Editorial Reviews
Before "Shaun of the Dead," Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright were behind this sharply funny Britcom. Pegg and Jessica Stevenson co-wrote and starred as Tim and Daisy, strangers who pretend to be a couple so they can rent a flat, leading them into a series of absurdly hilarious, pop culture reference-infused encounters with their boozy landlord Marsha (Julia Deakins), disturbed painter neighbor Brian (Mark Heap), Tim's wanna-be soldier pal Mike (Nick Frost), and Daisy's flighty friend Twist (Katy Carmichael). <> Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English; audio commentary by Pegg, Wright, Stevenson, others; deleted scenes; outtakes; photo gallery; biographies; music video. 14 episodes on 3 discs. 5 3/4 hrs.

This is an AMAZINGLY wonderful show. Genius!
Edgar, Simon and Jess created a program which speaks directly to a specific group of people with whom they share so much in common. If you get the subtle inside jokes, you feel special, if not, you love it anyway because it's just so unique and funny. Spaced lays the foundation for many ongoing jokes (much like Kevin Smith's universe) in subequent Wright/Pegg/Frost films Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. I own the UK version and will absolutely be buying this release too! Quite frankly, I'll buy anything from Edgar, Simon or Nick!

If you've never had the opportunity to see Spaced, you're in for a treat. Available for the first time ever in the States on DVD (and a long time coming at that!), this hilarious sit-com delivers all the necessities of an instant cult classic.
The story revolves around Tim and Daisy, two twenty-somethings who, through a spell of bad luck, wind up meeting in a London coffee shop. Both are at the ends of bad relationships, so they decide to move into a flat together, pretending that they are married in order to gain residence. Laced with pop culture references, the series manages to balance their misadventures with their aspirations of becoming successful.
Highly recommended. But just be sure not to call Hawk the Slayer rubbish!

This series (though only two seasons) is brilliant! It is by far my favorite british series -- yes, I'm even including the Office in there. My friend got my hooked on it when I was living over there, and now I'm left spaced-less, which is not a good situation to be in.
Seriously though, the writing and acting is spot on. It often spoofs well known pop culture, and always does so without being over-the-top or cringe worthy like some spoofs. And the originality of the series is unrivaled -- Simon Pegg is brilliant! Be sure to catch his zombie romance spoof, Shaun of the Dead.
Please please please, I beg of the powers to be, bring both seasons of Spaced to the American audience! I'm tired of my friends only seeing Keeping Up Appearances on PBS and saying British comedy isn't that funny -- well they haven't seen Spaced yet...
