Title: Operation: Recommend Phant TV shows
Post by: Phantasmatron on February 27, 2011, 07:02:47 PM: So I've decided I want to get into a TV show that I can buy on DVD so I can watch an episode or two whenever I'm bored. But I don't really know what I should get.

My favorite show is Supernatural, which I love because of its awesome characters, its humor and its intricate mythology that gave it kind of an epic scope. Although I haven't seen any of the last season (waiting for the DVD). I've liked Burn Notice, Dexter, Leverage, Dollhouse, Lost (on and off) and a few others, but I haven't found any TV series that I've really loved as much as Supernatural.

I don't know if that's much help as far as my preferences go, but what do you guys think? What shows should I be looking into buying?
