i almost grabbed this, but then saw the "husband" and "love interest" lines. i love british tv, but wow, if their tv shows are any indication of real-life attitudes, you must be able to count the number of faithful spouses in the country on two hands. unfaithfulness seems to be a staple of uk shows. i've been watching them for many years, and it's not just the amount of "cheaters" i see regularly. no, what really gets me more is the casual attitude about it by the offenders. you rarely see anyone agonize over such a decision, it's almost always very sudden and casual, as if they're just cheating on a diet or something. sorry, don't mean to ramble about it, it's just one of those things that's puzzled me for a long time. |

@cthulhusaves - are you f***ing stupid? the show is american. go rant about the uk elsewhere. moron on another note i dont care who's guest starring in the show. i aint watching a show about finding the humour in cancer. just controversial for the sake of it. i hope they all get cancer. |

obviously " eruza"s' higher brain function has been affected by cancer and he has yet to know it. my differential diagnosis to be on the safe side would be : cancer of the frontal lobe or social aggression from genetic interbreeding of the familiar gene pool. treatment : none, but keep away from keyboards, humans and small animals ! |

i watched it as well and found it very funny indeed, and i wanted to see a full frontal shot of laura linney (saw half a right breast). also, i liked the idea of a pool in the front yard and i was hoping that miserable old dear across the road would get run down whilst standing in the middle of the road. |

file quality - excellent! (does anyone even bother to let us know this anymore? *sigh*....) show - also excellent! well written, well done! set in minneapolis - for those who know or care - a nice change of pace from the usual cities, and an homage to those of us transplanted who once resided in the great state of minnesota itself. definitely a us city and a us show! can't speak to *other* us or uk shows regarding the strange post on infidelity... but if y'all want a uk show which honors a sweet & devoted *married couple*, try "rev."! no matter what antics ensue, at the end of the day the marriage shines through! showtime's done it again - a bittersweet, comedic, heartwarming show with an awesome cast! enjoy! i know i did and i will! |

"uk" stands for united kingdom, which is made up of countries such as england, scotland, wales etc... so your dumb statement is akin to saying "usa the fat town" |
