Title: Spaced
Post by: samir on July 22, 2008, 07:56:00 AM: My favourite TV show of all time is finally out today in the United States of America!
I'm glad, because I can finally retire my region 2 DVDs which are absolutely battered from being played and lent out over the last six years.
Even if you hate some of the commentators on there (and we all do), that's no reason not to buy this box set and play it repeatedly. Besides, the Wizard of Oswalt makes up for the bilge, right?

I mean it!

but I think it's OK so far. Perhaps OK+.

For anybody who has BBC America and hasn't seen the show yet, it's airing every night for the next two weeks at 3:00AM and 3:30AM EST.

Even though I hate and love some of the people doing commentaries, I still feel like I need to know what dumb things Diablo Cody, Tarantino, and Kevin Smith have to say.

The doc they did for the DVD set ties up the series perfectly.

(I bought it strictly because of Simon, but I really thought from the box that it was something a sitcom about space)

This is pretty much what I'm expecting based on their films.

Post by: courtney on August 02, 2008, 01:40:32 AM: A friend gave me some computer file versions of the whole series a couple of years ago and I think my boyfriend and I watched the whole thing in, like, 3 multi-multi-hour blocks. Couldn't stop watching it and were sad when it ended.

My legit DVDs are in the mail on it's way to me as we speak!

Stoked.

Definitely one of the best shows ever, in my opinion.
