We all have our favorite shows and I know I have mine. I remember my Mom was an avid book reader and she would always be able to finish off one within two to three days. I can do that with a DVD Box set. Think about it. A DVD box set is just like a book. Each episode is a chapter. When Mom would always tell me about all the books she would read, I argued my defense about box sets and she thought after I made a very strong defense. I was right and she liked it. Of course, writing this little column helps too. For our last teamup of the year, I thought we would present our box sets and these guys really have some really interesting picks. Here they go.

Deadwood: Season One
This week’s team-up was tough and I was completely torn between two choices.
Since I could only pick one I want to at least give a little shout out to the runner-up: Smallville, the Complete Series.
My one and only choice, however, has to be Deadwood Season One.
Never have I been so enthralled by a show. Every single episode is integral to the entire plot and leaves the viewer with a racing heart at each conclusion.
