OK, so I'm a cheap bastard and refuse to pay for Showtime. Of course, I have the full boat HD package but no premium channels. The HD is, of course the perfect accessory to the feel-better purchase that I made last year. (46" Sammy LCD) And the perfect accessory to that is being able to watch Californication on DirectTV's free preview channel when they run it.
I've always liked David Duchovny as an actor ever since the X-Files. He's a little deadpan, but it's defintely appropriate for certain roles, and his Hank on Californication is a GREAT role. Of course, I can relate to his usually dysfunctional choices. Especially WHY he makes the choices he makes. Hank is hopelessly in love with the mother of his child, but is making his dysfunctional best of the situation. He really means well, but his psyche often gets in the way. Of course, his choices usually mean that he has sex with anything that walks, but hey, that's one way to express one's unhappiness with oneself.
Reminds me, I'm going to need to go get a Blockbuster Online or Netflix account and rent the series.
One other at least quasi-interesting show that I saw on Tuesday night was "Whatever, Martha." The basic concept is that with Martha Stewart's blessing, her daughter and her daughter's friend (who coincidentally is the daughter of the head of Martha Stewart's production company) make fun of old clips of "Martha Stewart Living" ala "MST3K". The humour wasn't nearly as intelligent or pop-culture savvy as MST3K, but an occasional crass comment from Martha's daughter and her friend were remotely amusing. If you're in your early 20's and have a half a brain, I guess.
