Most fans of the show tend to agree that the first season is the best of the three, and I share in that viewpoint as well. Just the opening lines from the pilot set the stage for everything to come, and it still works...

"I'm Liz Parker, and five days ago I died. After that, things got really weird."

Thats fine - Wifey and I can and will do shows like that if done well.

But.... for the helluva it we tried an episode of Roswell, New Mexico last night(on Netflix). Holy Social "Issues", Batman. No thanks, LOL. . I read reviews on the New Mexico show and most said the same thing as we thought. BARF!

But I will somehow try Roswell, the original show as that has overwhelmingly positive reviews.
