[quote name='bigdaddy']The creator left the show after season 2, so it might have changed then.
I have only seen 30 minutes of the pilot and it didn't grab me. :lol:
However the first two seasons are done by the guy who American Beauty, which is one of my favorite movies. However I don't have $60 to see if I like it. However it will never be this cheap again.[/QUOTE]
Wondering where you got that info.
Six Feet Under's creator Alan Ball wrote American Beauty, so you may be referring to the same person there. And Ball never left the show. He directed every season's finale and also wrote the series ender.

Really? I thought I read somewhere that he left the show.

DLM has been cheap, $30-$35 for both seasons. How much cheaper do you want it? It's on sale a lot for BOGO for sub $40 several times a year.
Odyssey 5 and Seaquest are sill outrageously priced.

Yeah, I've gotten both sets of DLM for about 21.00 together IIRC. Too bad, because I didn't really get into season 2.
I've always thought the HBO series were overpriced.
I will say that when I watched season 1 on On Demand, the first episode really didn't do much for me. There's a low-rated review on Amazon that says something similar, "the pilot is full of everything and it's a little overkill", and I agree. But pilot episodes, ironically, are usually not good barometers of the rest of the show in many cases.

I have to believe that this is going to come out on Blu-ray eventually, and I think I'm going to wait for that. I've already seen the complete series and watched all the bonus stuff on the DVDs, and it's definitely one of my favorite shows, but even if I did buy this, I don't think I would start watching it again anytime soon. (I'll probably be kicking myself for this decision soon enough.)
FWIW: If you haven't watched "Six Feet Under", you probably should, especially for this price. It's a really, really great show -- funny and, for the most part, well-acted (Michael C. Hall, Richard Jenkins, Jeremy Sisto, Frances Conroy, Freddy Rodriguez... the list goes on...). There are parts about it that I didn't like (e.g., Claire's art school arc, Rachel Griffiths), but overall, it's definitely worth watching, and definitely worth $60.

Fingers crossed this is as good as Dexter, Mad Men, Lost, and BSG.
Didn't have the cash, but I bought it anyway.
siderealshift - it will likely come out on BD but right now Band of Brothers has been the only full show HBO has released. And that's a miniseries, the only other things they have in the pipe for sure are Generation Kill and John Adams(both miniseries) due in June...maybe June. So it could take a while and they will charge a hefty fee for it.

I hope amazon does do this again for a whole week with some other networks. Showtime, comedy central, etc.
[quote name='Kirin Lemon']I'm tempted, but I was greatly indifferent to the show after watching all of the first season.[/quote]
I'm in this camp as well. I usually give a show at least 3 episodes, because I know it takes a bit for everything to fall into place, but when I rented this years ago, it felt like a dark & boring version of Party Of Five.
I tried to like it, I really did.
On the flipside, I can't wait to see this when it lands on 2/17:

That DLM movie will be trash.
They rushed to film the movie about a day after saying they were writing the movie. A few of the main characters aren't in it or have been recast because of that. It was filmed it in about a month the summer of 2007, but not where the show was filmed. That means no family house, Waffle House, or correct cemetery. I think the studio realized how big of a piece of trash it is and sat on it for 18 months.
There is also a DLM Complete Collection. The movie was supposed to be a test to see how well it does if it could return for more movies or to bring the show back. I guess the studio sees that won't be happening. That complete collection is only $48.
