Showtime has Shameless which is entertaining with a Bundy/Family Guy dystopian vibe

I forgot about Rome. That was excellent, too.

It all started with "Dream On" for me and HBO.

Yup, Dream On was a pioneer in cable shows. Loved the boss played by Lenny of Laverne and Shirley.

I think Showtime started their made for cable TV with Bizarre, John Byner's variety show that had Super Dave Osbourne. Wasn't real funny, but lots of gratuitous toplessness.

"Loved the boss played by Lenny of Laverne and Shirley."

That was a great show. A few years before it's time though.

I wish you had been a few years before my time. A few hundred...

ow that “True Detective” has set its cast for season two (Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Taylor Kitsch and Kelly Reilly), the stars are finally starting to open up about the show’s hotly anticipated return.

In an interview with Playboy, Vaughn admits that he’s not feeling particularly pressured by the prospect of following Woody Harrelson’s and Matthew McConaughey’s acclaimed performances. “[Creator] Nic Pizzolatto is such a great writer, and so much of this is driven by his stories,” Vaughn says. “I thought Woody and Matthew did an exceptional job with the first season. This one’s very different, though. It’s a totally different story, with its own characters. The thing that’s consistent is the richness of the characters and the quality of the material.”

The season’s new setting has a lot to do with the difference in tone, according to Vaughn. “That was Louisiana. This is a California-based story, and it was kind of birthed from here. A lot of it is set in Los Angeles.”

Vaughn plays Frank Semyon, a man in danger of losing his criminal empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner. “I really like my character. Nic is so great about investigating characters and their complexities in an authentic and engaging way,” he tells Playboy. “I want to watch this show not because I’m in it but as a fan of the material.”

The “Wedding Crashers” star originally met Pizzolatto because of a completely different project, but the pair apparently hit it off: “I was developing a movie version of ‘The Rockford Files’ and met with Nic about writing it. He was really enthusiastic but was already working on a crime drama set in Los Angeles, and he gracefully said it was best for him to focus on ‘True Detective,'” Vaughn recalls. “Then he reached out to me about doing that series, and I was beyond flattered and thrilled to collaborate with him. I was happy to work with Colin Farrell too, whom I’d never worked with before.”

Black Sails in on Stars and sorry you don't like it Ecat. I love the history around it and hearing them discuss other ports of call. Plus there is some fantastic looking exotic ass in it.
