Of course.

Now "I" take over the TV at 10.00pm every Sunday night (we are an hour ahead of EST).  No more "Six Feet Under" or "Desperate Housewives" nonesense.

I was actually kind of excited about that show, but I don't have a TV in my room.



Which I'm actually beginning to not miss.

If it is any good it will come out on DVD and I will rent it and not have to put up with the HBO crap movies and one big commercial for itself.

Your Eagles get to put a whooping on my boys in November.  Who knows, maybe our 27th ranked defense is better since we cleaned house...:huh (or not..) ;)

This series is excellent. imho, the best HBO series since the Sopranos.

Seen all 3 episodes so far, hooray for I-Control.

I thought Caligula was a more representative and substantive adaptation of true Roman life.  It is an inspired film that shows depth and suspense.  The portrayals showed incredible depth and substance.

Discovery is also running a week all about Rome.  Last night was the engineering episode.  It was quite fascinating.

I dunt get HBO, but will probably get the DVD(s) when it(they) become(s) available.
