7. Firefly - This may be one of the most under-appreciated shows of all time. When the show aired on TV the episodes were run out of order, and the show was barely promoted. Granted, the western set in space was probably a huge marketing headache. But we can’t put all the blame on the studio. Though they may not admit it now, many of the show's biggest fans (who also decided to check out the DVD) were reluctant to give the show a chance at first because it drew Joss Whedon’s attention away from the ultra-popular Buffy The Vampire Slayer. This may be the most discovered show on DVD, because it’s the DVD sales that helped get the green light for the big screen spin-off, Serenity. While I don’t think Firefly is the most intelligent or best show I’ve ever seen, it was still very good, and a lot of fun, and should have been given more of a chance to succeed.
8. Lost
9. Tru Calling – I acquired this DVD through some kind of online ordering/returning snafu suffered by a family member. I’m not sure what happened, but the end result was they had two copies of Season One and they gave one to me. It’s no surprise to me that this show was cancelled prematurely, because it took me about six or seven episodes to get into it. I could barely give it a chance on DVD, so it’s no surprise viewers stopped tuning in every week. That being said, the show took off about halfway through the first season, and I thought it was one of the best shows I had seen in a long time. Unfortunately a lack of viewers caused the second season to be cancelled after only six episodes and left all the viewers on a cliffhanger. The show left me wondering – was Jason Priestley always this good? A rerun of Beverly Hills 90210 told me the answer was no.
10. Da Ali G Show

| rt | 13.07.06 - 13:01 | | I've seen Firefly. It is not good. I'll tell you something. Mal was Angel, but less good looking. Inara was Cordelia, Kaylee was Willow/Fred, Simon was Xander/Wesley, and the old stereotypical sleezebag was Jayne/Spike, who I will affectionately call the Iago of Josspeare. |
