What Series Would You Marathon On Your Deathbed?

^No, that would just make the suffering seem to last longer.

If I can wait till after The Plan comes out, then BSG
Which I plan to marathon from beginning to end once I've seen The Plan anyway

I'm surprised to see so many votes for nuBSG. Wouldn't people want to live happily in their final days? Sheesh...

Seriously. I'd be looking for escapism not a series about the slow death of humanity.

^ If anything it's the opposite; it's about the birth of humanity

Wierd. I started a thread like this back in March.http://trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=84342

My response back than.

...would be the ones you would want to watch.

Your on your death bed. You have only enough time to watch 1 favorite movie and one tv show of your chocie. Which ones would you chose.

Tv show: Lost in Space...I was thinking Star Trek at first but I have seen that many more times as opposed to Lost in Space. Lost in Space was primarily on when I was in elementary school and wasnt on regular airwaves for years after that. Star Trek was on every weekend up until I was in my 20's. Plus Lost in Space is comforting to me. It reminds me of my youth and family.

Movie: I would say Lord of the Rings....Its a modern classic that brought back my love and for fantasy films. It is also one of the few films that at my age still gave me a sense of awe. Something that is rare the older we get.

I would probably now add to it TOS(I changed my mind since I have seen the awful film. It has made me long for TOS more lately), Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Bewitched and the Harry Potter films. I know way to much but I will refuse to die until I have seen them all. I am closer to death now than I was in march. I have changed. In fact I hope I have enough time left to watch everything that I love.

Daria, the 90s MTV cartoon, is the show I'd watch in marathon.

God, I wish they'd bring it out on DVD.

Sorry I'm a bit late to this (I've been on holiday), but the good news is that in 2010 Daria is finally, finally coming out on DVD. Fans have been waiting a long, long time for this. Not sure if all of the music originally played on the show will make it (personally I hope it does) but the day that news emerged was an insanely happy one for me.

But what about "The Subway"??? That was season six.

While "The Subway" is undeniably an amazing part of the series, I'm willing to sacrifice it to avoid the final two seasons. Once Barry Levinson decided to move to a purely ceremonial title, and Paul Attanasio retreated from the entire production, the show went completely off the rails.

I thought Attanasio was done with the series after the pilot? IMDB only credits him as a writer on that episode (I seem to recall one other credit from the second season that carried his name, but I could be mistaken). He's never credited as a producer in any capacity (or even an executive consultant).

EDIT: Yeah, Attanasio wrote one other episode, "See No Evil," for the very short second season. That's it.
