Awhile back a fellow Browncoat on this forum recommended the fantasy series "Roar". I watched it on SciFi channel reruns and enjoyed the show.

I'd give it a strong "B". The acting was good and I really liked the characters. However, the stories lacked a certain something and I kept waiting for the series to really take off. For me it never quite did. I still thought it was "good" but I was hoping for "great".

Well, now that I've damned the poor show by faint praise... Let get to the news.

I was cruising Amazon and saw that the series is to be released on DVD on 19 September 2006.

I hope this is helpful to other fans of the series.

Yes, that does in fact make me a very happy camper! I liked the show quite a bit, and wish they'd had a chance to keep going with it.

I actually spotted that show on Irish TV a while back. I quite liked it, although the writing was just a little cliched at times. Interesting characters though, especially the Centurion (sp?)

Ah yes. Yet another good show cancelled by Fox. Anyone seeing a trend here?

I liked the show. The characters were good, the storyline was good, but like Declan I kept waiting for it to really take off. It never quite seemed to. Not sure what exactly was lacking in the chemistry to give it that push to greatness.

I will pick it up on DVD if the price is right.

Oh, nooooooooooo, BrownCoat1, you've thrown a Fox bomb into the forum.

Much as I dislike Fox for cancelling our beloved Firefly, I found that much of the network television that I watched last year was Fox. The ridiculous but enjoyable, Prison Break; the fascist but thrilling, 24; and the simply superb, House.

And, less we forget that dumbness is not confined to network television, I just found out that Huff was cancelled by Showtime and that there will not be a third season.

Does that leave House as the last middle-aged hero/anti-hero?
