That's really too bad about Nip/Tuck. I had caught a few episodes of season 1 on television when it first came out. Not sure why I stopped watching. I think it was a scheduling conflict back before I had TiVO or whatnot. I really liked what I saw of the show. Bummer that it went downhill. Like Heroes downhill? Or a slow descent?
Not downhill. It was more like the rug being pulled out from under you, and you not realizing it was gone right away. I just kept watching, and then suddenly realized, "What a minute! This SUCKS! And it has BEEN sucking for a long time now!"
