I have updated my Deadwood selection with more info about the show and some clips. So, stop being a ********* ********** and go watch them.



A comment about Californication, maybe I have a weird sense of humor, but I would have put it in the comedy category. I guess it has enough dramatic moments to fit there too.

I find it to be a really weird show, I watch every episode, I enjoy most of them, but I still don't know if I "like" the show. I appreciate the talent and creativity of the people behind the show (and the frequent nubile nudity is a bonus). It's a well-made show, but I just don't know if I "like" it.

There are a few other shows I can think of that also fall into that category, but I don't want to mention them since they might get picked. I think my problem with it is that I don't like or relate to any of the characters on the show. If I knew these people in real life, I would change my phone number and email address to avoid them.

Most shows have some "grounded" person for viewers to relate to, and I'm not sure if it's supposed to be the mother or the daughter, but I don't really care for either of them. The girl is okay, but I think she's unrealistically "world wise" for someone her age who grew up in such a messed-up environment. I find the mother more unbearable than Hank. He's a horrible and unrepentant narcissist, but at least he recognizes that he's unlikeable. I don't think Karen realizes that she's unlikeable too.

The Runkles, however, amuse the hell out of me. Charlie's porn adventures this season have been great.

I think the only character on the show who I don't dislike as a person is the prostitute played by Judy Greer ("say goodbye to these").
