Oh yeah - Red Dwarf V-VI, I don't have I-IV.
By the way, more on L&C. I started watching the DVDs and the quality is excellent. For a TV show that is 10 years old, the DVDs are very nice. Definitely enjoying the episodes too. As for that bonus DVD, meh. It doesn't even have a Smallville label on it, it's a WB something-or-other, so it ain't nothing special. Smallville Season 4 releases in September or something anyway.

I was a big fan of L&C back in the day, but I somehow managed to miss the pilot, so seeing that for the first time the other day was a special treat for me! It set up the series rather nicely, I thought. And I think the video quality is a little uneven, but more than acceptable (downright shiny in some spots!). And I find that the show is a lot funnier to me now than when I first saw it.
Now if they could just release The Flash on dvd, my superhero needs would be met.

Whoah. Is this wishfull thinking or a type-o?
And how come y'all don't own Kung Fu? That was a really well written show that stayed more or less true to itself to the calculated and brilliantly underplayed ending.

I just bought my first region-free DVD player, so I can finally get Blakes 7 on DVD!
For those unfamiliar with B7, I highly recommend it, as it shares a lot of similiarities with Firefly, and was even referenced in "The Train Job".

I got the 1st and 2nd seasons, the third is out end of August, and let me tell ya, aside from the suspension of disbelief you need to buy that David Caradine is half Chinese, that show holds up amazingly well. My biggest critique of it when it was broadcast was that the fight scenes weren't as exciting as they could have been. 30 years and uncounted kung fu and karate classes later I see that it has some of the most realistic and beautiful ( I know, sounds like a contradiction- I mean beautiful like intricate yet simple) fight scenes I've ever seen.
And the stories, while peppered with some psuedo-Buddist sayings, really make points that are as relevent today as ever.
However much I love Dark Angel, Kung Fu made me think, a rare thing for any show to do.
