Six Feet Under

Hopefully, all of you were able to catch the [third] season premiere of Six Feet Under tonight. Easily the most introspective drama on TV the past couple of years, the show touches on every aspect of the human condition. I must admit, I was a little scared when they flashed the white screen for Nathan Fischer tonight. Thankfully, it turned out to be a 15-minute ride through his experience with the bright light from which he emerged a healthy and more self-aware father.

Can anything touch HBO’s year-round lineup? *The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Oz, Mind of the Married Man, Sex and the City, Curb Your Enthusiam, * and Real Time with Bill Maher. Nothing comes close.
