I love watching stand-up too, and I don't have much on DVD either. Not sure why. I guess it's because it's often expensive compared to TV-on-DVD - you can often get a whole season of something for the same price as one 80-minute stand-up show. I do have a couple of Chris Rock's shows on DVD though. Did you see Kill The Messenger on Friday?
Yep, I liked the Louis Theroux ep a lot. Did you see it?
My list was a hard one to do too, although it includes drama characters as well. I basically just went through my collection and noted any favourite characters, then ordered them later.
Yep, when you're messing around with someone, whether that's at home or in a studio, you can often go beyond what you'd planned to as you get into the swing of things and start bantering and egging each other on.
I do think Sachs should go on JR's show. With any luck, that would bring the whole sorry affair to a close.
Sucks about Russell's radio show. I've started to like him a lot lately, watched one of his live shows and it was great.
Interesting. Sounds like a lot of work, and I hate change when it comes to computers, so I don't relish your having to switch to a Macbook. (Not that they're bad or anything, but I'm too used to Windows PCs at this stage..)
If your films work out well, you'll have to upload them so we can all see them! :-D
I could not believe the press this story got. But what really pissed me off is that, after the original airing, only TWO people complained. A week later, The Mail pick it up and suddenly every do-gooder pensioner in the country is whining about their licence fee being spent on smut. Ross and Brand have a mandate to shock and challenge; not to cater to every whim of the middle class "Outraged of Tunbridge Wells" brigade.
I'm not defending their actual action, it was a bad decision made in poor taste. But I mean, jeez, talk about overreaction. And now The Mail and co. have got onto other BBC shows with swearing, demanding there be a widespread removal of filth from our screens or some such rubbish.
I hope Ross gets re-hired with a big-ass payrise, as unlikely as that may be. What amuses me the most is that The Mail, the paper that first ran with the story, are always, always complaining about the politically-correct government not allowing them to insul-- uh, I mean, "describe in traditional terms" minorities, or gays, yet someone insults a virtual nobody with an admitted slut of a granddaughter and they're up in bloody arms.
As you can tell, the whole situation has me quite irate. I'm also pissed Ross' show is off-air for three months!
I didn't get Duckman yet -- I had it preordered, but I changed my mind and decided to go for something else at the time. But my birthday is coming soon, as well as Christmas, and I usually spend any money I get on DVD sets - rest assured, Duckman is one of the first I'll be getting. It's a shame a lot of US shows don't get released on R2 DVD - as you say, multi-region players are easy to buy nowadays so it's not a huge problem, but it's still a little annoying.
I definitely do spend a lot of time watching TV series. Probably too much time, but with DVDs it's so easy to get addicted..!
Thanks for your comments too! It's great to hear from fellow TV fans from around the world :-)

Cool. I'm in. (Wesley Mead is my real name, as you may know if you've ever clicked on my profile)
Good to see all these lists emerging!
By the way, you mis-spelled Philadelphia in the article title. Quick, fix it, before Listology's resident Philadelphians get mad and/or stabby ;-)
Ah, but if I have no opinion of Dweezil Zappa, can that opinion be changed? Such big questions..
I guess Accelerate couldn't stay at #1 forever.. ah well. Have you heard any more Springsteen recently?

Should clone this myself. (Thanks for the namecheck!)
New Screenwipe starts next week. Woo!
Great list!
Definite thumbs-up to almost all of this list, especially Beesly, Gilmore and Rosenberg. Awesomeness, all three.
Me likee!

People should definitely chill the hell out.
