I'm totally hooked on Six Feet Under.
We don't get HBO so have rented the first season on DVD. We are going through some major withdrawal since we finished it. When is the second season coming out on DVD???

1. I'm wondering the same thing
I hardly ever watch drama, but I'm hooked on this show! I just got HBO a couple months ago (digital cable with HBO on demand). I watched the entire third season in a week. I bought the first season on DVD and loved it. I've noticed that they are starting to show season 1 on the On Demand channel. Hopefully they will show season 2 so I don't have to shell out another $80 when the DVD comes out.

2. We watched episodes 4-6 of the first season last night
... couldn't go to bed till we saw them all. We're hooked! My husband even mentioned getting HBO again (although I think for the most part it would be a waste...

3. My friend got me hooked.
Lucky for me she gets HBO and tapes the shows for me. Although I am way behind right now.

4. WOW - how ironic!
Edited on Mon Jul-07-03 02:00 PM by molly
my son got me a subscription to Netflix for mother's day so I rented Six feet under and got hooked. My husband got hooked too. The last episode we watched was the one where Billy is going off and their mother tells Brenda that he hadn't tried to commit suicide he actually was building a bomb in the basement. Is there more to season 1?

Look on Ebay, I've seen season 2 and 3 out there.

on edit - just pulled this off of Ebay...

Pilot: Los Angeles, Christmas Eve, Nathaniel Fisher, owner of the Fisher and Sons Funeral Home, is killed when a municipal bus broadsides his new hearse. The tragedy casts a pall on the holiday homecoming of son Nate, as he must not only deal with the death of a father, but the traumas facing his unusual family.


The Will: The inventor of a franchise pyramid scheme dies in a pool accident, leaving his widow and infant daughter with a mountain of debts and no money for a proper funeral. Nate offers a solution: rent a top-line casket, then cremate the body after viewing. There's just one problem: by law, a used casket cannot be re-sold...


The Foot: A bakery owner meets an unsavoury demise - and it's up to Fredrico to put the pieces back together.


Familia: A Mexican-American gang member is killed, and the Fishers find that the family's wishes for burial are at odds with those of the gang's leader. Meanwhile, with arson investigators breathing down the family's neck, Nate, David and Ruth wonder if Claire might have had something to do with the fire across the street.


An Open Book: The death of a porno queen shocks Ruth, who is not prepared for the crush of co-stars who arrive at the Fisher's home to eulogize the fallen star.


The Room: A grieving widower camps out in the Fisher Funeral Home after the death of his wife of 56 years. While serving church meals to the homeless, David finds himself pursued by pushy divorced parishioner Tracy Montrose Blair, and an examination of funeral-home receipts leads Nate to uncover some of his father's secrets.


Brotherhood: When a young Army veteran dies of Gulf War syndrome, his embittered brother decides to eschew a military funeral in favour of a simple cremation and disposal.


Crossroads: With a lull in business at Fisher's, Nate and David decide to rent out a room at the funeral home to make some extra income, and Rico is tempted to take on some extra work at Kroehner's. Claire struggles to grasp the lessons of her outreach hike in the mountains, and Ruth struggles to reconcile her feelings toward Hiram with her need for excitement.


Life’s Too Short: A tragedy reunites Claire with ‘foot guy’ Gabe who sullied her reputation at school. To improve Nate's sales skills, Brenda suggests they pose as bereaved relatives at several funeral homes in the area and Ruth finds a weekend camping trip with Hiram to be an eye-opening experience.


The New Person: Nate and David decide to hire a replacement for Rico: Angela (Illeana Douglas), who does good work and speaks her mind - too well... (this is the last one I saw)


The Trip: David, Nate and Brenda travel to Las Vegas to attend a funeral directors conference, and experience the highs and lows of Sin City.


A Private Life: The homophobic killing of a gay man forces David to confront his own fears about his lifestyle - and life choices. After a particularly sick "joke" by Billy, Nate agrees with Brenda's parents that Billy should be institutionalised, but Brenda isn't convinced - yet.


Knock Knock: David and the rest of the Fishers experience the control-freak side of Tracy Montrose Blaire when she envisions a "resplendent" funeral for her dearly departed Aunt Lilian.

5. I think that is all of season one.
The beginning of Knock Knock is hysterical. Can't wait to see season two.

6. I've been watching this show since day one
and can only say that I've NEVER been so hooked on a show in my entire 45 years. I think that this last season which just ended a few weeks ago was the best. For those of you who are interested, there's a website where you can go and read up on the differnt shows, charcters, etc. This is a brilliantly written and acted series. I love ALL of the characters because they are flawed, complicated, interesting, entertaining, and totally endearing. I'm a lesbian but I have a HUGH crush on the character of Nate. I only hope that the excellent writing and character development continue.
