I also have to give a bit of respect to Showtime for trying to follow in HBO's footsteps---Weeds is pretty damn good and now Californication---interesting.....<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('398','Ashleigh'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('398','Ashleigh','I have to agree with you that HBO is at the top of my list of Best Networks but you missed one major kudos, which for me makes them better than all the rest by far----They create great TV without any commercials and shows are actually an hour or half an hour respectively.
