Well, Don Cheadle did just win a Golden Globe for the show. So along with the ratings being up, that certainly helped.

Doug the Gug....What a douchebag.
I did when Guggenheim was getting his prostate massaged and then was expecting it again before the black chick had security attack him.
to Monica's little lesbian encounter with the Vegan chef. Although I hate her. She's such a bitch.

I'll give it 2 more episodes to turn around or I'm out as well.
Like others have said - all the characters are scum. Not only don't I like them, I find them fucking irritating.
They make Doug the stupidest fuck every - he's essentially the Runkle (Californication) or this show. He's stupid and stupid things happen to him.

I didn't like this episode all that much but Damon is the man. I like that he has no problem playing an asshole version of himself.

It's usually great when a celebrity can play himself as a total dick, but with this series he ends up being just another unlikeable piece of shit - so it doesn't really add anything to the show.
In any case, the series isn't going anywhere and has no redeeming qualities - so I'm out.

They certainly implied that he did.
I enjoyed the episode. I'm liking this show more this season compared to last.

I don't understand how they can make Kristen Bell such an unlikable character. Talk about playing against type. I think I'm pretty much done with this show. It doesn't seem to be going any place and I hate all the characters on it. It's also almost never funny.
I need to remember to cancel it from my DVR.

I absolutely love her. I've met her and shes extremely nice. And this episode I was just like...man I fuckin hate her in this. I never thought I'd think that. Props to her for branching out...but geez... this is getting tiring to watch.

Lisa Edelstein, taking every offer she can to act in lingerie on screen.

I'd like to know not just the ratings, but what personality types really enjoy this show?
I'd think Bernie Madoff might be a fan, but can't think of too many others. Maybe Congress.

Yes, I wonder why I keep watching this and Californication. They're both horrible shows, but for different reasons. Maybe I'll finally stop after this season, although it really *is* getting hard to like anyone on this show.
