The BBC’s decision to mount the 2008 miniseries version of Sense & Sensibility was a very silly thing, as the miniseries comes only a dozen years after Ang Lee and Emma Thompson’s hugely entertaining Oscar-winning movie version starring Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman. The miniseries is only 45 minutes longer than the movie and inferior in all other ways. Not horrible (it is after all based on Jane Austen’s “Sense and Sensibility”), but comparatively sluggish and clumsy and entirely unnecessary if you’re asking me.
Speaking of Britishers, Fortysomething: The Complete Series is a six-episode British sitcom from 2003 and the last TV show Hugh Laurie made before “House” made him a household name here in the states. Laurie stars as a piano-playing doctor. His partner is played by the Scottish guy who wanted to bone a mermaid in “Local Hero.” His wife is played by Anna Chancellor, who went on to regular roles on “Suburban Shootout” and “Spooks.”

You say you love those wacky doctors on “Scrubs” but refuse to pay more than $20 per season to own the series? Then you need to click here
CHEAPEST TREK EVER!!!!
EVERY season of
The Original Series
The Next Generation
Deep Space Nine
Voyager and
Enterprise:
All of these were selling at north of $100 once upon a time and I expect most, if not all, of these 28 season-sets will return to $62.99 in the near future.
(Note that these new sets are actually priced lower than the second-hand sets!)
The “Trek” season sets run from 24 to 30 episodes per season. So compare these prices to those $17.99 two-episode discs Paramount was issuing not so long ago!!
Further, the “Star Trek” deals are components of a much larger Amazon sci-fi sale going on right now. You can get a whole season of “Dead Zone” for just $11.99!! Some more of the pricing:
