Favorite TV redux

I can't believe I forgot to mention these two shows, but there you go...

Star Trek:TNG - I loved watching the reruns of Star Trek when I was younger (I saw most of them on a black-and-white tv set, so I didn't get to appreciate the fantastic lighting and psychedelic colors of the set, but I still loved them), so I eagerly anticipated the new series. I watched the first few eps but soon gave up. I just didn't think the show was up to the high expectations I had for it. However, I came back to it now and then through the rest of that first season and then more through season two. By the time season three was on, I was hooked and watching it every week. An excellent successor to the original, and what a great choice in Patrick Stewart! I was given the dvd sets of seasons four and six as gifts, although some of the best eps were from seasons three and five (and some fun experimental ones in season seven).

Arrested Development - I saw most of the eps from season one when they were first on but, although I enjoyed it immensely, for some reason was not able to see the show every week. When the dvd's were released, I bought season one and loved it, but I hesitated in buying seasons two and three (see previous post). Recently Partner and I were able to watch all of those eps in order on tv, and we loved them. Now, I can't believe I never invested in the dvd's. If I find them cheap, I still might. This is a show that definitely rewards multiple viewings. Can't wait for the movie!
