One of my favorite new shows this year has been Showtime's Californication. I must admit that I started watching it mostly because it was on right after Weeds, but I ended up loving the show's inaugural season (and, as much as it pains me to admit, it's so much better than this season of Weeds, sad). The show is not the kind of thing you want to watch with your parents, just a warning, but it's hilarious and smart and sassy.

Looks like David Duchovny's return to TV is for real: Showtime has ordered a second season of his new show, "Californication," after just four episodes.
The first episode drew in a decent 550,000 viewers, but the following three episodes have done better, and about 90 percent of the audience for "Weeds" is sticking around to watch the plight of Hank Moody. Ratings data also shows the series appealing equally to both men and women.

Happy day! The return of "Weeds" — clearly a favorite here — is finally upon us tonight, as is the premiere of the highly anticipated David Duchovny comedy, "Californication."
I've chosen to remain blissfully unspoiled about the goings-on in the season premiere of "Weeds."
