3 box sets, 15 episodes in all...

1. Sharpe's Rifles Collection
2. Sharpe's Swords Collection
3. Sharpe's Revenge Collection

I don't think of it as "perv" per say...

But I have some needs. Needs that Richard Sharpe and Malcolm Reynolds can satisfy. Handily.

Together. One at a Time. Whatever. George Clooney could wait nearby, as a pinch-hitter.

Okay. Pull yourself together, girl.

Husband will be glad I had this conversation. I'm gonna go home and work out my newly imagined Sharpe/Reynolds fantasies on him.

"Husband & I just finished Sharpe's box set 1 last night and will probably break into set 2 tonight. Just placed an order from Amazon for box 3 ($71.95!)..."

NETFLIX ! Save great heaping piles of cashy money.

While Netflix has its place, I'm more of "need to own" kindof gal. Cashy goodness is, well, good...but what if insomnia strikes (as it will) and I am without the Sharpe series? Or Firefly? Or Stargate? Or Angel? Or BtVS?

Yes, it's true. I work not to feed my family, but to feed my insatiable DVD shelf.

I agree

While I am a Netflix girl. I want me all. I want to know that ALL the Sharpe series ! dvd's are in reach.

When I had to wait between the Roswell DVD's it about killed me and #1 and #2. Of Course, each time a new boxset came out we got to watch the previous ones in a Roswellpalooza. To ensure that we remembered all that had gone before you see

I've started watching this on BBC America this past week, Agatsu. Sharpe is like the 1800s version of Captain Kirk, he get's a new gal every episode (sometimes even when his wife was alive), and sometimes the new girl dies. Some of them live. Some of them.

Lots of fun. The funnest being that they never show them loading their weapons, only discharging. Guess they figured reloading a muzzle loader weren't cinematic enough.

Hope you can find it. Pure guilty pleasure.

How long has that series been out? I never heard of it, and judging by the sheer amount of episodes/TV movies, it's been around for a while. Was it pre-LotR?
Sounds like fun, although that cheating-on-his-wife thing makes him sort of a hwoon duhn in my eyes.
Hm, I just checked amazon.de, and it looks like there's lots of books as well. And they have the first boxed set as a UK import - for about $US 170. That's a might expensive to just give it a try.

The Serenity Summer Campaign is on, baby - prepare to kick some serious pigu!

The Sharpe series ran in 1993. Sean Bean was a young cub then. Born in 1959, that would have made him 34, then.

Nathan just turned 35, BTW.

The complete set in the U.S. is $314. Includes thirteen, 2 hour episodes.

I'm going the NetFlix route meself. Not enough coin.

So many gorgeous men to watch and so little time.

One review says that several episodes had been aired really badly dubbed on German TV, under the title "Die Scharfschützen" ("The Sharpshooters". God, I hate German titles). It also says it's historically accurate, which is always shiny.
I checked the other reviews by that guy, because he's in the Top 500 review rankings, and he seems to be quite interested in the American civil war and recommends "The Killer Angels" in one of the reviews. Unfortunately, you apparently can't CONTACT people on Amazon, because I wanted to recommend Firefly to him.

34 is a "young cub"? Shiny! And there I was starting to feel old.
