The timing for this show was good, lucky really, with the strike but now the strike is over, more competition for my eyeballs like AI.<BR/><BR/>I liked Huff a lot too. Showtime doesn't give their shows enough time to catch on.<BR/><BR/>The casting is spot on. Lots of sexy foreigers besides Paul (Sophie is an Aussie as is Laura). Just when I feel like I'm getting tired of a character, they open up another door into something more interesting.<BR/><BR/>Ironically I've found Paul's sessions with his therapist to be the least compelling....but I'm sure I'll love that one this week too.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03675532548423293798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-35679503503897929692008-02-21T12:44:00.000-08:002008-02-21T12:44:00.000-08:00éh?(in Canadian)éh?<BR/>(in Canadian)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-74130651893072445912008-02-21T12:07:00.000-08:002008-02-21T12:07:00.000-08:00A BÜCK SHÖRT?A BÜCK SHÖRT?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-41217949555062766022008-02-21T11:24:00.000-08:002008-02-21T11:24:00.000-08:00What, no flash cuts, no floating cameras, no extre...What, no flash cuts, no floating cameras, no extreme closups, no grainy frames, no flashing lights, or jungle drums?
