However, like any other herbicide, systemic weed killers should be applied with caution to avoid harming desirable plants nearby. And it looks like link building is here to stay as the single most powerful SEO tactics. I’d like to see those shows, but I just need to cut corners somewhere. Anyone can create something, upload it to the Web, and the entire world can see it. Jon, Do you not have Showtime, as its shows are the one group that I’ve not see you weigh in on? I was this close to canceling HBO and subscribing to Showtime, but “Flight of the Conchords” and the COMPLETE collapse of “Weeds” (you’ve really understated it above) changed my mind. Easily the best show – better than any listed on the page above. I completely agree with Bluebleeder on the last 2 episodes, but I’m hoping that will be better explained in year 2. The show rocked and Duchovny should get some acting award, as he was brilliant.
Enders, Californication absolutely rocks although I have to admit that I didn’t like the last 2 episodes but all ‘n all I can’t wait for season 2. Nice piece Scott Long. The last of those shows has now ended, and HBO is basically in a five-year slump. HBO let Milch fly on JFC and didn’t steer TMYLM or FOC at all – those shows were very un-HBO like, whether you liked them or not. So I was able to write off JFC. HBO has had, basically, four really fantastic shows: The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, and The Wire. They haven’t debuted a great show since Deadwood, and that was, what, six years ago? Eff the topic: if a show can’t deliver characters and storylines for their development, then the show is dead. We eat the greens of garlic mustard all spring, טלגראס תל אביב קישור (telegram4israel.net) then pull it out just before it bolts (making a horseradishy vinegar from the choicest roots) – often revealing a generous crop of chickweed lurking underneath. Californication is another. Liked the first few seasons, and then dragged for no reason. But the reason HBO shows were great to begin with is that there was NO formula; they just placed a show in the hands of creative people like Milch, Simon, טלגראס חולון Ball, and Chase, and let them do their thing.
I love Big Love, loved Sopranos to the end, like Extras and Flight and thought TMYLM and Curb improved as their seasons went on. My theory is that HBO has started acting more like a normal network, with network execs supervising content and exercising control over the content of shows, trying to apply their hitmaking formula. A unique topic is something which makes it more exciting to me than just doing another typical crime, hospital, or legal show. Also, I find it interesting that your criticism of Big Love is with the topic. Also, I’m more satisfied with HBO than I think you are. I recognize that all the cool kids love it, but I’m generally a bit skeptical of that type of comedy, as I think it is much more impressive to make a larger group laugh and still be smart. A new type of starter home is beginning to pop up in London – one that comes with the promise of helping priced-out first-time homebuyers finally break into the housing market. I’ve been waiting for a time to start watching them on DVD, as I’m kind of a completist about TV shows, wanting to watch them from the beginning.
I have mentioned in the past that I didn’t watch the Wire’s first season. Get rid of Six Feet Under from your first sentence and I agree with most everything you said. Thus I didn’t think it was worth commenting on, unlike the obscene overratedness of Six Feet Under. I think I’m one of the few who even liked its fifth season also. The situations that would come out of a polygamist lifestyle I think is ripe for interesting action. Baseball Toaster is now out of business. Now when we take showers, we leave the bathroom door open. The widespread use of glyphosate has led to the development of genetically modified “Roundup-Ready” crops that are resistant to the herbicide, covering a significant portion of U.S. Big Love is the most traditional, if I can use that word, of the current HBO shows, yet it operates freely. It’s been said that, “Hunger is the best spice.” Similarly, cannabis can influence the parts of our brain and body that engage when our body is in starvation mode. Resistance training is useful for people who are carrying a lot of body fat, as increased body fat is a big risk of heart disease.
