    Oh, you’ve got the dvd’s……..I’ve got the first 3 seasons on vhs:crackup:I never finished watching the series……only made it to the 3rd or maybe a little of the 4th season if there was one. I moved around that time, and worked so much I never bothered getting cable hooked up.

    I can see I need to up my binge game, I don’t think I’ve ever even heard of OZ…..other than The Wizard, and I know we aren’t talking about Dorthy, Kansas and the Tin Man.
    I’m with Turbo, the wire is good…..it’s been awhile, but I would say it is clearly better than Saul!!!
    Another to add to the binge list.

    Shoot I haven’t watched the last two rounds of MotoGP and haven’t caught any football games in a month or so. I need to get my act together.

    Severance? I wasn't recommending it. It's completely different from the stuff youe've been discussing here. No gangsters or cops.

    Must watch TV. Brutal.

    Elevator pitch: Pussy-ass lily white lawyer goes to prison for DUI manslaughter of a little girl on a bicycle. He gets put into a cell with the quintessential ""Bubba"" who tattoos a schwastika on his ass and makes him his prag.

    He gets payback.

    Eventually.

    Edit: Excellent character weaves in and out, two very colorful characters now do commercials for Farmers Insurance and Allstate insurance, oddly enough.

    Many people who have actually done time say it's as real as it gets on TV/movie.

    Edit II: Top review on imdb: Well describes the show:

    On HBO, all the Emmy's for hard core drama go to THE SOPRANOS, and I dont' think that's bad. It is a great show. But Oz is better. It might well be the best thing on television. It doesn't get the press of the Sopranos. And the other people who watch HBO (those who don't like all the violence) whould much rather watch Ferris Beuller's wife in SEX AND THE CITY, which I will NEVER watch. Oz is amazing because almost every charachter in it's sea of people is in some way a terrible human being. But the magic of this show is that these terrible people become understandable. They do terrible things, but they are not all bad. Ryan O'Rielly, for example, is a cold-blooded killer. But when it comes to his brother and doctor Nathan, and more recently the priest he befriended, he is a warm and caring person who's pain you empathize with. Oz takes murderers, rapists, thieves, and even a rich lawyer who ran down a young girl in a drunken stuper, and makes them likeable and forgivable. That's incredible. And this show is incredible. It goes off the air soon for good, and I wish it had gotten the respect it deserved.

    I assumed it was on Netflix, I guess I will need to see if it is on something we pay for?

    I saw Sopranos before it was pulled from whatever service I was watching it on.

    Anyway I suppose I’m glad to have seen it, after all the years it was hyped up. Similar to the way I’m currently hyping up Breaking Bad. Having said that, I would have quit Sopranos, way before the end, if I hadn’t heard so much good stuff about it for 20 years. It was a dullard to me in comparison with BB.

    BCS was good, Sopranos was very good, BB was very good also, but The Andy Griffith Show is still the best show ever.

    Well if you are going to get ridiculous and count that stuff, what about Happy Days, Roots, Gilligan's Island, Brady Bunch, I Spy, Adam-12, Emergency, CHIPS, ADAM-12, I dream of Jeanie, Dick Van Dyke, Lucille Ball, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Hogan's Heroes, Flintstones, Adams Family, Get Smart, Twilight Zone, THE HONEYMOONERS, The Jetsons, Batman, Star Trek?

    Badfinger "Baby Blue"...what a song.

    Breaking Bad...what a series. Freaking 62 episodes over 5 seasons and every single episode was excellent, no filler-fluff episodes.

    If a TV show can hook you in so you care deeply about the characters, job done BB.

    The Wire is also like this, really good. When good shows end, you are left in somewhat of a daze, unsure what to do next. Just need some time to recover before you move on.

    I've been a lawyer for the past 27 years and Better Call Saul is the only lawyer show I ever could watch. Brilliant character development and storyline. Just as good as Breaking Bad imo.

    You should give Boston Legal a try.

    Certainly not high drama, but damn good for some yuks. :D
