this show premiers tonight. it looks hella funny. is anyone else watching it?

I thought it looked good, but am not watching it.  YOu'll have t let me know how it goes.

[Beefy]

I don't have Showtime.

[Gamplayerx]

Was it good?

I've never watched a cable series. 

[eo000]

It was good. I liked it.

[Jessie]

You are the best reviewer ever.

[eo000]

really though, it's about a suburban family who's father died, so the mother started selling weed to support the comfortable lifestyle she has grown accustom to.  throw in a quirky cast, and presto. there's your show.


oh, and the mom has a really cute "stoned" face.

[Jessie]

Oh I read something about that.

[cnamon]

I saw it too.  I like how she busted the gay kid.

[Alice]

So it's Six Feet Under, but substitute dead people for drugs?

[eo000]

So it's Six Feet Under, but substitute dead people for drugs?

oh no. it's A LOT happier than six feet under. this is a comedy/drama. not a drama/worst case scenerio.

So it's The Hogan Family but replace Jason Bateman with drugs?

[Bishamonten]

We came across the North Sea with our carriers on our knees
Wound up in some holding camp somewhere outside Leeds.
Because we do not care to fight, my friends - we are the weeds.
Because we got no homes they call us smelly refugees.
Ah. We are weeds, vegetation, dense undergrowth.
Thru' cracks in the pavement: there weeds will grow - the places you don't go.
This cut-price dairy produce that turns our bones to dust.
You want some entertainment?
Go on, shove it up me - if you must.
Make believe you're so turned on by planting trees & shrubs
But you come round to visit us when you fancy booze 'n' drugs.
Ah. We are weeds, vegetation, etc.
If you think it's a crime
We'd like to get you out of your mind.
It's just a matter of time, yeah
We'd like to get you out of your mind.
Gonna cut you down in your prime, yeah
We'd like to get you out of your mind.
For a little time: for all time.
Weed.

I wish I wasn't too cheap to pay for premium cable channels so I could watch this show.

I'll just get it on DVD if it turns out to be good.

[cnamon]

In DC, HBO and Showtime are basic cable.

That is the only perk of Comcast.

[Mr. Ubiquity]

[Beefy]

[Mr. Ubiquity]

WHAT????  Corporate fuckers....

Yup.  The creators shopped it around but no one else wanted it I guess.

[Mr. Ubiquity]

Well no one ever said corporations know what people want.

They juyst pop out shows like inbreds have kids and expect everyone to support them and like them, even if they suck.


Then the ones that people do like they pull of the air because it doesnt follow the standard lemming tv show mentality.
