You could have at least included that in the SUBJECT line. Ugh...

Seems to me you're the one focusing on him too much, not the show.

I think the gay and non-gay characters on SFU* are boooooorrrring.

* note that this opinion comes after watching all of S1 (and not bothering to tune in after that).

I like a story whith great production, and if the situation permits, I have no problem with cussing. I like to know what I'm getting into. Too much cussing causes me to lose focus of a show and can be distracting at times. I can handle the Sopranos though, some episodes, do go overboard for me at least they have a good balance.
Sex and the Ciy was a very different show. The cussing and coarse language was all in fun. Plus I liked the dichotomy of the characters(Charlotte would basically never cuss...while Samantha said it ALL). I also think the language didn't distract the show one bit. It was a great series and I loved seeing the characters mature(especially Samamtha).

I'm not. I watched the first 6 episodes. It is a very heavy show - dense material and hard to follow. The acting was superb and it had a very realistic feel but it was just too heavy for my taste.

Yeah "If I like religion..."
I didnt even need to see who started that one.

Hands down, Deadwood.
I pulled a marathon when the DVD came out and man, it was just crazy! I'm glad I watched all of it before season 2 started.
Want proof? Check out the conversation between Al and Wu in episode 10.

Why are you posting here, bashing my threads. As I have stated, if you don't like my threads, or don't feel that you offer any good insight into the discussion, then please don't post in them. Period.
For those complaining that this was a ranking regarding language and not the content of the shows. I am very aware that HBO produces high quality shows that tend to be much more high brow than the average viwer. This is predominently why this was not the addressed as topic for the thread discussion.
