Title: Showtime\'s "Californication"
Post by: ChrisPitch on August 14, 2007, 12:25:25 pm
Saw the pilot and it\'s definitely worth a watch. It airs after ****s. A synopsis:
Californication is a Showtime 12-part mini-series production created by Tom Kapinos and starring David Duchovny as Hank Moody, a troubled novelist whose obsessions with sex and drugs interfere with his personal and professional lives, as well as the relationships with his ex-girlfriend Karen (Natascha McElhone) and daughter Becca (Madeleine Martin).

This show is awesome. Funny dialogue, a pretty good plot twist (in the episode I saw).
Dachovny is great at delivering passive aggressive one liners.
Does "12 part mini series production" translate into "if this does well, we\'ll pick it up full time"?

I loved the scene when he was getting groped under the table by his blind date and the 16 year old daughter of his ex\'s new fiancee... then ends up throwing up on the new artwork.
He sort of has a Charles Bukowski thing going. It\'s great.

I think this might have been the best of the six so far. A great balance of humor and emotion, which this show seems to do well.

Another solid episode in a show that\'s earning more points every week.

i watched this show last night for the first time. And I really now remember why i was sooo in love with David Duchovny in high school. I was really surprised to find out the creator of the show was Tom Kapinos....(one of the creators/producers of dawson\'s creek, who often got overshawdowed by kevin williamson\'s name..) Needless to say, a far departure from the teen melodrama.

i\'m a big fan of this show. didn\'t think i would be, but duchovney\'s character is great, the guaranteed set of purty b00bies every week is great and and the writing is top notch!

Solid ending for a show that had a great debut season, though I\'d still rate last night\'s finale in the middle of the pack.

The suit seeks a permanent injunction barring Showtime and the other defendants from using the title "Californication" for the show, damages and restitution and disgorgement of all profits derived by the defendants.
In July 2007, Kapinos told reporters at a Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills that he first heard the term in reference to Oregon.
"Apparently in the \'70s there were bumper stickers that said \'Don\'t Californicate Oregon,\' because Californians were coming up there, and I just thought it was a great, great title for this show," said Kapinos.
