Shameless + House of Lies + Californication

Luck -on demand. I watched all episodes from start to latest in one day. I like it....albeit I am sometimes expecting Dustin to say "two hundred forty seven two hundred forty seven" aka Rain Man.

FTFY Geeker - though I'm not the biggest House of Lies fan, it's ok, but find myself switching back to HBO to get mah Kenny Powers fix and then not even watching HoL on DVR.

Shameless is the bomb

Any chance you will be at Del Mar during the first weekend of August?

I don't know what others think, but last night's episode of Luck, was, in my opinion, far and away the best of the series, and really catapulted the show into the full HBO standard quality we've come to expect. I was fine with it before, enjoyed it, great racing scenes, etc - but last night was the best, and should really hook viewers that might have been loose on the tether.

It was an o.k. episode. Predictable, yet o.k.


Now we have a show that is the Sopranos at the race track. Yawn. This is what happens when you are more concerned with style over substance. A big shiny production.

I'm worried about the young kid that got clunked in the head.

He and "Big Puss.y" Bompensiero are betting on races together in heaven.

Oy, he's dead? I was hoping not.

My Steve Crist look-a-like who famously pronounced Dale Earnhardt dead to the world isn't gaining any board traction ... but I'm fully commited to spamming his pic everytime our great sport loses something or someone.

Steve Crist can be heard at 21 seconds in.

Couldn't agree more. Loved it.

This episode was so full of syrup and sap that I will find it hard to rerun..
all this relationship crap..dustin and his creepy lady...escalante getting on with the little boy...the pregnancy thing and the remolding of escalante as a good guy....not for me

maybe the AHA and PETA should spend one day as a claims adjuster for equine insurance. Maybe they'd gain some perspective.

I wish the producers had balls, so because some PETA morons get mad they cave? I have horses that have reared up and flipped over, maybe I should quit my job. I guess there will no longer be any horse shows or movies, a horse might get hurt. This is so ridiculous, if any of those animal rights wackos REALLY knew horses, they would know they get injured in their stalls, in the pastures, in trailers and just plain walking down the road.

Luck Shut Down For Good

Needless to say, this type of publicity is the last thing this sport needs.
