In which I am blindsided by one of Canada's own cultural products...

I recently obtained the first five episodes of the very-Canadian tv show Slings and Arrows through various and assorted underhanded means, and I must tell you all right now: go and watch this series. Download it, buy the DVDs, whatever you need to do, because that show? Is quite the shit. It's hilarious and witty and entertaining and it doesn't

Heh heh you know who recommended that show to me about a year ago? VANESSA. :)

Hahaha, well, what's that saying about how even broken clocks are right twice a day? Seriously, you should listen to us both!

Eh, I've seen bits and pieces of that show, and it didn't really work for me.

Now "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is one wicked show from the one episode I've seen.

[nos4a2no9]

Pfff, you know nothing! And I've never heard of "Philadelphia" - what's it about?

[stealthwise]

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is about a group of idiot friends who hang out with an old guy (Danny Devito) and run a bar.

Forget that shit, though, have you grabbed the first season of Rescue Me yet?

It's AMAZING, isn't it? I fell head over heels in love with Paul again and that was no mean feat, given that I'd never fallen out of love with him...

[nos4a2no9]

It is amazing! And Paul is greatness! Dear god, that one scene at the bar where he was talking to Eddie from accounting and going on about his relationship with Martha...guh. dS didn't always allow him to hit that many notes - Fraser was a complex and nuanced character, certainly, but Geoffery is, well, something else entirely :-)

Oh, that scene is yum! But my favorite bit of Paul Gross acting in the first season is the... how do I put this in a nonspoilery way... the Ophelia scene. You'll know it when you get there.

[nos4a2no9]

Oh, the Ophelia scene! I just watched it last night! And you're right...good god, that man is talented.
