Inlander:
It only started screening on American pay-TV about four weeks ago, so you'll have to, uh, "acquire" it some "other way".
EDIT: and then sometimes you get a scene like this which is basically just four minutes of Ricky Gervais being a dick:

It's amazing how variable the show is - while maintaining a uniformly high standard.
Scandanavian War Machine:
man, I was really looking forward to watching this show but I moved to a new place the week before it premiered and I haven't got tv at my new house yet. I love Louis CK's comedy, and the previews for the show looked pretty great.
also, he was on The Daily Show a while back and he was great. At one point, Jon Stewart seemed legitmately scared that they'd get shut down or something, because of what Louis CK was saying.
Ozymandias:
--- Quote from: ALoveSupreme on 15 Jul 2010, 05:43 ---I think the monologue Rick Crom gave in the second episode (regarding the use of the term "faggot" in any context) is one of the better moments in television I can remember.
However I will say it has one of my least favorite "theme songs," if that's what you would call it, ever.
edit: I figured I would add the link for anyone who doesn't watch the show:

Okay, but he's wrong. Faggot is an English word and the British and its colonies didn't burn people. Rather, the word used to be a pejorative for old, unpleasant women (from the term "faggot-gatherer") which, considering other terms for gay men, provides a much more reasonable etymology.
smack that isaiah:
I really like this show, altho the episode with Ricky Gervais is unfortunately my least favorite yet (and I typically love Gervais. It's just that that role didn't do it for me).
I hadn't seen Louis CK in anything else, but I think I'll try to track down his HBO series and watch that while waiting between each Tuesday night.

I've been rereading Lord of the Rings, and multiple times, Tolkien (who was British) refers to getting kindling as "gathering a couple faggots."
just sayin.
