aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

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.

Always Anti-fascist!

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.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm still, after watching every episode, not sure if I like it or not.

Well, that's not inspiring confidence!

The characters are well-drawn, I think. Sometimes I like one, sometimes another, they all take turns being idiots and bastards and woobies, kind of.

Hm.

I loved 6FU, because I'm inclined to like a show where somebody dies at the start of every show

Hee. The TWoP recapper instituted a Start-to-Corpse number to aid in grading each episode (the lower the number of seconds, the higher the grade)

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.

I...hope I like the show? I have a friend who really loves it and has been on me to watch it for ages.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, sometimes pimps are right. I'd never have braved Deadwood or The Wire without mine(Which cocksuckers post upthread...heng mai) Because I thought "Westerns? Drugs?" "Ew..." But that was really dumb.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

For context, I'm also not sure if I like James Joyce.

I'm glad I watched it, fwtw. It was not a waste of time, I like knowing about the characters and their stories, though there was some eye-rolling along the way and I don't think it deserves as much praise as it has gotten, necessarily. It's not The Wire, y'know?

I really hate the opening credits.

But it's good.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Add me to the list of those who didn't care for Six Feet Under.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I laughed/boggled so hard at the way SFU ended, but I never got so far into the series that I could say I hated it. But I'm with you haters in spirit!

move out and draw fire

I wanted to love 6FU but hated every single character eventually so that might it kind of hard for me.

Yep. I loved the one-sheet, or whatever you call it, with the lipstick. That was about it.

Of course, I'm finding that I don't give a rat's ass about anyone in Lost either.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

OMG, still catching up on the first season of DEXTER and if Michael C. Hall's expression after slamming Rita's ex with the frying pan isn't the most adorable, hilarious thing I've seen in ages (PUSHING DAISIES possibly excepted) I don't know what is. If Rudy actually killed Angel, though, I'm gonna be pissed.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It so is, Frank. I finished that season last weekend. Loved it. And that is all I will say until you finish.
