Watching Showtime

You have to love the audacity of Hank. From moment one you see him fighting desperately to ruin his life. Before the credits even roll, he’s picking a fight with the screenwriter who “butchered�? his best-seller, and admitting to having slept with his wife. In every room of their house. All while he’s at a reading in a bookstore. And to add insult to injury, Bill’s the one that shows up to pick him up from the police station, and with Becca in the car.

And that’s just the first five minutes of the episode!

The second episode of this black comedy has officially won me over. From flashbacks to happier times with Karen and Becca to blog posting at the Mac store, Hank is starting to grow on me and I’m happy to report I loved this episode!

An article in Variety shares some amazing news … Weeds broke records for a Showtime premiere!! With over 800,000 viewers, the tremendous showing also boosted ratings for Californication, helping out a show I’m still on the fence about. I’ll leave you with a link to the full article, and promises that I’ll be a much better blogger next week … life just got the best of me this week is all.

I’m just not sure how I feel about Californication. I want to like it. I went into the episode sure I’d love it. And then … and then I don’t know what happened, because by the time the episode was done, I just wasn’t sure anymore.

I love how David Duchovny plays Hank Moody with such dry sarcasm and dead-pan humor. The daughter is genius. I love every single casting choice, to be honest. So that can’t be the problem.

There’s a great write-up of both the new season of Weeds and the premiere of Californication over at the Seattle Times from Sunday. Check it out, and don’t forget to set your TiVo for all the action Monday night!

Tonite is the season finale of Meadowlands, and while I’ll be sad to see it retire for the time being, I cannot help but do a little butt dance in my chair for the two shows that will start their run next Monday night. With stars like Mary Louise Parker and David Duchovny coming to my tv screen every Monday night, I think the swoon factor will be pretty great in my household. And in celebration, the rest of the week (after, of course, my Meadowlands recap tonite) will be dedicated to all things Weeds and Californication, starting with the last of the recaps of season two episodes.

What about you? Which show are you looking forward to? Which star are you excited to see grace the screen? And don’t forget, your comments here could be worth as much as $300 this month, thanks to 451 Press!
