TV Shows I Need To Watch

[andraste]

I'm finally back at work now I can talk again, and it is completely dead. Expect spam throughout the afternoon and evening! So, mainly for my own benefit, a list of all the TV shows I need to finish/start.



Currently Airing Shows I Need To Catch Up On

House - I mainlined almost all of Season Three while I was off work, and now have just a couple of episodes to go. *clings to Foreman*
The Wire - I'm one disc away from the end of Season One. Is the rest of the show this INCREDIBLY AWESOME?
Battlestar Galactica - I have no idea why I haven't watched anything past the middle of Season Two. Next thing to catch up on, I think.
Spooks - I still lack a source for Season Five, woe.
Lost - Need to watch Season Three. Not sure if I'll get around to that before Season Four starts or not, although I'd like to.
Hustle - I wish the ABC would hurry up and air Season Three/Four.
The 4400 - Have not seen Season Three yet, but it's coming out on DVd here soon so I can rent it.
Scrubs - Have seen the first two seasons on DVD courtesy of apathocles. No doubt she will lend me the rest in time *g*.

Concluded Shows I Need to Finish

American Gothic - yes, selenak, I know it's taken me years to finish. But I have the DVDs now!
Sapphire and Steel - I'm half way through, getting the rest from Quickflix.
Transformers - have not rewatched Season Three since I was a kid, and that's without considering Beast Wars et al.
Alias - except I don't know if I actually want to watch Season Five or not.
Carnivale - except I don't know if I want to watch Season Two or not.
Life on Mars - I have still only seen the first four episodes, as I work Sunday evenings. *sobs quietly until the ABC releases it on DVD*
Jeremiah - I taped this when it aired here a couple of years back, but missed so many episodes that I've only seen the first half. (More or less.)
News Radio - another sitcom apathocles hooked me on. I trust she shall provide me with another fix in due course.
The X-Files - my quest to watch the whole thing in order from the beginning continues. Slowly.
Angel - I feel like such a bad fan for never having seen the whole series.
Batman: The Animated Series - I wish the rest would come out on DVD here already!
Battlestar Galactica 1978 - I've seen the first four or five episodes, and may watch the rest eventually. It's not like it would take me very long.


Anime

Since quixotic_sense is no longer in the country, I watch a lot less anime :-(. Most of this is stuff she introduced me to that I need to finish watching. Or stuff she sent me that I haven't started watching.

Berserk
Fullmetal Alchemist
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Saiyuki
Twelve Kingdoms
Read or Die
Witch Hunter Robin
Monster
Meine Leibe
Gunkatsokou
Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Susuyo

Childhood Friends I Need To Catch Up With

X-Men: The Animated Series - oh, the slashy, slashy nostalgia!
Daria - I have all of this sitting on the hard drive, except for the last few episodes of Season Three.
Press Gang - I've still not watched my Season Five DVDs.

Friends I Haven't Met

The West Wing - The Aunt has this, and the first season is currently sitting on my floor. Must watch and return before she kills me.
Blood Ties - After I've finished reading the books!
Dexter - I am told I would like this, and see no reason to disagree *g*.
Stargate: Atlantis - I have all of this courtesy of wychwood and, er, have only watched the first episode. I promise I'll at least see out the season eventually!
Rome - I have Season One courtesy of quixotic_sense, just didn't get around to it yet.
Deadwood - See above.
X-Men: Evolution - I have watched bits of this, but never in any sort of order. I have the first couple of season on the harddrive, though, so some day ...

If there's something else I should be watching, now would be a good time to tell me. For example, Burn Notice: Y/N?

Hah, on the SGA thing. I'd almost forgotten about that! *g*

With Jeremiah - I have the DVDs, so should you want a complete set of the first season, I may be able to sort you something out? But I'm not sure, it'd take a bit of poking around with my technology.

I promise I'll watch them eventually, I'm just shockingly slow sometimes when it comes to watching TV *g*.

I know programs that can rip DVD files and turn them straight into .avi, but no free ones unfortunately. I did find somewhere online that has the whole second season streaming, so at least I'll be able to see the end!

Naturally, I would be more than happy to just buy the DVDs if they would just release them down here.

Does that mean you'd like me to try? There are programs that rip DVDs for Linux, I know; I used one a year or so back, when I was having trouble with one of my DVDs. I just don't have them installed at the moment, and it wouldn't be a massively speedy process, that's all. So, um - if you'd like me to try, I'll have a go? And do you want the whole season, or only some episodes?
