1. Me!
I started watching it after a friend lent me the first season DVD. I love it. I've been watching it on Sci Fi. Who can resist Mandy Patinkin?

2. That's what pulled me in initially
I love MP. But Ellen Muth is wonderful! And I find the whole concept really interesting.

5. I Nexflexed the whole thing, but watch the
reruns on Sci Fi. I love it. It was one of the few "different" shows on. I suggest that everyone rents the "uncut" version.

7. Is 'uncut' different
than what airs on Sci Fi?

Just wondering.

8. It was a Showtime series.
so the language is sometimes stronger, but not unnecessarily so. Also they cut for time reasons, but sometimes it's the cut senses that are the best.

11. I got both seasons on DVD for Christmas!
Edited on Wed Oct-04-06 11:17 AM by cmt928
I loved it - my entire family watched it even though the kids live far away! Even my 13 yo (now 15 yo)grandson loved it.

All the characters were unique and actors were great in the roles. My husband and grandson liked Reggie (beautiful girl, interesting part) - I liked Roxy - "you don't know me".

Some of the best concepts and writing I've seen in years. And each episode got better, sometimes sad & touching, sometimes funny & risque, so much about life/death!

13. I picked up the first season DVD a few months back
I watched the pilot & really liked it, although I'd just finished watching (the f-ing awesome) Wonderfalls & the two seemed a bit too similar to watch back to back. Very much looking forward to getting into it though.
