I was just talking with my wife about all to good shows on Showtime. Trouble is, we never see them, because we’ve been conditioned to watch the HBO shows. I’ve seen bits of shows. Like Weeds. And I’ve always liked what I saw. But for the life of me, I don’t remember to watch them. I’ve just got to remember that HBO is Sunday, Showtime is Monday.

So tonight, I caught the third episode of the new Californication, with David Duchovny. And I liked it. It’s about writer Hank Moody. Here’s his bio:

Famed novelist & NYC transplant Hank relocates to LA after his acclaimed book is optioned, but it later becomes a crappy romantic comedy, which sparks a horrible case of writer’s block. He’s struggling to get his career back on track with the help of his agent/best friend, raise his pre-teen daughter, all while pining for his ex-girlfriend, who is now engaged to another man. It may sound desperate, but he enjoys life and owns all his various vices — drink, drugs and women — with a refreshing sense of honesty and unapologetic candor. He’s holding it together while falling apart, and he doesn’t mind it one bit.

I guess in episode 2, Hank was offered a job to blog for Hell-A magazine. And in episode 3, part of the plot centers around Hank’s reluctance to continue with the blog. After all, it’s a blog. It’s not real writing. Right? ; )

I guess that’s what caught my attention. Because the main character has a blog. Now if Showtime were smart, it would create a faux blog written by Hank.

Here’s a random observation. The Californication writers must be Howard Stern fans. There was an F, Marry, Kill reference there. And for you Stern fans out there, you know what that means.
