Those and the commetaries/extras on Farscape were the only collections I ever listened to and watched all the way through. On Angel, all the cast members saluted the fans and did commentaries and featurettes as did the actors on Farscape. The fans give a show and its leads their devotion and have watched these characters over numerous seasons. Unlike the Gilmore Girls actors, the casts of Angel, Buffy, Firefly, Farscape and other shows know that to the fans, the series is more than just a "job," and they honor their fans by devoting some time to making the DVD extras something special.

Aaron Sorkin and Tommy Schlamme do some interesting ones on The West Wing. They aren't the greatest but there are a couple times that they'll point something out or explain a metaphor that you completely didnt get which is kind of cool. ie: did you know that every episode the art department makes a different figurine to stick in the bottom of CJ's fish bowl as decoration even though we never really see it? It's also funny to hear the producers talk about the actors. Both Whedon and Sorkin love their respective Allisons. Oh and I really like The Office season 2 commentaries On Six Feet Under though they tend to just talk about why their show is better than everyone else's which gets kindof annoying.

Supernatural's is great as well, you can really tell that Jensen and Jared get along well.

Jensen and Jared are SO funny and clearly get on so well, it is just hilarious to listen to! And they do loads of other extras for the fans on the DVDs too, they seem to really appreciate fans of the show. I also love the commentaries on Highlander the Series. Especially from Peter Wingfield, Adrian Paul and Jim Byrnes. They are hilarious! I have to agree with what others have said about the Supernatural commentaries.

They only did commentary on 2 or so eps per season, sadly.

The commentaries they have done together are very funny and insightful. One of the best ones is for Jeremiah Crichton, where they just completely hate on the episode. Hilarious.

Eric Kripke's commentary is always insightful and funny and gives us great history on the show. Jared and Jensen's ommentary on Season 1 DVD's was funny and you could really sense that their friendship was real. They really seemed to love what they were doing. I agree with Shannon that more great commentaries are to come with Season 2. Kim, Jared, and Jensen should be great and I expect a lot of laughs. Kripke and Singer are commentating on the finale and I'm looking forward to great making of stories. Firefly's commentaries are awesome as well. Nathan Fillion is always a joy to listen to and him and Alan Tudyk make up a great combination in 'War Stories'. Supernatural and Firefly definately.
