I loved 6FU, because I'm inclined to like a show where somebody dies at the start of every show (it kept me into to Law & Order for the longest time).
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Punishingly Intricate
I wanted to love 6FU but hated every single character eventually so that might it kind of hard for me. I watched way more of it than I should have considering how much it irritated me.

where somebody dies at the start of every show
Easily my favorite part. I watched every Sunday with the same group of people that I watched football and the Sopranos with. Before every episode we would have a pool of how the death would occur.

The funny thing is, I expected it to be like "Dead Like Me" and you know,it's not. But I've enjoyed it once I've forgiven it for not being a wacky mortuary comedy...I'm still not sure if I'll watch them all or not. Because I can sort of see the haters' point and because nothing can live up to all that acclaim. Except The Wire...The Wire deserves everything. (Ok, I've done my duty as a fake literary spouse.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
What lisah said.

I loved the ones with Keith's smart-aleck niece, though. She was great.

The one where they were scoping out the competition and Brenda came in with her head wrapped in that scarf made me lose it. She often irritated me, but man what a ball it must have been for Rachel Griffiths to play a character who would do anything.

That must have been fun for her, yeah.

Lisa and Tom speak for me, too. I think I've seen almost every single episode (mainly because my wife loved the show), but I rolled my eyes constantly through almost all of them.

Sometimes I really enjoy that. Mocking stuff. Although I do get the urge to be all "English, motherfucker, English!" when they think they're really Significant.
But I do that. Much as I found out I like The West Wing, I still think it needs Clay Davis to clap Rob Lowe on the shoulder and say "Sheeit. Sam Seaborn, my favorite whiteboy." Because we didn't get where we are in a power struggle between high-minded professionals, you know? (And I could watch that actor be slimy all day.)
