This is the show that makes me wish I had cable TV, but I just simply cannot bring myself to pay for television. I will be getting the DVDs for sure.

jon boy 09.03.2006 01:05 PM

i loved it! have a lot fo them on dvd and tape. i remeber seeing the first episode and was hooked. much better than prison break.

jon boy 09.03.2006 01:09 PM

did you ever see burried? it was on channel 4 a few years back. that was exellent.

porkmarras 09.03.2006 01:14 PM

I've seen only seen a few episodes of that and it was good.I'm a huge fan of prison dramas and OZ really beats them all.It's on par with The Sopranos in terms of acting and that is saying something.

When it was originally aired I watched it nearly every week for maybe the first two seasons. It got sort of stupid (like a lot of HBO series) a few seasons in. From what I remember it was good.

jon boy 09.03.2006 01:38 PM

there were 6 series. it got crazy towards the end but still intensly wachable. poor old beecher.

take a virtual tour of em city! haha

Beecher was the one who ran over the old lady after binge drinking?

Пятхъдесят Шест 09.03.2006 01:47 PM

It also costs a fortune for HBO series on DVD.

Phlegmscope 09.03.2006 02:26 PM

It's one of those series I'd want on dvd.
Perhaps the best tv -series ever along with six feet under.

Towards the end the quality decreased slightly though, as more and more people just died.

Toilet & Bowels 09.03.2006 02:27 PM

OZ was awesome until a certain main character got killed and then it just became totally ridiculous. i didn't know you could get it on dvd in this country though.

porkmarras 09.03.2006 02:32 PM

The guy who sold me the series shipped from London.They are copies though,mind.That i know shops don't have it in the uk but you can easily buy it on the internet.

Toilet & Bowels 09.03.2006 02:34 PM

how much did it cost, if you don't mind me asking?

porkmarras 09.03.2006 02:37 PM

A tenner for each series as they are copies.

LifeDistortion 09.03.2006 02:39 PM

I have HBO but I've never seen "Oz", think it was just ending as I subscribed to it, not sure. Also there is now another cop drama currently on HBO that is supposed to really great but does not get as much print as "The Sopranos" or "Big Love", or "Deadwood" and that's "The Wire".

porkmarras 09.03.2006 02:40 PM

The second series of Nighty Night i bought on ebay for £3 when it wasnt even out yet.I do wonder if it is legal for them to sell copies on ebay?There seem to be a few people who do that.

porkmarras 09.03.2006 02:42 PM

This is superb too:
 

porkmarras 09.03.2006 02:43 PM

And let's not forget this,please:

Norma J 09.03.2006 06:50 PM

Whats the 'OZ' connection with the first show? It's not an American series posing as Australian, is it? Tell me about it!

Norma J 09.03.2006 06:52 PM

Prisoner was good. That chick Prisoner and on the cover of that DVD was in a Silverchair filmclip.

because the cell block in the show was called Emerald City

Пятхъдесят Шест 09.03.2006 08:38 PM

Wasn't the prison named after Oswald something or another too?

Toilet & Bowels 09.03.2006 10:17 PM

oswald state penitentiary, or something?

Пятхъдесят Шест 09.03.2006 10:24 PM

Yes, I think that is it. Fictional, I assume. Set in New Jersey I think though.

krastian 09.03.2006 11:58 PM

Oz was a great show.....I don't think I've seen a rerun on HBO in a long time.

Norma J 09.04.2006 02:53 AM

If you want top Aussie shows then check out: Kath and Kym, Seachange, John Safran http://www.johnsafran.com . To name a few.

wax 09.04.2006 03:00 AM

amazing series.
series 6 was a bit shit though. its like the writer was confused and rushed and staying up all night on cheap speed and vodka trying to tie up loose ends that he'd developed for years over a few episodes.
after adabisi dies it wasnt the same. adabisi was hilarious, doing that dance with his headphones on while staring at someone with his hand down his pants. fantastic.

Kath and Kym i've become aqauinted with in the past year and it's ok but not all that.

Norma J 09.04.2006 03:39 AM

You'd have to understand the humour to find it hilarous. Each there own.

porkmarras 09.04.2006 03:44 AM

It's the humor that i've found a bit lacking.Have you ever watched Muriel's Wedding?

Norma J 09.04.2006 04:41 AM

You missed the humour. It's an Australian thing. It's not the jokes that make them funny. It's their mannerisms etc.

And yes, of course I have seen Muriels Wedding. Why do you ask?

jon boy 09.04.2006 04:43 AM

the dvd'd in england cost about £30 on ebay and amazon.

porkmarras 09.04.2006 04:46 AM

Get good copies for a quick fix and then eventually go for the real deal.

fishmonkey 09.04.2006 04:50 AM

yeah, love it, right good.

It is a good. Have you seen the film Chopper?

Porkmarras, go to this site www.bluebottlekiss.com and download the song "Boredom You're Breaking My Heart". And tell me what you think. I'd like to know.

porkmarras 09.04.2006 05:13 AM

Norma J 09.04.2006 05:15 AM
