Re: Californication and Tommy Stinson
I think he must know the writers or producers of this show. I know he has had multiple songs on the show (maybe one tonight during the bar scene--I'll have to rewatch). Tonight, I believe, at one point they went to a shot of a billboard, that said "Tom and Kate + 2" (or something like that), and I believe it was maybe a picture of Tommy on the billboard. I will have to re-watch. Does anyone have the Californication soundtrack--I think Tommy's cover of "U can't always get what u want" was on there. The scene where they play "light of day' during the 1st season, was perfect!

Re: Californication and Tommy Stinson
The show is best summed up by the term "mid-life" crisis--which I think the writers have as well. In other words, I pretty much agree with you. It does have some subtle hints of depth and literary tools at work. On the other hand Dexter, which had it's season three premiere tonight, is brilliant!

Re: Californication and Tommy Stinson
It's OK, some people love it--I would say it's an acquired taste.
Re: Californication and Tommy Stinson
It's not a bad show by any means. I think it some ways it has alot in common with "Rescue Me" in the sense that the major point of the show is just watching the trainwreck that is the lead character's (Leary on RM, Ducovney on Cali) life. Both led hedonistic lives, both want their wives & families back, both are basically death warmed over.
It's not a bad concept, just gets a little repetitive at times.
Re: Californication and Tommy Stinson
Rescue Me's another good show. I look forward to a new season finally starting up. Right now FX's got Sons of Anarchy to keep me watching. Nip/Tuck comes back in January. That's another show about watching the trainwreck that is the lead characters lives. I think I must just like depressing, melodramatic, serialized TV.
