DVD Reviews of Spaced: The Complete Series
DVD Review: Simon Pegg at His Finest!
Summary: 5 Stars
Spaced is fantastic! This show has an awesome 90's feel and they build every character up, not leaving anyone in the background like most shows. Each person is very unique with their own contributions to the humor and you learn to love them all! The show is pretty realistic. You could picture yourself in most of the situations going on and you're always left laughing! It's great! :)DVD Review: Brilliant

After seeing 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Hot Fuzz' I found this little gem of a show and love it. Well worth gettingDVD Review: Wasted months trying to decide if I should buy this series.
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally purchased it this month, and it's worth every cent. What an excellent show, full of orgional humor, outstanding characters and very funny takes on all kinds of films and film cliche's. If you're a fan of Peep Show and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, you're likely to enjoy this show. It's not as crude as Peep Show or It's Always Sunny, but it is just as funny. DVD Review: Well Written, Acted and short lived comedy series
Summary: 4 Stars
It's an odd thing to find out about a television show that only lasted 2 seasons several years ago. I personally couldn't get enough of this show.
Written by Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and the yet to be released How to Lose Friends and Alienate People) and Jessica Hynes (Son of Rambow), the show centers on two 20 somethings searching for an apartment. What they find is an ad for an apartment stating that "Professional Couples Only" may apply. The show takes off from there, when they attempt to forge a fraudulent relationship in order to secure a good apartment. That's the basic premise of the show, from there it turns into sitcom like situations, told in a very unusual way.
Now there's obviously things that we Americans won't get right off the bat. Phrases and slang we aren't 100% used to, but these thing didn't take away from the humor and sometimes insanity of this show. The show reminded me a little bit of Scrubs in the way it presented thoughts and quick cuts to flashbacks or character's thoughts. But the humor is centered really around homage to movies, games, and nerdom. The show is released right around the time of Episode 1... So expect many many jokes around that.... AND ENJOY IT! Added bonus, the man who actually did the voice of "Darth Maul" has a part in this series as a bad guy... PLEASE watch out for his lines mirroring Darth Maul's only lines.
Again, I loved this show. It wasn't quite like Shaun of the Dead, but it was a lot like Hot Fuzz in that it was obviously paying tribute to all the other genre's out there with quoted lines and music. There are so many small moments when they use one or two lines or just a few actions to mimic a movie, it's extremely well done. I guess the only other thing I'd have to say is, watch the series once and try to find all the lines from other movies... then watch it again with Homage Meter. I missed quite a lot...
DVD Review: great comedy with bonus: no canned laughter
Summary: 5 Stars
I love all the episodes, especially the one with the performance artist named "Vulva". I've been a fan of Simon Pegg since I saw him on Dylan Moran's "Black Books"; I think that's available on region 1 DVD now too.
Description of Spaced: The Complete Series
It only takes one episode to become very protective of this 1999 British Comedy Award-winning series that put comedy soul mates Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson (now Hynes), as well as Nick Frost, and director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) on the map. One can only hope a threatened American version is never produced. This is one of those brilliant, off-center, lightning-in-a-bottle creations that gets you so jazzed, you want to turn all your friends on to it. Spaced (actually, Friends might have been a better title; too bad it was taken) stars Pegg and Stevenson as strangers Tim and Daisy, "amiable 20-somethings" who pose as a "professional couple" to rent an apartment. He is a recently-dumped aspiring comic book artist. She is an easily distracted writer. As the series unfolds, their apartment becomes an "island of calm in the ocean of life" as Tim and Daisy form a kind of 21st century family with their similarly misfit friends, including soused landlord Marsha (Julia Deakin), who lives with her teenager daughter (aka "the devil in a A cup," who is heard, but never quite seen), Brian (Mark Heap), an artist who deals in anger, fear, and aggression, Simon's best friend Mark (Frost), a militaristic gun nut, and Daisy's best friend, Twist (Katy Carmichael), a fashion poseur (in the series' penultimate episode, look for a pre-Office Ricky Gervais). Spaced is not so much interested in Tim and Daisy's charade as it is in cramming each episode with pop culture references and obscure in-jokes, and brilliantly realized film and TV homages, ranging from Woody Allen's Manhattan to Pulp Fiction and The Empire Strikes Back (Star Wars, especially, looms large in Tim's slacker universe). As with Arrested Development, Spaced benefits from repeat viewings to catch missed bits of business and gags that fly by at a Simpsons-esque rate. This Complete Series set is everything Spaced's fervent following would demand. Each episode is complemented by the original commentaries as well as newly-recorded gabfests that also feature American friends of the show, including Kevin Smith, Patton Oswalt, Quentin Taratinto, Matt Stone, Diablo Cody, and Bill Hader. There are deleted scenes and outtakes, and, best of all, an hour-long 2007 Q&A with Wright and the cast, in which Pegg allows that, had there been a third series (and we can still dream), it would have provided viewers hoping that Tim and Daisy would ultimately get together with "a moment to make every hair of your body stand on end." You will see such a moment if you "skip to the end" of the essential near two-hour series retrospective. --Donald LiebensonGeneral DVDs
