My, my, here come the fuzz.

As you may have noticed by now, I have changed the theme of my blog. The header picture is of a now defunct British tv show called "Spaced". The director of "Spaced" and some of the actors have gone on to create the films "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz".

I started watching "Spaced" on youtube and then I was able to catch a few episodes on BBC America. It was good but I needed more! The DVD's of the show were finally released in America last week. So I decided to call around to a few stores to see if someone might have them.

First, I called Hasting's. I got a busy signal the first few times I called. Finally, the phone rang...and rang...and rang...

Screw them!

So, I called the only other place in town that might have them-Best Buy.

I'm not a regular shopper at Best Buy mostly because I'm poor. I do like looking at all the shiny shit on display though. I gave Best Buy a ring. I got some recorded message. It gave me options. I chose the option that said I could speak with a sales associate. Great!

Then the phone rang...and rang...and rang until it sent me back to the recored message! I tried it again. It rang...and rang...Finally! A human being answered the phone!

Me: Can you tell me if you have the tv show called "Spaced" on DVD?
Female: Hold on one second.

I'm waiting in silence and then...

The phone rang again!

To make a long story short, I ended up having the same conversation two more times before I gave up.  We had to leave the house anyway so we just dropped by the store.  I can see how the idiots couldn't find it since they had 5 copies just sitting right there on top of the "televison" DVD section!!

Anyway, I finally have my copies of probably the best tv show I have ever seen. I'm happy!!
