Holy moly!! He's almost as big as my 40 lb dog!

Yeah, he needs to go on a diet.

He’s a mooch and he gets spoiled too much with cheese and meat and cat treats.
Knocking my rubber chicken or my sloppy habits is within the rules, but you're attacking my character. I would like to think you don't mean that.

WTF? Talking smack about the reboot is not the same thing as insulting individual members.

One episode a day through the summer while I exercise.

Who's with me starting from scratch?

Maybe even start rating and commenting on the episodes. :)

Gonna drive my wife crazy watching the series yet again.

I really wanna watch the HD though.

1080.

Maybe should have done 720.

Took a day to download and only 4 episodes fit on a widget to plug into my Samsung.

I'll try to keep up with you once you catch up to me -- I'm currently at the beginning of season 4, and I'm watching fewer than 5 episodes a week.

Where did you get your HD copy? I'll be curious to know how it compares to the DVDs -- maybe I need to invest in a new copy. The DVDs are great, but some of the transfers are just terrible.

iTunes for $29.99

Unfortunately, I had to buy a program to convert them because stupid Apple uses a file type that won't play anywhere other than Apple.

Didn't know this at the time.

Should have listened to my little voice that $29.99 was too good to be true.

How is the HD copy quality?

On another note I found the complete DVD series on Amazon for $60 bucks, down from $100 a few weeks ago.

BTW I'm on Season 4 ep 2, Luther Gillis; File #521

I love Luther's character. He just riles everyone up. Punches an old lady in the face. Calls a fat lady FATSO.

Stuff it scrunge-o
