Six feet under, six seasons behind
I really like this show, except for the fact that I spend most of my time wondering what’s going on. Or rather, what’s been going on since I saw it last. First show, the mom is newly widowed. Next show, she’s got a boyfriend. Next show, she’s got a crush on some young guy. Now she’s married to some guy named George. Where did he come from? And the character Michael J. Hall plays - he’s engaged to one girl. Next time I see the show, he’s married and has a kid. Next show, I pick up hints that the wife is now dead. Last night, I find out he’s dead and the first girl he was engaged to is having his baby and apparently there was some hanky-panky with the first wife, whom I thought was dead. Anybody got a Ouija board?

Karla,
Sounds like you are watching the episodes out of order and apparently skipping around from season to season. I reccomend going to the video store and renting the episodes in the correct order. It really IS superb when watched in the right sequence. Now I admit I only saw the first season and it was great … but I just never picked up the subsequent seasons. And also, unless I’m REALLY confused … which is possible … Michael C. Hall actually plays a gay character and shouldn’t have a girlfriend or a wife. (but again, I only watched season 1)
Oh - but if you like Michael C. Hall … try to find Showtime’s “Dexter” … It ran last season, but may be in reruns … anyway best show this decade … period.

I can’t believe anybody watches this show, or any show on Bravo for that matter (except for The Housewives of Orange County, which is worth a look-see just for the massive faux-tata’s). Six Feet Under is just another liberal, commie plot to subvert good Americans into believing people actually live this way. Here in east Texas, people don’t lie, cheat, steal, die, use drugs, participate in alternative lifestyles, get divorced, have extramarital affairs or premarital sex. I say to my fellow pineywoods Christian comPATRIOTS, let’s boycott Bravo so we can keep it that way! The “Word” for today is HIPocrisy. Bravo ain’t HIP, but unlike us, it sure is hypocritical.
