I Like to Watch

    You have some of it right!

    While I don't watch a lot of television, I did watch the Sopranos and personally found this last season to be lacking! I was surprised it received any nominations, to be honest. And what about The Closer? It is the best drama on the tube today. There is not a bad actor in the bunch. (Is it wrong that I think J.K. Simmons is hot?)

    About 2.5 Men ... it IS funny, but not in a smart and witty way; rather it is funny in a crude sort of way that you laugh your ass off, but you don't tell your friends you watch it.

    John From Cincinnati? I tried to watch that first episode, but ... it was just wrong on too many levels to count. I kept asking myself: HBO cancels a show like Carnivale that made you think (in a good way) but put crap like this on instead! Makes a girl want to cancel her HBO!
