I am. It'll give me something to watch this summer. I think it's eventually going to be an 'over the top' show like Nip/Tuck, but I'm always going to watch. :)

Very much so!

So how long has it been since this show was on the air? It seems like a VERY long time. I barely remember the last plot lines.

Is that supposed to be "go to the Fx website"? Can't quite make out what you're saying.

Good to have the show back. I think it stumbled somewhat last season but it's still a good show. Hopefully they can sustain it for 22.

Has it been that long?? Maybe it doesn't feel that way because I caught all of their mini episodes that FX aired a little while back.
