I just finished watching Duckman S3/4 (nice cliffhanger) and need a new show to watch or start watching.
I'm working through Robotech with my boy, and I need a break from Alias.

Here's what's available:
Addams Family (s1-s3)
Ai Yori Aoshi (anime)
Angel (total blind buy)
Batman TAS
Buffy tVS (I watched the first three seasons through Netflix then bought the box, haven't restarted yet)
Dai Guard (anime)
Gantz (anime)
Get Smart (s2-s5)
Godannar (anime)
Koi Kaze (anime) (have watched before via netflix)
Noein (anime)
R.O.D. TV (anime)
Six Feet Under (watched S1 through NF, then bought the box)
Someday's Dreamers (anime)
Twilight Zone (orig.) (finishing S1)
Venture Brothers S2
Walt Disney Treasures: MM in B&W
WDT: On the Front Lines
WDT: Living Color vol 2.

I give slightly more weight to 22 or 30 minute episodes, but am not necessarily averse to 44 or 60 min long eps.

Suggestions? (other than "quit buying DVDs", I've mostly done that.) Comments? Discussion? Hints? Bogglement at my lack of decision making ability?
Thanks in advance.

You've got some good stuff there. I'd pick ROD... the Paper Sisters are a lot of fun and it's a light, enjoyable show that ends up having a nice story.

If you're looking for something more adult, go with Gantz, but I wouldn't recommend watching it with your kids. Lots of violence and sex. I really liked it but the ending didn't wrap things up as well as one would like. (The manga is still going on in Japan, which is why they didn't finalize things.)

Twilight Zone would also be on top of my list. One of the best shows ever.

There really isn't a bad choice in the list. (Though I find it hard to watch a lot of Addams Family episodes in a row. I like the series but prefer small chunks instead of watching 3-4 episodes at time.)

Thanks for the response. I think I will start with ROD. I'm in the mood for something light. Plus that has the advantage of each disk being a separate entry in DVDPro, so I can mark some things off on my Unwatched Movie Pile. This is just me watching, my boy and I have a couple other series we're working on (Snow Fairy Sugar, Robotech, Dungeons and Dragons, Danger Mouse) and I don't need to start another. Plus I don't think he'd really get into it, although the paper powers would probably catch his attention for a bit.

I've watched the first two disks of Addams Family S1, and I'm glad it's not just me. I enjoy the show but I couldn't watch too many eps in a row for some reason.

Also wanted to recommend ROD, but I'd also suggest watching the 3 episode OVA first.
