Best Show I Have Ever Seen?

Yes, I think this is my favorite show of all time...

I've enjoyed every episode. I've seen every episode multiple times. I enjoy repeating parts of episodes. My mom recorded every episode while I was away at college...which I thoroughly devoured each school break when I got home.

I searched high and wide for the series when it came on DVD...and prize that collection for its value. It's outstanding.

Great story telling. Wonderful music. Great Acting (especially Polley, Burroughs, Bennett, and especially Mahonen as "Gus"). It was superb from start to finish...and REALLY took off as a super series after the star (Polley) left allowing the other characters in the story universe to show incredible depth.

The drawback is that the series became more and more "sanitized" as it went on. Seasons 1-2 were much more real and authentic than the other seasons comparably.

The Best in book with just a series or two behind it.
