BBC Series, Spaced on DVD. Anyone else watched this?

I'm lovin' it. I know I'm a bit late perhaps as it's been around on bootlegs for a bit, but I just picked up the dvd set and it's been alot of fun. I was curious as to what you guys thought. So many inside geek jokes and references !

A little rough around the edges but a shitload of fun. It's fun to see some of the early jokes seen here reappear in some of their movies.

I think it's released under the BBC banner in America.

Anyway, Spaced is the bee's knees.

I was pretty impressed by the amount of entertainment they squeezed out of a tiny budget.
Wish there was more of that type of thinking on american television.

I love spaced, just recently in austin they showed the entire series and then had a talk back with the show's creators...wish I could've gone. I know this, I've gotta go buy the american dvds.

If you like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, you'll love this. This is the TV series Simon Pegg and Co. did before those flicks.

I've had this set for years.
It's terrific.

Recently the main crew toured the states to promote the DVD set.

There was an American version being made but I have a feeling it was canned recently.
