What's your favorite UM volume? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm going to go with #2, 'cause it's got Bob Bean.

In all the years I've known crystaldawn, I've never felt compelled to buy one of these. That being said, I did look over the lineup for volume 11 which has the Consagra episode. You really can't go wrong with that story, so I'm going to cast my vote for volume 11.

Well considering the reason I started making any of the volumes was so I would have my favorite segments together on one dvd I would have to say volume 1 is definitely my favorite.

LOL! That is a compelling reason to vote for #2... Every time I look at your dang avatar I laugh out loud. Bobby is one of a kind, that's for sure.

But my OFFICIAL vote is for: Volume 4

Why, you ask? Awesome, classic stories: Dale Kerstetter, Bonnie Wilder, Perman Gilbert, Circleville Letters, and Jeffrey MacDonald, to name a few.

I really do like them all, but Volume 4 stands out, IMHO.

By the way, MAJOR KUDOS to crystaldawn for all of the hard work she put in to make, copy, and distribute those. When I first heard there were DVDs of UM with commercials edited out, I almost wet my pants. Well done, lady!

Same here!! I just purchased volumes 1 and 5. There were so many segments on those volumes that I've never seen before, like Tara Calico, Kathy Hobbs, Wanda Jean Mays, Eva Shoen, Blind River shootings & Keith Reinhard!

I thought this was going to be so tough to answer with all of them being so great- and ten years ago before DVD'S and the net had really taken off if someone told me I would be able to watch UM segments after it was cancelled over here on Sky and was never picked up by our main broadcasters I would have just laughed.

However my mind said I am sure one volume has both the Wackers and L'Enfant on it and I checked and it turns out to be volume 2 then I looked at the rest of it and if that was not enough it also has the Cayedito abduction, Dark Dante, Munday/Strickland, Doyle Wheeler, I-70 Killer, Morris Davis, the Pizzaman and Estate Agent murders, the Arsonist who kept saying Omar, Dottie Caylor & Jenny Pratt- it has to be this one for me.

Hmmm "Unsurpassed Ripoffs" hmmm - Can't say I have any of those.

^ Just so everyone knows I have nothing against CD's series of dvds but just enjoy ribbing the heck out of her because she "stole" my idea.

Actually "stole" is a bit strong LOL she emailed me the night before she debuted volume one and asked me my thoughts on starting such a project. Crystaldawn actually has a lot of class (sometimes)...that email wasn't necessary but was thoughtful. Anyhow I'm glad she does this as I frankly don't have the time anymore.

I guess that wasn't very classy, eh?

Dagnabit...I was sure my "kudos to crystaldawn" reply was somewhere around here. I swear I wrote one.

Well...since I don't see it I guess I'll write another one. I'd like to thank crystaldawn for her wonderful efforts in spreading the UM gospel. Its a rare soul who does so much and asks so little in return.

I have enjoyed posting around here in the recent months because its been a treat to find such like-minded folks and commiserate with yall about one of my favoritest TV shows ever.

More than that, I have enjoyed receiving the bundles of happiness I find in my mailbox every so often courtesy of miss dawn.

Most of all, however, I have enjoyed getting to know crystaldawn and have delighted in reading her funny, thoughtful, and sassy-assed e-mails. All of you here seem like cool people and cd is like the cream of the crop.

I would have to say Volume 1. But they are all fantastic. Crystaldawn you are a gem. I never would have had the chance to see them again as I don't live in the U.S and don't have paytv!

James T · 10-03-2007, 01:51 AM

You could always return the favour by compiling the best of Neighbours and Home & Away and sending them to her.
