Oh yeah. Best show on television.

I can't wait to see how Christian interviews the prospective nannies.

I just started watching this on DVD two nights ago (5 eps in) and I am sorry I never watched it when it aired. I resisted because the premise didn't interest me but I have to say I love it! The only other shows I watch regularly (Shield, Sopranos, Deadwood) are over for the year so at least I have something to look forward to weekly.

I absolutely love this show - but I absolutely HATE the surgery scenes. Good thing they're only about a minute per episode.

I wish I would have ordered season one a little sooner so I could actually watch this. I guess I better break out a VCR tape.

What's a VCR?

(just kidding)

I wish Tivo would fix the directory or whoever supplies it because it has no synopses for Nip|Tuck and my tivo is treating it as a repeat. I'll just have to add a manual, I guess.

You mean you don't like seeing them take a scaple to a guy's ass?




I think they are awful, too - I just try to listen to them.

There might be "better" shows out there than Nip/Tuck (Shield, Sopranos, SixFeetUnder), but they are not nearly as entertaining.

That's what I had to do.

I figured I would hear that, and believe me I would like to get a Tivo but just haven't yet. I should have hopped on the season one reruns, but I didn't really know what the show was about. Thanks to some reccommendations on here I decided to pick up Season One, but just not soon enough.

25 minutes to go! I too, did not watch this show on a weekly basis. I bought the S1 DVD set and watched them all. I'm now an addict!

The episode (#10- Adelle Coffin) where
Spoiler:
Megan commits suicide with Sean by her side, really got to me! I guess the combination of Rocket Man and the circumstances were a strong combination.


I've gone so far as to purchase a UPS battery backup for my DirecTV receiver and DVD/HD recorder, as to not miss an episode! Crazy huh?

Good beginning to the season. The preview for upcoming episodes has me stoked for this season. I'm glad to see they'll be re-visiting some unfinished plotlines.

Oh yeah, thank you XM radio!

Great episode.

You know I never noticed that there weren't any commercials. I was all caught up in the episode.

Great episode

The breastmilk scene and the nanny had me cracking up

The previews looked good too

Was that final song by Rufus Wainwright? Just wondering...

Where was the hot pshrink? I just watched the whole first season and I don't remember them canning her.

Anyhow - great ep. Liked how it concentrated on the three main characters and not McNamara's scary-looking son, Matt. The one storyline I did not like last year involved him.

This is going to be a great season and I cannot wait for Famke to join the cast for the rest of the season. I don't care how many times they show the previews - I must watch them everytime.

Great episode indeed. It's great to have this show back as it is, arguably, the best drama on television. I'm not sure who sang the final song, but it fit the moment perfectly.

I'm not sure I can watch this show right before I go to bed because some of the plastic surgeries get a little hard to watch, especially the facial reconstructive surgery from last night's episode.

Why is Christian still with Gina, even though the baby isn't his?

He is not with Gina, they share parenting responsibilities. She drops off the baby for him to care for and picks him up at a later date. Christian "hired" a nanny & then fired her
Spoiler:
because she was using robotussin to keep the baby quiet.

Great stuff. I knew that Christian's interview would be creative.

Hearing the word 'erection' come from Vanessa Redgrave.

The Plastic Surgery doesn't bother me. My father is a surgeon and he used to look at slides of surgeries on the projector at home when I grew up. Got pretty desensitized to it.

I love how they weave popular music (particularly from the 80s) into this show. They do so well - better than any other show I have ever seen save Miami Vice.
