   We knew we'd like it from about 5 episodes we managed to catch when it was   
   on TV (from Season 2).  We just sprang for the full five seasons plus the   
   pilot and movie disc, all at once.  We're about 6 episodes from being done   
   with the whole thing.  We started like 2-2.5 weeks ago.  :)  I've been   
   preempting some work due to mental exhaustion, and this has been fun and   
   addictive and relaxing.   
      
   It's also our first time, pretty much.  Like I said, we caught about 5   
   episodes, but it was impossible to catch on TV when it was on here because   
   the schedule was constantly shifting.

   Let me know if you like Zack when you get to him.  Of all the regulars,   
   he's the one we like the least.  He's gotten a bit better, but I still   
   don't really care much for him--although he has a few good points here and   
   there.
