I don't know if any of you loyal readers of mine watch Californication, or if you all even exist, but if you do exist, and don't watch the show, you should start.
The basic premise of the show is that David Duchovny is a self-loathing writer who recently moved from NY to LA, and hates it. Since moving to LA he has ruined his relationship with the woman he loves, and has a daughter with. After that relationship ends and his ex meets a new (much less entertaining) guy, Duchovny becomes a sex addict, what some would call an alcoholic, and a mild drug user. Hilarity ensues.
I have been hard-pressed to find a show that makes me laugh harder than the first seasons of Entourage and Weeds, but I think that Califonication has done it. The first few episodes of this show are probably the funniest episodes of any show I've seen.
The real hilarity about this show, though, is that David Duchovny actually checked himself into rehab somewhat recently, because, apparently, the show isn't that far off from reality.
The cynical, hateful, sarcastic banter and commentary that Duchovny and the other characters supply is easily some of the best dialogue on television. It helps that the show is on Showtime, and therefore can include just about the most foul, offensive things it wants. (That is not to say that the goal of the show is to be as foul and offensive as possible, rather it's just that they need not hold back.)
Check this show out.
