 For U.S. Fans of Spaced. August 16, 2007
If you have never seen "Spaced", you are missing a very smart and very very funny show that improves on classics like "Clerks".
The answer to the question of WHY the series has yet to be released in the States is because of music rights. The show uses a lot of original music (it has a U.K. Soundtrack) and the American music rights have yet to be obtained.
When, oh WHEN?!!? August 13, 2007
This show is great! If you dug Shaun and Fuzz, you'll like this for sure. I've seen all the episodes thanks to the internet, but I want to be able to watch them on a normal-size TV with my friends...these guys (Pegg, Frost, et al) obviously can sell units here in the States. I'm DYING to give someone my money for this - what's the hold up?
You'll love Tim, Daisy, Mike, Brian, Twist and Marsha like friends August 3, 2007

Great U.K. series (two seasons) by Simon Pegg & Edgar Wright, made before SHAUN OF THE DEAD and HOT FUZZ. I love "SPACED" even more than both of the movies (which are great), maybe because of co-creator Jessica Hynes' added female point of view? Whatever the magic ingredient it is, it makes for very relateable and endearing characters. That same sense of humor evident in the movies is very much on display here, but because this is a series you get many more hours to know these characters. And you'll enjoy every minute. Pegg's Tim Bisley is a Sci-Fi lovin' pushing-thirty nerd, but there isn't an ounce of parody, he's a real person. Jessica's Daisy Steiner too is a terrific character devoid of the typical sitcom shortcuts. Around these two is a stellar supporting cast inclduing Nick Frost's military-obsessed Mike, Mark Heap's struggling artist Brian, Katy Carmichael's oblivious Twist and the marvelous Julia Deakin as the alcoholic landlady Marsha. Each episode is a gem, and it adds up to a group of people you don't want to stop knowing. The documentary included in the three-disc set, "Skip to the End", is very comprehensive as both a behind-the-scenes and a history of the show (as well as providing a nice little CODA as to what may have happened to Tim & Daisy!). It's astounding that as well as SHAUN and HOT FUZZ did in the States that "SPACED" is not yet available in America. Seek it out.

If you really want this DVD set (and you should, because it's so amazingly awesome it hurts), order it from amazon.co.uk. The final cost (including overseas shipping & handling) isn't that much. Seriously. Moreover, it arrived in the mail after only a week, which isn't too shabby, all things considered. If you think it won't play in your DVD player, think again. Most DVD players can be set to be region-free. You've just got to do a little online investigating to figure out how to change the settings on yours (it usually involves a "secret" menu and you can get the code to access this menu online). So, order it from overseas, make your player region-free and sit back and enjoy the nonstop giggles!
Cheers!
