The Box Set Thread

[gallsman]

With the advent of the box-set (not to mention high speed downloading) it is now possible to watch entire shows in a matter of weeks. I was a massive fan of the Sopranos and was recommended The Wire, which was the first show where I would watch two or three episodes a night. I'm currently steadily making my way through Deadwood, which I find fantastic. So, has anyone any recommendations for what should be next on the list?

So far I've been told to see:

Fringe
Dexter

[Gabriel_Hurl]

Oz
Band of Brothers
Generation Kill

[5 Sams]

The Office
Fawlty Towers
Only Fools

[Agnes Dipesto]

24

[The Real Laoislad]

Heroes
Prison Break
Band of Brothers (best TV show ever)

[Archie Mitchell]

The Wire
Entourage
The Office US
Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Father Ted
Breaking Bad
Peep Show

Currently watching Oz and Mad Men. Also meaning to watch Curb Your Enthusiam and possibly The Soprano's and Band of Brothers as i've heard so much about them.

Got the box set of The Wire yesterday. Will hopefully get to watch some of series 1 over the weekend. I can now add it to my collection, which consists of the box set of Porridge on video.
I don't really watch much TV, though I have been meaning to get the box set of Oz.

Saw the boxset for the Wire for £70 in HMV today. Is Band Of Brothers as good as they say, have never seen any of it before.

Yes it's as good as they say.

(Nearly as good as the West Wing, Frasier and Criminal minds)

Hard to watch in places though.
