SHORT TAKES ...

Welcome back to: Six Feet Under. This season's premium episode was better than anticipated, especially the program's customary introductory death scenario reminiscent of Edgar Lee Master's Spoon River Anthology. This week, a college student met his death as he plunged off his dorm building under the influence of LSD. ('60 flashbacks anyone??) Each cause of death is unique and unexpected and always lends a recurring thread into the weave of the story line. Also, the fate of Nate's missing wife, Lisa was resolved - as her drowned body washed ashore. It's good to have something worthwhile to fill the Soprano's 9:00 a.m. slot.

Also, Showtime's Penn & Teller: Bullshit has some interesting commentary on such hot topics such as Recycling, P.E.T.A, and the Bible, that makes the opaque, accepted viewpoint transparently fallacious.

I LOVE MY PREMIUM CHANNELS - MOVIES, ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING, AND NO COMMERCIALS - worth every penny!
