Holy Cow, Ferro!!

Mick

I only own one TV show DVD

Freeks & Geeks The Complete Series

Band of Brothers... TV at its best.

Band Of Brothers
The Sapranos seasons 1-3
OZ seasons 1-3
The Munsters season 1

NGE, I never saw the first season or two of OZ how good are they compared to the newer seasons?

Simpsons seasons 1-3. One of these days I'm gonna get around to buying the fourth season and I'll hopefully see that fifth one around Christmas time. I still have a bunch of commentaries and other special feature I want to get through on the third season.

I also have The West Wing Complete First Season and my brother (who I trade of with frequentely) has the second season and the complete Sports Night collection. I'm a real fan of Aaron Sorkin's writing, though I doubt I'll bother with West Wing's Third Season which will be coming out. As with all good TV writing, it eventually loses the touch.

That's really all. There are so many I want to get, but many (such as the Star Trek seasons) are ridiculously expensive and there already a bunch of actual films I want to get.

Sopranos season 1
Sopranos season 2
Sopranos season 3
Angel season 1
Angel season 2
Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 1
Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 2
Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 3
The original Transformers season 1
The original transformers season 2 parts 1 & 2
The original transformers season 3 parts 1 & 2/season 4
BattleStar Galactica-the complete epic series
Knight Rider season 1
Alias season 1
Alias season 2
Dallas seasons 1 & 2
The Shield season 1
The shield season 2

Yeah, I've been collecting DVD's since they came out and have assembled over 400 now. I'm kinda pissed because I've liked movies my whole life and I have just as many VHS. I really would like to get Band of Brothers and the rest of the CSI Series.

Doctor Ferro

Band of Brothers
The Sopranos seasons 1-4
The Shield season 1
24 seasons 1-2
The Office seasons 1-2
Phoenix Nights seasons 1-2
Little Britain season 1
That peter Kay Thing season 1
Millenium season 1
Six Feet Under seasons 1-2

Not many to report, but here goes:

Phoenix Nights Season 1 and 2
Spooks Season 1 (known as MI5 in the States, I'd highly recommend it)
Buffy Season 1
Twin Peaks Season 1 (itching for Season 2!)

Well I've never seen the new ones so I cant say. I got 1-3 without ever having seen them. When season 3 came out Best Buy had a big sale. If you got all of them it basicly worked out to getting season 3 for 6 bucks. A friend of mine said it was a great show so I got them. I know that season 4 is coming to DVD in January and it's twice the size of the earlier sets, 16 hours compared to 8 for seasons 1-3.

Wiseguy : seasons 1 - 3
24 : season 1 & 2
Sopranos : seasons 1 - 4
Oz : season 1

And been searching high and low for a season set of The Gangster Chronicles for over 3 years now, but just can't seem to find it. Probably never made. I am also waiting for the U.S. release of the Mini Series "Rich Man Poor Man." I know that it is available over in The UK and Europe, but it has not been released in the USA yet.

Wiseguy is a fantastic show that was way ahead of it's time. I beieve that it aired in the early 90's. It was a weekely series about an undercover OCB agent who infiltrates different illegal activities and scenarios. The first season this agent, Vinnie Teranova ( played by Ken Wahl ), infiltrates a Mob family, The Steelgraves, ( brothers played by Ray Sharkey and Gianni Russo ) and gets in real deep. ( I know it sounds like a Donnie Brasco, but it's nothing like it at all ). The situations that this agent gets into are real cliffhangers and they make you wonder every episode how the hell he is going to get out of them! What really makes this Steelgrave season interesting is that this agent, while staying legitimate, builds a close bond and deep compassion for one of the Steelgrave brothers. If you like mob movies and undercover stuff, this first set with the Steelgraves is a must. The Second season set is a great storyline also, where agent Terranova infiltrates the world of a crazy, eccentric business man who is involved in some sick illegal activites and beyond, named Mel Profitt who was played by an unkown actor at that time named Kevin Spacey. Do yourself a favor and at least buy the first season Steelgrave Episodes set, then take it from there.

Here is an online review about this show :


"One TV series that to this day enjoys the benefits of a classic because of good scripts, a tremendous cast and just the right timing is WISEGUY."

"It has all the characteristics that made The Godfather famous and Goodfellas Scorsese's best picture - and the decision by creator Stephen J Cannel to break the rules of conventional TV and present the show in the form of several arch-type episodes instead of "one-hour conclusion" shows was the key to its success among fans."

Don Cardi

Grazie Don Cardi, I'll have to look into this. Also a show with an early Kevin Spacey, how fun!

Actually there were quite a few stars that made appearances throughout the seasons. Annette Benning, Kevin Spacey, Jerry Lewis, Stanley Tucci, Anthony Denison, Chazz Palminteri & Ron Silver to name a few.


Don Cardi

Wiseguy Season 1 (Part I and II, 8 discs) is in my NetFlix queue, as well as Wiseguy: Prey for the City (4 discs). Is the latter Season 2 or something?

I never saw the series....

I've only got The Shield, The Complete First Season, and The Shield, The Complete Second Season.

- Friends seasons 1, 4 and 7
- Sex and the City seasons 1 to 5
- Fawlty Towers 1 and 2
- The Office 1 and 2
- Phoenix Nights 1 and 2
- Only Fools and Horses series 1 to 5, plus several of the xmas specials
- He-Man 1 and 2
- Dogtanian and the 3 Muskerhounds 1 and 2

I can't wait for Seinfeld. The Gift set looks so cool! Just so everyone knows, if you order it from BestBuy.com for about $75 bucks, you get a free coupon for $25 on your next buy. I did this. I plan on getting a new Bogart movie with that coupon. If you get only season 1 and 2 or season 3, then you get a $10 dollar coupon instead. But the gift set is worth it.

Doctor Ferro

DonFerro, I thought the Seinfeld gift set was going for $120. I'm planning on getting these 2 DVD's (just the DVD's & not the entire set), but I might have to order it over the internet b/c I KNOW they'll be sold out on day 1, plus I don't know if they're gonna offer a raincheck for it.

Just check Bestbuy.com. Enjoy.

Doc

ive only got a couple of friends boxsets- sad arn't i

Don Cardi -- can you clarify please?

Hey Geoff, I read your comments on dvd.ign about studios double-dipping and all I gotta say is, THANK YOU! Stick it to the man! I hear that the 2nd round of Kill Bill's will be coming out next August (The Director's Cuts) and I heard awhile ago, that they Special Editions will be out by next Christmas. I'll probably buy the Special Editions & not the Director's Cut.

Don Cardi -- can you clarify please? [/b][/quote]Sorry Don Malta, I just got back into this thread. Ok.
One Tine I gonna tell you, one Tine! Ok? Ok.


The first disc set is titled Sonny Steelgrave and The Mob Season 1 / Part 1. why they titled it this, I'll never know. There are 4 discs in this set. Disc 1 - Disc 3 cover the first season story of Sonny Steelgrave, played by Ray Sharkey. Disc 4 features two bonus episodes that were played as individual episodes later on in the series. But this set, even though being titled Season 1 part 1 contains the comlete season 1 Sonny Steelgrave storyline. There is no part 2, so don;t pay attention to the DVD title on the box.

Dey had dere heads up dere culos when they named this first set!

The second DVD wiseguy set is titled MEL PROFFITT. I believe that this was the second season and featured the story of the Mel Profitt Organization, played brilliantly by an unknown at the time named Kevin Spacey! Discs 1 - 3 cover the ENTIRE MEl Profitt Storyline! Disc 4 in this set, like disc 4 in the 1st set, has bonus episodes. The bonus episode that is included in this set is a really good one. It feature a story with DON AIUPO. He was a mafia Don who gets involved with Vinny's family. Well you just gotta see it to understand. Vinny Terranova is the Main Character played by Ken Wahl who is know as The Wiseguy.

The Third DVD set, PREY FOR THE CITY, features 2 storylines. Disc 1 : White Supremecy where Terranova infiltrates a white supremest organization. Disc 2 : Garment Trade , This is a fantastic story. Terranova breaks his leg, ( Ken
Whal broke it in real life so could not film for a while )so a new agent takes over for him,that agent being played by Anthony Denison, another guy who went on to later become somewhat of a famous character actor.
Denison infiltrates the rag trade industry
aka the garment district. Jerry Lewis plays the head of a garment manufacturing company, his son played by Ron Silver. The gangster who is shaking Lewis's business down is played by Stanley Tucci! I believe that Chazz Palmenteri has a role in these episodes. These episodes are really great! Appearances and parts played by many unknown actors and actresses at the time who later turned out to be stars and semi stars. Disc 3 : Bonus Episodes, Disc 4 : Bonus Episodes.

Don Malta, I highly reccommend that you buy these three Wiseguy sets, as they are a must for anyone who is into mob stories, infiltration, undercover work, etc.


I don't know if a set # 4 has been released yet, as I remember another season where Ken Wahl returns and infiltrates the Music Business. Tim Curry plays the Music Industry Mogul, and Patti DeAnberville the main woman.

But by far the best storyline is the first Set featuring Sonny Steelgrave and The Mob.

Mel Profitt is a great one too, a wacky character who is into some weird shit, but a great acting job by Spacey.

Chu understand it now chico? Have I clarified it for chu mon?

Don Cardi

Eh! Fock-chu, mang! Who put dis ting together -- ME, that's who!

(Thanks, buddy! )

I see "Wiseguy: Between The Mob & A Hard Place" is slated for a Jan 11th release.

YESSS! That's the storyline with Chazz! I think that Michael Chikilis is in that series also. I just can't remember what exactly that storyline was about. Hmmm.


Don Cardi

Ok, this is the one where there is a Mob war between Don Aiupo & another mob boss. This was pretty decent if I remember correctly. The Music Business storyline must have been the year after this story.
