I second this, but add (sadly) that only S1 is out on DVD. The others may follow if it does well, but it's been out a while now and I've heard no news.
But yeah, awesome. This is the series that made me track down A Midsummer Night's Dream and read it for fun. In high school.
Where else in Disney will you find a hero who witnesses the massacre of his family, then attempts to commit suicide, a non-charicatured villain who manages to redeem himself (but still isn't trustworthy), an evil "princess/witch" who is justified, villains with actual motives (however flawed and irrational), a heroine who carries (and uses) a gun (not a laser blaster either, a genuine nine-mil, bullets and all), and who actually gets shot. (Blood! On screen! In a Disney cartoon!)
Just found out from Amazon.com that the first half of Season 2 of Gargoles will be released December 6, 2005. Looks like I'll have to preorder it, but at least they aren't stop at one season.
I've never been a fan of anime, but Witch Hunter Robin surprised me. I agree, its very nicely done. It had a nice X-Files feel to it. And the artwork was amazing (I don't say that about most of the anime I see). I only saw the first half of the series and I'm still wanting to know how it ends.
Once, just once, I want things to go according to
the gorram plan!

I agree - there are very few tv shows I can watch.
I watch Lost - but I won't recommend it. It just gets frustrating.
I still watch CSI (only the original one) and ER.
That is it for all the drama shows I watch.
I hate sitcoms, they are all trash. However, I have changed my mind on one show, and one show only. I love "My Name is Earl." I can't tell you why, I just love it. It is hilarious. No, wait, that's not right. It is "high-lair-ee-us."
Sorry, but it can only be said in that way.

Red Dwarf. Second that.
The Office (UK version) The stapler in jelly.
Babylon 5. Bruce Boxleitner coming in as a new leading character with an already established cast and just walking away with it. Claudia Christian was good
Farscape
Early Lexx, when Kai was badass, and Xev was pretty. Don't know what happened to Xev Mk 2. Too much collagen and that weird wasting disease that actresses get. (Tell me. Who is the guy who insists that the anorexic look is attractive?)
Someone mentioned Invasion. Is it the UK one with the great gag. (RAF Tornado and shoots up a UFO over the North Sea and exitedly tells base it's heading for Sweden. His navigator in the back seat comes back with the most withering "Norway" ever...) (Or it might have been the other way round.)
The new Doctor Who. That was just nearly perfect except for the lame Slitheen. Nothing like having a real actor on hand if you want your zingers delivered properly. And best Daleks ever.
Grand Designs.
The Shield
Homicide: Life on the Street.
NYPD Blue
I can take or leave CSI:More branches than Starbucks. The dialogue is so clunky. Seriously, I know they're fictional and all, but I can honestly say I've never heard anyone explain anything, let alone everything, in minute and crushing detail to a colleague in the same line of business, before.
King of The Hill. Propane and Propane Accessories.
Malcolm in the Middle. Hal being the Skate Dog? Nothing short of Transcendent.
Pride and Prejudice (Firth / Ehle)
The A-Team
Everyone Loves Raymond. No they bloody don't, matey.
Teachers
Blackadder
The Young Ones
The Beiderbecke Affair.
Tutti Frutti. Robbie Coltrane and Emma Thompson in the same Rock and Roll Band? (The Majestics, if you're on your way out to a Pub Quiz).

[over school dinner, discussing the attempts to frighten them]
Trevor Chaplin: I still think it's a lot of fuss about a dead cat.
Jill Swinburne: *You* wouldn't have liked it.
Trevor Chaplin: I had a noose and I didn't scream.
Jill Swinburne: You big brave macho incredible hulk, you.
Trevor Chaplin: I just got up on the desk and took it down.
[chuckles]
Trevor Chaplin: As my mother used to say, "no noose is good noose".
Jill Swinburne: Gordon Bennett!
Trevor Chaplin: You don't even like cats.
Jill Swinburne: It's not the cat. It's the death aspect.
Trevor Chaplin: I wonder if they killed it specially, or just found it somewhere.
Jill Swinburne: Ooh, that's awful.
Trevor Chaplin: I'm just making a rational analysis of the situation.
Jill Swinburne: I think it's the same sort of dead cat as they use in that.
[Jill looks at Trevor's dinner; Trevor pushes his plate away in revulsion]
Jill Swinburne: I think somebody is trying to frighten us. Successfully.
Trevor Chaplin: Mmm-hmm!
Jill Swinburne: You're frightened?
Trevor Chaplin: Oh yes. I only *pretend* to be brave.
Jill Swinburne: I think I'm might need somebody to give me cuddle tonight.
Trevor Chaplin: Me too.
Jill Swinburne: See Mrs Swinburne in her classroom after school.
Trevor Chaplin: You what? I'm not going in *her* classroom - it's full of dead cats!
Jill Swinburne: I don't find that funny, Trevor.
Trevor Chaplin: No. I don't suppose it was a barrel of laughs for the cat, either.

Buffy is alright, but I think Angel is better. I think the difference is age group. If you started Buffy or are now teenager, maybe undergrad Buffy. If you are over 25 definately Angel. OK others
1) Lost (its like one long movie too)(ABC).
2) Profit (DVD)
3) Sopranos (HBO)
4) Nip Tuck (FX)
5) Supernatural (WB)
last season I only watched one show "Desperate Housewives" but this season there are 5 (though about to be 4 as Invasion is kinda boring). So TV seems better this season to me. I liked the first season of 24 too, but not enough to watch the others. Farscape was too much of a Star Trek meets Buck Rodgers borefest. Actually I dislike most Sci Fi channel shows which is sad cause I love Sci Fi.
Don't know if you'll like these but they are the ones I like.
