Use the concatenate function that comes with scikits.timeseries
>>> ts.concatenate([series,series1])
timeseries([0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3],
   dates = [2005 ... 2012],
   freq  = A-DEC)

ts.concatenate tests whether the series have the same frequency, and optional parameters let you decide what to do with duplicates.
