We don’t get DirecTV here. I suppose that I’ll have to wait for DVDs…
So THRILLED to hear that Damages has been picked up for two more seasons. I have been missing Patty and Ellen since the end of season 3 (even tho neither 2 nor 3 have ever compared to the fantastic twists and turns of season 1), I have still been hoping and waiting for it’s return. Those of you complaining that it will be only on Direct TV, or complaining that you will have to wait for the DVD….there are OTHER options. Websites such as Sidereel.com or TVDuck.com or watch-series.com or episodemissed.com – - the list goes on and on and on, and I’m sure that somebody out there who subscribes to Direct TV will upload a link to it for those of us without access. These days, you don’t even need to own a tv to watch tv! Just use your computer. It’s a whole lot easier than searching through your program guide every day or programming your DVR! Anyway….can’t wait! By the way, there are conflicting dates of when season 4 will begin on various websites. I have heard that it will not air until 2012. Anybody know for sure that it will be back in 2011? Does anyone know of an exact air date yet? Would love to know for sure.
@ Karen-
I am just on Season One Episode Three, and am IN LOVE with this show……(Checked it out Because of DirecTV!!)…..
Does it not stay this good?!?!
AWESOME!!! I am addicted to the series. Actors like Glenn Close make it believable, but the storyline and scripting are what makes it INCREDIBLE. It’s team effort. thank you DirecTV!!!!
i am going long life
Great news! A friend told me about Damages. I got Season 1,2,3 on DVD and absolutely love the series. I I am watching Season 4 on Direct TV.
LOVED Damages and missing it already and hope it comes to DVD.
How about Men of a Certain Age – that one needs saving…how can there Jersey Shores and not enough viewers to watch quality tv drama??!!!
I m hoping to leap for an HDTV dnurig the 4th of July sales events, and am wondering if it would be best to get with with a built in pass catcher? I too will have to buy an HD compatible TiVo loge because my other 1s are for SD only. Does anyone have any propositions out there touching on the best HDTV with an integrated receiver?
Hey forget that website, you sound like the girlfriend for me! Hop on board, sister.
