anyone else watching this besides me and pitchie?

it\'s on Mondays at 10pm on Showtime. just debuted last week, so it\'s only 2 episodes. hop on now.

i think it\'s got a lot of potential. the characters are very likable, it\'s got Kevin Nealon, and the brilliant opening sequence alone is enough to keep you watching. the kid (Shane Botwin, played by Alexander Gould, who played Nemo in Finding Nemo) is very smart and hilarious..

the first couple of episodes seem to have moved pretty fast, but again, i\'m liking this show so far, and definitely recommend it. check it out.

Get out! Thanks Dave. So being a DVD moron, if I download can I just play it on the computer. I don\'t have a DVD burner.

PS: Check the map on calendar for Puppethouse-Saturday before everyone shows up at Josh\'s!

The concept sounds tacky, though I\'m sure I would be getting hooked into it if I had cable (or expanded cable that includes Showtime). I\'m glad there are still shows in production outside of the reality television category. I\'m sure the show would be more likely if the mom was a pot smoker, rather than some unlikely dealer (though I do know networks of successful middle-aged people that come together for pot).

I\'m sure the mom lives in another perfect neighborhood like in all the tv shows, where middle class families supposedly live in beautiful and leafy upper middle class neighborhoods. One aspect of tv and movies I can\'t stand these days is the unrealistic nature of the characters. Everyone has a particular look/physique and lives in a perfect house. The characters are so unrealistic and scripted that I can\'t seem to relate to them as well as I could connect with characters from older tv and movies.

while they do have a pretty nice house, the opening sequence (which i called \'brilliant\' before) kind of backs up what you\'re saying, al.. in a nutshell, it depicts how everyone is exactly the same - no variety at all. everyone\'s house looks exactly the same, they all drive the same SUV, leave for work at the same time every morning, walk out of starbucks with their latte in one hand and cell phone in the other, all wearing the same business suits, everyone jogging around their neighborhood, wearing the same jogging outfit, etc, etc... it\'s really something.

Nope, I\'m living in Oakland (I\'m proud to announce that my share of rent + utilities is slightly under $400!) without cable so I can save a crapload of money and someday live like the ****s. Bay Area homes are so expensive and uncomparable to almost any other regional housing market, though my choice to work in the investment management field should make things easier when I do decide to buy a tiny, over-priced shack in the future. Tiny homes with bars on the windows in the worst neighborhoods in Oakland probably start at close to $500,000.
