You must watch Six Feet Under. IMHO, the best show ever. “Invisible Woman”, the one where a gay man throws an opera to honor his lover, and the final three episodes rank among the most profound hours of tv. “Invisible Woman” (season2, episode 5) is the only tv episode that i can truly say altered my outlook on life (the way in which we perceive “loners”) and i mean that even considering mad men and all those other high brow shows that I love.

So you haven’t seen Buffy? Season one is so childish and cheap…season two finale will make you cry…season three you’ll have the choice of loving two different ladies…season four finale buffy kicks matrix style ass…season five you meet a whiny little brat…season six is awesome! one, the musical…two, wicked willow…three, the finale will make you cry(please watch when hungover)…season seven, too much info packed in one season…season eight, the rest is all on comic books from there on!

I’m about 4 episodes from the end of The Wire, and about 4 episodes into The Sopranos so I’m with you there. I have to watch both with my boyfriend because they have so many characters, I need him to help me keep them straight.

I watched ALL of Buffy (for the first time) last year. While watching I could see why people really loved the show but I didn’t feel like I was getting totally into it (like Firefly). Then I spent most of the finale bawling and I realized that at some point it toally snuck up on me. I thought the ending was PERFECTION when it comes to ending a long-running series and I only wish Joss had the opportunity to treat Firefly to the same treatment.

I’m right there with you TVAddict, except for Buffy, I haven’t seen any of those shows. I checked out the pilot of The Sopranos, but it’s not for me.

Out of the five, I’ve only seen Buffy all the way through and the 6th & 7th season where my favorites. The Soprano’s was okay in the being, but it just became more of the same (ie: who do we kill or beat tonight). My husband watch it all and enjoyed it, so I did caught an episode here and there. Was interested in 6 feet other (maybe I’ll caught up later) and haven’t heard of the other 2.

My list is the same as yours w/ the exception of The Sopranos. I watched it. Was good the first season or two, then it got full of itself.

I disagree with anyone who didn’t like the last two seasons of Buffy. That show was amazing from start to finish, and was better than anything currently on network TV. I rank it in my top 4 all-time shows, along with Arrested Development, Felicity and The Office. It’s that good.

Oh good, I haven’t watched The Wire and never finished Sopranos (stopped after Season 2 and never caught up). Whew. And to think you’re the TV ADDICT too!

but BUFFY???

Granted, I still have yet to catch up with Battlestar Galactica and currently working on Dexter.

You’ve got to watch Six Feet Under, it’s just fantastic. I think that its series finale is one of the best hours of television ever!

I probably should check out The Wire at least. I watched the first few episodes of Six Feet Under but it was too yelly for me. I really tried to watch it, but it started to stress me out with the yelling. The yelling might eventually taper off, but the first few episodes are full of it.

The only thing from Joss I liked was Firefly. I’ve seen some of the other series and — meh. Maybe if I was 16 again and there was a lack of good programming like back in the 1990s I might have sat through it. Combine the meh with running into the crazy fandom over the years and I have no desire to touch it.
