Tivo is my girlfriend and I hate that bitch- it's a love/hate relationship- as all mine become. If you're not watching anything on the FX channel, you are seriously missing out on life. First, Nip/Tuck, I don't have to explain. Second, Rescue Me, okay, I know, the second season got a bit dramatic but who else better to throw those punches than the now, but still cynically witty, very dramatic and emmy award worthy (the man deserves some frickin respect already) Dennis Leary. The Shield- yes, Chicklis, I was the first to say short, pudgy bald guys can be tough without the goatie. Who is back and lovin that West Wing- if Politics could only be like this- change it's title to Lessons for Politicians. You been LOST this season, if JJ keeps that story going in that direction, so will the cast and crew, still emmy deserving though- Yet it lives up to it's name. OKAY- F@$! the American people for not being smart enough to handle Arrested Development- genius, new comedy with a new attitude- it WAS the next Seinfeld and if it was on any network aside from FOX, it may have had a chance. Not saying FOX is bad, just it is not the big boy who gets the respect it deserves. Which will lead me to my next note, you have to respect THE OFFICE, I know, Americans ripping off the English? This is done so well and we all know that 40 year old virgin is leaning it towards a whole 'nother level. Make it your own baby - lets just hope it has a future. My name is Earl- no it isn't, and if I had that guys career, I would start thinking about my next project. Like soon. The whole limpy docter thing on House M.D. works, I just really like the intro song, it gets ya, actually kinda makes the show worthwhile. No it ain't Cheers and it definately didn't make it to Frasier spin off status, so bye bye Joey, it's not you Le Blanc, it's the others, except that former Sorprano star who is just WAY to good to be on that show. Oh, Oh, Oh, its HBO!!!!! I've come to the conclusion that, HBO stands for ourshowswillkillanyshowyoutrytocomeupwith. It has never once and never will Curb Your Enthusiasum. Larry, I wish you were my cousin. Than I'd be Jewish AND funny. Yes, I'd call him my 'cousin Larry' (hence the joke- felt I had to explain). Rome is not Rome, but for television, Rome is a decent depiction of sex and murder. Where else can you explore slavery, homosexuality, incestuality and any other word ending with i-t-y. Not going to say anything but, wait for March, it will be the last season of the Sorpranos. Than the apocalyspe. They cut CARNIVAL way too soon, what happen, does anybody else know what happened!? Oh and lastly, Pamela Anderson should own a network that only showcases her tits- day and night, NOT HER OWN DAMN SHOW!!! Although I'd be on it if she asked me too. It could happen. If you've made it this far, yes, I have problems. Thank you for noticing.
