Not TV, but I've told people to skip the first two books in the Discworld series, Sir Terry doesn't really get into his stride till a little later, but book three is where his talent starts to shine.

    Yeah, though even then there's a lot of growth. Comparing The Theif of Time, Thud, or I Shall Wear Midnight to Sourcery just feels unfair to the latter.

    Or start with Small Gods, everyone who likes discworld likes Small Gods. It stands alone, it's clever, but has some of the early book style, and it's regularly referenced by the fans.
