Hubby and I just bought the DVDs for the first season of Stargate (StarGate SG1) and it is GOOD!! It wobbles a bit on McGuyver-esque type stuff in the first few episodes, but all the characters quickly mature...and the actor who plays Daniel (the archaeologist, who was played by James Spader in the movies) has Spader down to a T! I was really impressed with how the actor took on some of the odder characteristics of Spader...whether Spader himself deliberately inserted thoser characteristics or if that was just natural to him, I dont know, but I was impressed!

I will ahve to put down my M&C books long enough to finish watching the shows...

Have only one DVD collection of Red Dwarf shows, though. Man I miss that show.

Red Dwarf was a funny show :) They still show it sometimes in syndication around here, usually on public TV. In high school my friends and I produced a cable-access TV show inspired by Red Dwarf where we spoofed a bunch of different SF and other movies. I played an evil rapping Kung Fu space pirate. After a climactic fight scene recreating the showdown between Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee in Return of the Dragon (Bruce being played by a Chinese guy from our high school, with our voices being dubbed in later along with many strange sound effects), I was mysteriously killed by a laser beam from an orbiting space ship, in order to cut out some scenes that didn't fit into the final editing continuity.
