Before we start: Don’t forget that I’ll be putting together an awesome mix tape for you. Just go to the Shiny Lesombre Meme, and leave a comment. I’ll draw a winner today at noon.
Holy Fuck, where did the weekend go? pretty much the only thing I did this weekend is curse at my vanished ubernyms. I totally blame Karen Sugarpants for that, as I was trying to input her ubernym in my database and something went wrong. I didn’t put them back in again.
Oh and I was not at TequilaCon. Boooooo me!
Oh well.
My personnal chauffeur recently told me that I should really watch the first season of True Blood. I believe his exact words were “I can’t believe you’re not watching this, one of the vampires plays the Wii!!” or something like that. Since I’m not one to pass a recommendation about vampires – Hell I even bought the Twilight boxed set on a recommendation – I found a way to put my hands on the first season and watched it over 16 hours on Saturday (not the last one, the previous one).
So with summer coming quickly – hey it was 26 in the house here on Saturday night – and my beloved Montreal Canadiens out of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, it means TV will become pretty boring in a few weeks.
Here’s a list of stuff I have but I have not watched at this point.
1. Deadwood the Complete series. I got this at Christmas and didn’t even open the box set yet. I did watch the first season when it was on TV, but I didn’t see the other 3 seasons.
2. Carnivàle (Season 1 and 2). I was always intrigued by that series, and when I saw the two first seasons on sale for 29$ each, I figured it was a good investment.
3. Battlestar Galactica. Again, this is a case of “watched the first two seasons, and somehow missed the first three episodes of the third season. now I don’t have all the seasons on DVD, but I’m sure they’ll come out with a kick-ass boxed set soon, right?
Here’s a list of stuff I don’t have, and that I never even watched more than a few episodes:
1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Watched the movie, never watched the series except for the odd episode here an there. Ever since Adam gave the complete series, I’ve been meaning to pick it up and watch it.
+++++
What about you? What’s on your “I have to watch these” list when it comes to summer TV?
GI JOE: The Ultimate box-set
How could a single movie have a box set?
I’ve started watching BSG but am only in season 1 so far. I also plan to watch seasons 2 and 3 of Deadwood and season the only of the BBC Life on Mars when it comes out on DVD.
Aaah – I miss Deadwood and Carnivale. Stupid HBO!!
What about Dexter? Are you gonna watch Dexter? I recommend it!
I really don’t have anything I plan to watch, but I’m sure that’ll change…
GI JOE: It’s not the movie, its the cartoon box-set
9.99$…

@THE BROTHER: Cartoons? Meh, why not I guess.
I forgot to mention I also have the complete Albator and Goldorak somewhere. 
@Whall: I believe you’re thinking about G.I. Jane.
@Kapgar: BBC Life on Mars was a kick ass show. Much better than the American version.
@Sybil Law: Yes, I watch Dexter. I already have the first two seasons, and I’m waiting for the third one to come out on DVD. I don’t have HBO at my place, but I recently discovered I could get it for about 13$ / month. Seems like a good investment.
@THE BROTHER: Yes, I got that…
@THE BROTHER: Now wait a minute. 9.99$ instead of 259.99$? How is that possible? It’s a TRAP!
How have we not discussed a mutual love of all things vampire before?
I have the books True Blood is based on if you’re interested…
suze recently blogged but this year is ours…
You must watch Bufffy…it’s sooo good.
My list includes Deadwood and BSG as well. I just started watching the British series “The League of Gentlemen” and it is brilliant! Kind of like a “Kids in the Hall” on acid. Very funny.

This summer I plan on watching ALL seven seasons of Buffy – on my awesome boxed set from Adam.
I also plan on getting the rest of Veronica Mars – another nod to Adam on that one.
And Gillmore Girls because omfsm – I loved that show.

True Blood is outstanding, and you should splurge for the Buffy collection. Start watching it and you will absolutely love it.

since the habs are out, you gonna pull for my penguins?
hello haha narf recently blogged Try
If you’re hesitant to shell out for the whole buffy series, I do own it and you could borrow it one season at a time. I’d let you have the whole thing at once, but I just started watching it again all the way through, and I’m only on season 2…
suze recently blogged say hello and wave goodbye…
The thing is that I loved the US version of Life on Mars so much that this BBC version, by all accounts, must kick some serious ass.

@Suze: I love vampires, I love books, I love meeeting for coffee. This could work.
@B.E. Earl: The League of Gentlemen? What channel is this on?
@SheilaCSR: Yeah, you lucky you.
@Avitable: I’m surprised you would use “outsdanding” do describe True Blood. Do you care to elaborate (via e-mail maybe)? This could be interesting, as I have a few minor annoyances with the series. I wonder if watching the whole thing in a day might be the cause.
@Hello Haha Narf: Well, my second love is martin Brodeur. I’ll pull for your Pens as long as they don’t play the Devils…
@Suze: You’re just looking for an excuse to meet for coffee, aren’t you?
@Kapgar: The ending of the US version was… weak.
@Karen Sugarpants: nym. Ubernym. It’s the automatic mouseover that used to happen on bloggers names.
Good lord man, go watch BSG forthwith. Go on, I’ll wait…
Kevin Spencer recently blogged Move Complete
@Kevin Spencer: You might have to wait a little while.
I would like to go back and watch the entire X-Files series. Now that I’ve had several years as a break.
