News travels fast. Unless there's traffic

Following good COMEDY CENTRAL spirit Dog bites man seems to open each episode with the words: In february 2006 a documentary crew began following a local news team from KHBX Spokane. Both of the two first episodes are nice highclass-comedy folllowing the footsteps of BBC's The Office. At the same time as the release of Dog bites man HBO managed to surface the comedy of Lucky Louie. A mildly amusing but nevertheless lightweight comedy, to a certain degree resting on using nearly more than all of the conservative networks spooky the seven dirty words. Offcourse meaning more of the we-say-what-we-want formula. And looking at the shows details on the net gives us: Rated TVMA: ADULT CONTENT, NUDITY, GRAPHIC LANGUAGE, STRONG SEXUAL CONTENT. But this is only enough to keep the head above water. It's still a bit early to give a final verdict since i've only seen the pilot (S01E01). Offcourse this can become really good despite it's a Everybody loves Raymond with dirty words.

Bbesides that, like i posted last time, there seems to be lesser visual physical violence and more visual portrayed skin. Meaning more sex and sexual encounters than ever. So speaking of and having sex on the screen seems to be more in the wind than ever. And while waiting for series like The L word to continue i found the three part BBC-drama of
The Line of beauty. Presented as:

This outsider's journey into the heart of the beautiful and seductive world of the social elite bristles with emotion, drama and social commentary. Full of style and wit, it is a richly textured coming-of-age story set in London during a ruthless decade.

A somewhat seriouse gay drama (in BBC's modern drama section) revolving the
hypocrite conservative upper class of the english soceity in the eighties. A mix of Tipping the velvet and Queer as folk one might say. With good casting and a very nice and accurate mise-en-scene staged by the mastodont BBC.

well, gotta run again.....i'll be back to edit the ending here...........which no seems a bit in the air....
