Anybody else here a regular viewer (user)?

I loved the first season, thought it was one of the best single seasons of a tv show I've ever seen. Like the next season a little less, and the following one even a little less than that. But the couple eps I've seen from this season look promising. The show really needed a change of scenery and some new characters.
And yeah, it's so wrong in so many ways. It often tries too hard to be shocking, but it's just so damn well done that I can overlook it. It's like if Tarantino directed Two Girls One Cup.
(okay, maybe that's not the right analogy)

I loved the first two seasons, but it's been downhill since then pretty much. And now I lost FX, but the only thing I am really pissed about is losing Rescue Me. Now there's a show...

Sounds like nobody is watching the current season but me.
I actually got into the show a little late - second season? Should really go back and watch the first one.

I really dug seasons 1 and 2, as mentioned, but its gotten way too wacky, hasn't it? I mean, meth and carjacking and banging 17 year olds and Ecstasy overdoses and so on and so forth...actually, when it's written it sounds better.
I used to tune in & hope for a Kimber pantyass shot - rare nowadays. And I can't stand looking at Julian's eyebrows any longer. I just can't. Either kill him or his eyebrows off.

first two seasons were great.
This season has been meh.
i love Rescue Me, not a huge fan of last season.
Shield still tops the list of FX shows

"After much thought into this, I have finally come to a conclusion as to why the ‘Meet the Spartans’ commercial is so funny:
It is an interesting choice to have Sanjaya sing ‘I’m not gay,’ as his final words on earth. As he is plummeting into a seemingly bottomless pit, he does not say ‘dear god no,’ ‘I love you mom,’ or even simply ‘argh.’ He instead takes the moment to reaffirm to the world, in spite of their doubts, that he is not a homosexual. Not only that, but he continues to sing, despite falling to his certain death. The distinct lack of plausibility of this situation is what produces giggles from our mouth. It is the antithesis to the belief that ‘it’s funny because it is true.’"

i've seen a few episodes and this
sounds about right. pretty fun show. one of the eps i saw dealt with the dark-haired surgeon's sex addiction. he went to a session in full-on sam malone mode and picked up a hottie. he kicked her out afterwards but in doing so gave a great speech about fuck the guilt we associate with stranger sex and in this brief moment on earth we should feel so lucky having experienced the feeling of two, hot naked bodies rubbing against each other now please take your shoes and get the fuck out.Nip/Tuck is so disgusting, outrageous, ridiculous
We go 0 to Dennehy in three seconds or less.

Ha ha! They are bad, but not nearly as bad as his son Matt's eyebrows. That kid creeps me the fuck out.

Very entertaining show. Just when you think they've thought of every crazy situation, they bring in something else. Cannibalism!
This season has been better than the last couple, since they've fully accepted the fact that they're an over-the-top farce, not a heady serious drama. The "Hearts And Scalpels" show-within-a-show has been great. I also love how they add and remove major plot lines at random. Like what happened to that publicist they had earlier this season? Or the chick from Wayne's World? Or the Ass Bandit?

Very true.
or Kimber's new porn career, or Matt's whereabouts (thankfully dropped for now), or Portia de Rossi's character...
I'm just hoping that Rosie O'Donnell doesn't make any more appearances!

She's getting repetitive, but it's still fun. Cmon, they ran her over with a motorcycle and had a condor attack her. It's like a non-cartoon South ParkI'm just hoping that Rosie O'Donnell doesn't make any more appearances!

I think I finally caught up. Have a few weeks where I missed the show. This season has been kind of crappy. It seems like it is turning around a bit now. I almost gave up on it after the first 2 eps of the season.
As was stated above, I can't wait for the Shield to return.

True - it's always fun watching Rosie get maimed. Her voice is still so grating that it takes any potential pleasure away.

My friends used to love this, so I would go over to this one girl's apartment on Thursday nights or whenever it came on and we would chug aristocrat/rock star 50/50 mixes and yell at the people on the tv during nip/tuck. the hour always flew by, but i would always have to puke when i got home. that was years ago, the last few seasons have been unwatchable. i don't think my little brother even watches it now, and he was the biggest fan of the show i knew.

Anybody see it last week?
Christian whipped out his package at an uppity social group's dinner to help his chances of becoming their plastic surgeon.
Show's out of hand!

Last week? How about last night?!
That creepy kid with fucked up eyebrows fucked his sister. Cue on-screen internet research on incest birth defects.
You're right - this show is outta' hand.

No doubt. Just caught up with that episode. Very contrived coincidental incest - watch for lobster boy 2!
Then there was the bit about the mercury poisoning.
