The writing beats the shit out of House, I'd say it's on par with Soprano's. The ACTING is what really makes it shine. Even when the writing is bad, the actors consistantly make it work.

WIN!
This is like Cabo in your pants.

Shots of nut butter directed at children sounds all kinds of horrible, Historian.

The escape didn't bother me a bit, and here's why: In October I was in the hospital for a week. I went to two movies across the street that week and no one ever noticed. If they did, they never mentioned it to me. I just got up and walked out, they let you wear regular clothes so it wasn't hard to disguise my sick…

Not that anyone will see this, but…
As someone who grew up in serious Bible-belt, Bush-lovin', liberal-hatin Deep South territory [then went to art school in Michigan and lived in pot-smokin, hippie-retirement-community Boulder, CO…] I've done my fair share of country-listening. It's become apparent to me that…
