion

*2* I havent actually got this, but its top of the list to find.

Draco

I have the Stargate Season 1 boxed set and the first DVD of the Starship Toopers cartoon. Both are nice enough and have decent story arcs.

Dark Skies...now thats a thought. Pretty good. Shame it was cancelled, IMHO.

SAB....POS. Nuff said.

B5: Excalibur is another "cancelled after 1 series" series which could have shaped up.
