Great and addictive opening theme song. Many actors were defined by this show such as Richard Jenkins and Peter Krause. You can watch other series and movies that they are in but they never come close to their skill here and you will be left disappointed. Each episode brings you a new side story, which is cool but common themes chip away from the quality of this series and deteriorate the quality of the show as you get deeper into the series.

"yeah your right, they don't make it to be 100% to the "T" accurate...
it's suppose to be inaccurate, it's a sitcom. a t.v. show. UN-reality.
The show is sad, funny, happy, moving and disturbing all at once. No one wants to deal with a death of someone they know or love, this show is meant to open that avenue of how some deal with it...but exaggerated. It's not meant to be politically correct. It's meant to entertain, which it does quite well.
If your looking for reality and complete accuracy...American Idol is still running I heard :) I'll stick with what "shows" where started for to begin with, entertainment away from reality."
Superb Television!

"This is superb television with a talented cast portraying beautifully crafted characters with the help of excellent writing and direction. Enjoy this great television series for what it is - the extremely unnoticeable psychological stereotypes are way too insignificant to get hung up on..."
Misinformation about product

"The "additional product information" area when clicked, describes the three box set accurately except for one important point. The format is listed as "widescreen". Unfortunately, the set I received has standard 4:3 aspect ratio for seasons one and two and the widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio only for season three.
If this is the only combination of formats available, it would be nice to note that in the product description."
The Best TV Has To Offer

"I have to say I was shocked by some of the attacks on 6 Feet Under, specifically attacking the portrayal of doctors and other professionals. This is fiction, people! And it is the best ongoing fictional show ever created for television. The writing, directing and the acting are out of this world. I miss this show a lot and can't wait to see what Alan Ball comes up with next. Bravo Alan & Cast & Crew!!!!"
