Herein we discuss awesome dramas and dramadies and whatnot.
First and foremost, Entourage:
Entourage centers on rising Hollywood star Vincent Chase and the friends who ride his coattails. Wacky misadventures with strippers and rap stars follow. Sometimes Anthony Michael Hall pees off of a balcony. For my money the real star of the show is Jeremy Piven. He has truly turned the role of Vincent's agent, Ari Gold, into a thing of beauty. He's a fast-talking hard-assed hollywood type who embodies everything you wish you were. This show is one of the best things out there right now.
We're in the fourth season right now. HBO
Next up, Dexter:
Some people didn't like this show's first season, but I loved every episode, if for nothing more than the opening credits. This show's protagonist is serial killer Dexter Morgan, the adopted son of a cop who taught him all the tricks of the trade. Dexter sticks to killing bad guys, but it's not always easy, as he has some pretty strong urges. The most surprising thing about this show is the fact that it's frequently rather light-hearted.
Second season starts in the fall, I believe. This is a Showtime show.
Brand new this season, John From Cincinnati
I don't know Ed O'Neill instead
We're only three episodes in, but man I am loving this show. There's really no way to explain it perfectly, but it centers around a family with a surfing legacy and the stranger, John, who shows up and starts changing their lives. John has all the mannerisms and apparent intelligence of an autistic or mentally-deficient person, but strange things happen when he's around. People float, birds come back to life, junkies don't get the shakes. He also has magic pockets. The only thing that might turn you off of the show is the fact that they're using two real-life surfers in prominent roles. These guys should have stuck to surfing. But John's character more than makes up for that in my opinion.
You should definitely watch this show. It's quirky and the dialogue is almost too clever for its own good, but I fucking loved the latest episode. HBO and, like, Sundays I think. I've been watching them on my OnDemand.
People are saying Big Love is going to be the next big thing for HBO.
It's about a polygamist family hiding in plain sight in Utah. Bill Paxton. Wacky fundamentalist Mormons living on compounds and marrying 14 year olds. HBO

I mean, it took like an 8 month break or something
that should mean new season, but HBO says it's "Season 3 part 2"
season 3 part 2 already finished
season four started with the Medellin filming episode
that is retarded
Also, it lets me use the phrase "I'm answering the call to practice the covenant of plural marriage" a lot to my gf, with often hilarious results.
Airforce Amy?
Isabella Soprano?
Yes please!
Also, fucking Big Love rocks. I really enjoy watching that show.
It's so weird.
:?:
Dexter is so god damn awesome.
I should have set my dvr to record john from cin
i fucked up
i better catch the reruns

Oh, and I forgot to mention that it co-stars fucking Ed O'Neill as wacky guy with birds. I should put that in there.
that could have been a good show, but they fucked it up with stupid writing and got it cancelled
dumbasses

I loved Odyssey 5. The last time my gf had lunch with Peter Weller she got him to autograph our copy of the DVDs.
Now I want to spend the rest of the day doing a Sebastian Roche impression and calling everyone darling.
Big Love hasn't felt as consistent to me as some other shows. People seem to love it, though.
Roman and his whole group are very creepy. I wonder how much of a caricature they are.
(less rants but still some good ones. Driving and eating? Hilarious)
now throw some theories at me
series finale
turns out that John really is just a retarded guy
his parents from Minnesota come and bring him back
but haha I love that shit
I'm gonna start using that on people all the time
Secret Satan 2013 Wishlist
try to keep up here
we're already on v2.0
I've only watched two regularly: Six Feet Under and Dead Like Me(ironic, but not really a coincedence).
I've seen all of the latter, and part of Season 3 of the former, but I don't really like where SFU is headed in the third season... way too much drama.
Dead Like Me is hilarious throughout, even with the seriousness coming into play here and there.
Also, Mandy Patinkin.
Dead like Me was pretty great.
so is he like a magical retard or what
there are holes in your theories
but don't get me wrong i like where this is going
Also very good.
You know what would be pretty sweet? If Shaun was this generation's version of Ben from Carnivale. Now we need to figure out who the Preacher is.
Alternate theory:
Shaun is the antichrist. This would explain all the nipple burning with Kai's vision.
Hey, question: what are Butchie's implants? Like, metal plates?
I like most of the characters, but they've added so much weight to everyone, even Nate.
Lauren Ambrose's presence still assures I'll watch the rest of it sooner or later.
And there's still stuff they didn't even get to resolve, which is what really sucks about it ending at season two.
boo.
shaun is such a poor actor though
i don't want it to be that shaun-centric
yeah
before that point though, awesomeness

no
john is a brilliant actor being dull-witted
shaun is just a dull-witted actor
