Without the original music, the series is missing a major character.

This does have the original music, as far as I was aware - no?

I guess I'm confused... there are a few NX threads that I subscribe to.

I bought NX Blu-ray 3 times now(?) I think the last version was the German Issue. It's all a serious blur to me.

Finished watching the first season last night. I had never heard of this until I saw it on here. What an incredible show, a couple of moments caught me a little off guard and I definitely felt the heart strings being tugged.

I guess it's the music rights issue that stopped this getting a second life with re runs? I wish I had seen this years ago, better late than never, though.

The show definitely hit the ground running. The Season 2 episode Spring Break (particularly the ending) was the defining moment for me. I remember thinking at the time, this is something really special.

I couldn't find a video of this wonderful performance by Graham as Leonard. It's S5.E8 "Heal Thyself."

It's the great scene when Graham goes to Ed's place and asks him whattheheck is wrong with him for messing with the mind of the very lovely Bonnie.

Leonard Quinhagak: You expecting company?
Ed Chigliak: [whispers] The Green Man.
Leonard Quinhagak: The Green Man?
Ed Chigliak: [nods his head] He said he was gonna join me for dinner and the rest of my life.

Followed shortly by:

Leonard Quinhagak: Low self esteem is the root cause of practically all the pain and misery in the world. It's what drives war, and torture, and genocide. It's what evil is. Do you think Hitler liked himself? Or Cortez? We hate others because we hate ourselves.

Then Leonard says something quite wonderful from John 1: "Love casts out fear..." and tells Ed, "You have to learn to love yourself..."
