Dirt 2/27 "This is not your father's hostage situation"

"Oh my God, he killed Kenny!"

The cleaning lady was a lot of fun.

How is it that more people do not watch this show? It is pretty good filler for when Nip/Tuck & The Shield are not on FX.

Does anyone on this board watch at all? I only ask because of the significant lack of threads & discussion.

I've been watching it, as have a couple of friends, and my brother. We like it, we watch it every week, we talk about it. I feel like it's a well-done show, like all the FX shows, even if you don't like the subject matter. I do happen to like the subject matter, though. Not the celebrity angle, but the seedy, selfish, parasitic relationships between all the players. That's good stuff!

I had read something about Courtney Cox just producing the show initially, but she liked it so much she had to star in it too! I say: good move Courtney! She really needed something drastic to change the course of her career after Friends. This show is definitely drastic!

It also doesn't hurt that I think Willa is super hot, so bring on more of her and her weird, deviant behavior! Again, just perfect for FX. You just couldn't do this stuff on any regular network.

The whole "He killed Kenny" thing was just so very wrong and hysterical at the same time.

I think this show is pretty solid. Its not nearly as good as the shield, but its pretty decent.

This last episode was fantastic. When Kenny takes one in the head, I was totally flabbergasted.

When he did not shoot Don, I figured he did not have it in him to shoot anyone, but once I realized his psychosis was triggered when people ignored him, it made sense. That was also a pretty accurate shot to hit him in the forehead as they were both turning to face each other.

I really wanted him to shoot the crying celeb who said "you killed Kenny!"

My favorite part of this show is how it shows the celebs using the tabloids as much as the tabloids use the celebs.

I watch weekly. Haven't missed one yet. There have certainly been some :rolleyes: moments though.

Willa: "What if I WANT you to ___ in my ___?"

It's almost like they're trying too hard to be shocking. Nip/Tuck has more than its share of over-the-top moments, too, but at least they seem to fit in with the show more. With Dirt, sometimes I feel like they're doing it to say "Hey, look how edgy we are."

Maybe I'm wrong. It's just my 2 cents.

Ian Hart's "Don Conkey" is the show, BTW.

I posted in the original Dirt thread but it seems like most people weren't into it. Glad to see there's some of us here that really like it. I"m really impressed with Courteney Cox too. I think she's perfect for the Lucy role.

Willa: "hey, I'm not the one with a 3 inch butt plug in my a$$!" :D

+1 I can't wait for The Shield to be back in a couple weeks, especially from all the previews during Dirt, but until then this show is enjoyable. Has anyone heard how it is doing and if it will be back for another season??

My favorite part has to be the recap each week by Don -- it is too hilarious when he starts saying what has happened previously and then either says if you don't know you just weren't paying enough attention or blah blah blah -- too funny.
