Handy Rule of Thumb: If the entire series is available as a
box set from the A&E TV catalog, it's a cult show.
Rethinking ...
Actually,
if it's available as a box set, it's probably a cult show.
I should know ...
I have UFO, Twin Peaks (Season 1), The Prisoner, Wiseguy (Season 1), Kung Fu (Season 1), Oz (Seasons 1-3).
I have Beauty & the Beast, Xena, and Space: 1999 on VHS.
I saw that Northern Exposure (Season 1) just came out on DVD.
And I really need that Space:1999 DVD set that's on the A&E Website.
What's that you're mumbling? I need a life?
I retreat into television as a means of dealing with the stress of dealing with other people's lives.
