"Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding" aired on Showtime last year, but it's not available on DVD. Comedy Central has also picked that up to air next year (woo!). And I can't believe that he was here in Richmond in October and I had no idea!

The third season had some even more enjoyably darker stuff, such as Titus taking on his niece (cousin?), and discovering she was molested when she was younger. The way they deal with it isn't exactly legal, but it's fun. And that's another thing I enjoyed about the show- it allowed its characters to be human without making them caricatures or unlikable. It helped that the great Stacy Keach anchored the show. Whatever happened to Chris Titus, anyway? Did he go back to the stage? I agree, this was a fun show.

But yeah, loved this when it was on, loved it again, much like Greg the Bunny. At least Fox gives these weirdo shows a chance, even if they kill them early.

The episode where they think the father died is memorable to me for Erin's monologue (where it turns out she misinterpreted Christopher's vague message to terrible results). My only complaint about the show was that I didn't feel that Cynthia Watros got used effectively in the show, though that's a complaint I frequently make about funny women (pretty much every time I see Bonnie Hunt in a movie I feel her talents were under-utilized).
