Lots of good choices. I'll echo the Oz recommendation, and add Homicide.

It doesn't generate a lot of discussion on the board, but I would add THE TUDORS to the list of recommended shows.

I only watch Entourage on DVD and I'd say it fares pretty well. Of course it is easy to burn through an entire disc in one sitting. I'd say you could get through a couple of seasons a week.

I pretty much only watch TV on DVD now. I'm canceling cable as soon as my contract allows.

I just started Big Love. Only three episodes in and I am loving it so far. I guess my next series will be The Wire due to the popularity of it being a great show.

The Wire. Anyone who is not answering that has never seen it.

Whatever you do, though, don't waste your time tracking down DIRT.

Re: Cable series... quick question, chime in:

Seasons 2 and 3 of Dexter are good, though not as great as the first. The first 2 seasons of OZ are great, and then it gradually gets worse until the almost unwatchable 5th and 6th seasons. I'd skip Entourage as it's a pretty empty show (Jeremy Piven was the only reason I kept watching it before giving up completely). I tried watching The Wire and barely finished the first episode...not my thing, I guess since I'm definitely in the minority.
