'We really are just science, arn't we' that quote from Nate Fisher (as he looks at his dead wife's remains) has really stuck with me. This show will seriously make you think twice about life & death

Arrested Development - Complete Seasons 1-3 [DVD]Arrested Development - Complete Seasons 1-3 [DVD]
Buy new: £22.08
Very under-appreciated. One of the decades great cast-lists and some of its finest comedy situations. George Michaels's secret love of his cousin is deserving of special mention.

Sadly this was cancelled after one series. It deserved much better than that.
Monk Seasons 1-6 [DVD]Monk Seasons 1-6 [DVD]
Buy new: £24.97
This always feels like a little guilty pleasure. It comes from the same stable as Columbo & Murder, She Wrote, but it's done very well. Monk & Natalie are one of this decades great partnerships.

Buy new: £74.97 / Used from: £67.06
You certainly can't argue with this show value-for-money. A thilling program which is a little (knowingly) silly. Can be a bit shallow, but its enjoyable none the less.

Why hasn't this got a region 2 release yet?. It shares a lot in common with The Wire and deserves to get much more recognition.

Could I end on another guilty pleasure?. Sand-wiched between tripe teen dramas on E4 lies this warm comedy. Jim Parsons is the star and he is a legend in the making.
