Oz

[Deleted]

We can't not have a thread on the best worst TV show ever made! Seriously, you guys.

In between all of the hot, wet, naked men you could spot a plot or two. I'm not too sure what it was all about, but I do know that Chris Meloni should just walk around naked in killer mode all of the time.

Did you want to pray with Said? Go insane with Adebisi? Entertain yourself with a prag with Schillinger and the nazis? Get involved in a threesome with Keller and Beecher? Play cards with Reabadow and Busmalis?

Come on, Oz fans! I know you're out there, lurking in the shadows! Put down that shank and we'll all be friends! Just remember to watch your back in the showers, and never EVER go to the storage room if you don't have a death wish.

We have been getting the DVDs as they come out. It was really good until the aging thing. I was so disappointed in that story line so I went to HBO and spoiled myself to the end.

I want to know how Adebisi defied gravity & kept his cap perched on the side of his head. I dug the look.

I missed this show when it was first-run. I'm gradually catching up now. It's so emotionally over-the-top. Yet so violent. Everyone keeps killing each other, but they still all stay in the same plexiglass space, in between therapy sessions with Sister Pete. When they start talking about feelings, it cracks me up. Other scenes totally mess me up. I'm still watchin though.

I were near the end of the fourth season of this show and yeah it really has become a soap opera, but the guys keep taking off their clothes so I watch /shallow. Although McManus gets a lot of shit over at TwoP for being a douche and well he is, but honestly the Warden is just as bad, probably worse as he could put a stop to McManus' stupid-ass schemes. Really the only good employees in Oz is Sister Pete, Mudakka, Diane (when she was on) and McMurphy.

Two surprises for me are that Luke Perry as the preacher and he being seriously good and the female sidekick from L&O:CI showing up, I was prepared for Meloni but not for her and she freaked me out as Shirley.

Has anyone ever spilled the beans as to how that thing stayed on for three seasons? Double sided tape? will power? Glue stick? Enquiring minds want to know...

This show was like crack to me. I was hooked from the first momment I stumbled across it.
(However it was slightly unrealisitc in the sense that way too many prisoners died and it was not looked into with much effort.)
From my perspective, the attractiveness of the actors was overwhelmed by the horrible characters they were playing.
The writing was, for the most part, fantastic. I've never seen anything else like it.

Compelling stuff.

Beecher & Keller are my all time favorite tv couple. Which may have something to do that I'm absolutely in love with Christopher Meloni. He should not be allowed to wear clothes. Awww, the Meloni Boloni.

I got so into this show, and now I freak out everytime I see the actors in other roles:
Schillinger in Spiderman.....freaky. I kept waiting for him to tatoo a swastica on Peter'a ass.

I absolutely love this show, I have to get it on DVD.

Beecher and Keller were so amazingly fucked up. The twists and turns of their relationship really intrigued me. It was never predictable, never too sappy. Of course, I wouldn't mind seeing what was going on in the pod of luuurve during those weeks of lockdown. Ah, good times.

I've read some interviews with Meloni where he's asked questions about Lee Tergesen (Beecher), and it seems they became good friends during the show. Meloni calls Tergesen a b*tch on several occasions. I love it. Who other than Chris Meloni can make that sound sexy?

The age pills were so ridiculous. It was one of the biggest WTF moments in my entire TV watching life. There's good crazy, and then there's so over the top you wonder what the writers have been smoking crazy.

Luke Perry in the wall, anyone? It gave me nightmares for weeks after seeing that. And did we ever find out what happened to him after he disappeared from the hospital?

Omar White was the most annoying character I've ever seen in a TV show. I wanted to shank my TV every time they spent time on him and his stupid storylines.

I loved this series. It made me nervous, scared, but I just couldn't turn away because I wanted to see what was going to happen next.

What, no love for Ryan O'Reily? He makes sociopathy look soooo sexy. I read an interview with Dean Winters where he was asked if there was any chance that Ryan would hook up with Dr. Nathan. His reply was, "only if she had a lobotomy." Well, sign me up for a lobotomy, baby!!

Love Oz...the best fight scenes and the biggest penises. The casting director sure knew what he/she was doing.
