Alias S1/24 S1/The Shield S1

I had not seen these shows. Got addicted to all of them after blind buy!

I do not watch 24 or The Shield on tv. I wait on the DVDs. They are more fun to watch back to back.

I am actually watching Alias this season on ABC though.

24 Season 1, Coupling Seasons 1 & 2, and Shaolin Soccer. The latter two were not only great blind buys, but every one of my friends who watched them immediately bought their own copies.

I blind buy alot these days because I just buy and not rent what I think sounds interesting and that will be worthwhile to me.. that said I was really glad I blind bought Aguirre: The Wrath of God about a month ago, really turned me on to Herzog and quickly purchased Fitzcarraldo, Cobra Verde, and the Werner Herzog Collection. Can safely say he is one of my favorite filmmakers now.
