''Six Feet Under'' will be light and wacky again
Only five more months until Nate and David and Claire reinhabit our lives--and pump some embalming fluid into the less lively. The article above promises interesting developments during season four.
Meanwhile, HBO's signature comedy series is coming to an end; did anyone else see Sex and the City last night? It sounds sick, but giving Samantha cancer was a master stroke. All four characters are growing up just in time for the end of the series. Carrie's Catch-38 was well played out, and Miranda's honeymoon showed that even she has some learning to do. I really hope Carrie realizes that her little speech to Charlotte was true--if she wanted kids so much, she'd already have had them. Petrovsky is the mature man she's been waiting for her whole life. And his accent...who wouldn't want to wake up to that?
One more HBO show: Bill Maher is back! His first show in three months was mostly Al Sharpton, Ron Silver, and Darrell Issa shouting at one another about Iraq...it's sad when Darrell Issa, AKA Father of the California Recall, is the voice of reason on your panel. Bill made some excellent points--he and I agree about how big a deal it was the Bush lied about the reasons for going to war, and that it's deeply disturbing that the President takes pride in not reading the newspaper--but he's going to have to find more cooperative panelists if the new season is going to be as successful as the last.
