I was worried ep 2 wouldn't hold up but I burst out laughing at one particular scene. This show is going to be awesome. Hopefully channel 10 doesn't spoil it for australian audiences by over-promoting.

right now i'm hooked.

when does it start on FTA here?

This show is awesome, very funny. I think David is perfect for this show.

And the chics!

Starts Monday on Channel Ten, 9:45PM.

Yeah it starts on channel 10 Monday, all the illegal downloads have done some good.

wow gonna only be 2-3 eps behind here. i hope that eventually shows screen here the same night as the US.

it may be 2 (nearly 3) eps behind, but how censored is it going to be? I will be surprised (pleasantly, though over using brackets) if it airs without them cutting nudity or some language.

does ten usually censor a lot of shows? thought it was mainly 7 and 9.

Ok, I understand downloading shows when we're 6 months+ behind and it's getting bumped from bad timeslot to worse... I even understand it when we're a few weeks behind. But is the same night really that big a deal. Are people really that impatient that they can't wait a couple of days or even a week to see something that has only been broadcast on the other side of the world?

Watched the first two and i'm hooked.

shut up chakas, if u can wait... wait


i on the other hand think its a f***ing good show, suck s*** to you for not have seen it :)

If you can download it a week before a local TV station can air it, clearly the local TV stations are doing it wrong.

Plus there are no ads which ruin tv shows. Even if it aired at exactly the same time I'd still leech it.

and for the convenience. I have a show downloaded in 15 minutes. It's advert free and i can watch it when i want, straight after or immediately before watching whatever other show i watch that comes out the same day.

The only tv i watch live is the news.

Pity the ads pay for the show, so leeching the show to avoid ads ends up in the show getting canned and then we all complain that there is nothing good on TV.

and for the convenience. I have a show downloaded in 15 minutes.

You need a faster connection dude :P I hardly even bother queuing/scheduling my downloads any more. Get home from work, fire up torrent for show of choice and it's down and ready to watch by the time my food is heated up in the microwave.

Bit of a golden age we have at the moment really, wonder how long it will last before the networks figure out some kind of protection that actually works.

In the US maybe, australian stations handing over their pittance is just gravy. I purchase good series when they hit DVD and re-watch anyway, so they will get more per-episode out of me than channel 10 pays them per expected viewer.

i only have adsl1+ which is why it takes 15 mins an episode. But that isn't a problem, it's way quicker than i need.

Ad revenue is calculated based on estimated viewer ratings. If you don't have a ratings box in your house, they can't tell what you're watching anyway.

had me in stitches!! lol

and it's down and ready to watch by the time my food is heated up in the microwave

how many watts is the microwave though? maybe natslovr's is less watts than yours, so his dinner isn't quite heated up before his torrents are finished

maybe natslovr's is less watts than yours, so his dinner isn't quite heated up before his torrents are finished

But you're discounting the fact that I'm on a treadmill and natslovr most likely is not.

If it's an hour show and it doesn't start till 9:45pm then I can see a god reason for DLing it...

Maybe i'm just old, but If I dont start heading to bed ~9:30-10 ish I'm wreaked for the next day.

it may be 2 (nearly 3) eps behind, but how censored is it going to be? I will be surprised (pleasantly, though over using brackets) if it airs without them cutting nudity or some language.

The way they've carried on in the ads about how racy and rude it is, they better not cut anything.

I'll give free-to-air a chance to deliver on this one but if they cut anything or f*** up in the slightest, I'm gone. So someone that's seen it will have to watch the FTA one to check for me :)

Just watched the second ep. f***ing LOL with the scene at the table. f***ing priceless. And the scene with the vomiting. HAHA.

8-)

Haven't seen any of this yet, but my girlfriend tells me that one of the main chicks who nuded up in ep1 was Gracie from The Nanny.. any one confirm/deny this?

well, madeline zima is gracie from the nanny and shes in it!

cool, shes gone all elizabeth berkley!!!!!

THATS HAWT

ps she's hot and the look on duchovny's face when he saw her at the house was priceless.

Gawd she's hot!

I was the only one that bursted out.
"OMG IT'S THAT LITTLE GIRL FROM THE NANNY".

And I was the only one excited about it too :(

But f*** she had nice tits.

plus they look real. hot++

Pics or GTFO

Pics here (NSFW): http://www.nudography.com/News.aspx?IDNews=2033

looks like theres lots of nipple in this show. i rikey.

awesome set, just tops.

yeah I've seen both eps, fkn awesome show!!

but you're discounting the fact that I'm on a treadmill and natslovr most likely is not.

heh, picturing Dan on a treadmill...

what a girlie punch

I hope this show runs for many, many seasons.

My verdict: It's entertaining and twisted. I can't help, however, missing Scully.

Ok, it had titties within the first minute so I'm hooked..

PS: Rest of the show was good too.

downloaded and i like.

reallly want to get the next ep, but then i'll be hooked and we've used 50% of our cap in 4days. GAH!~

I've heard impressive things about this show. Apparently they played Peeping Tom, and have made a reference to Eagles of Death Metal!

haah yer this show is so awesome.

mmm, cans awesome (sup gracie)

but i dunno, the show wasnt no entourage or weeds (first ep anyway)

ill keep watching, but im gonna need more than cans to keep me coming back


last edited by Spook at 10:08:24 25/Aug/07

get a hold of ep2 spook, more hilarity ensues. I'm hooked.

ill keep watching, but im gonna need more than cans to keep my coming back

.. Gracie cans is all I need.

OUCH!

The show did serve up a nice selection of jugs, that's for sure.

So is Gracie the 16 year old bird he pwned that is his ex girlfriends new mans daughter? The one that was punching him?

that is correct!

yep

ep3 is out

4000 seeders/6000 peers. wow. popular.

spook summed up my thoughts pretty well

Leeching now.

Tits, swearing, Tits, And Fox Mulder..Ace.

I was waiting for some aliens to show up...even as an STD, it would have been great!!

ep3 is great.

sorry about the rug.

man the best part was all the 80085!!!!!!!!!@# Some pretty funny lines too. I'll definitely give it a chance.

Did anyone watch the FTA episode 1 to see if it was different to the internets version? It had quite a lot of swearing and nudity so I'm guessing it was mostly feature-complete.

FTA = Internets

mercy buckets

This show is f***ing insane!

fade where the hell uget ur torrents from?

I really liked that 3rd ep. Alot diferent from the first two and it looks like the show actually has a bit more to it than the casual sex. Which is good as well.

that assistant chicky... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I can't seriously watch this show without remembering that little girl from "The Nanny". It freaks me out

wow, i didn't realize that was her :S

It's like the FedEx arrow, once you've seen it, you can't unsee it sc00bs.

All the porno stars that you have a bat to were once lil girls (and boys) too.

fade where the hell uget ur torrents from?

Can't tell you. troggles might banish me. but i do suggest you use google. perhaps "Californication S01E03 torrent"

private trackers for the win

qgl group on facebook could sort you out ... ..

spook knows the score...

i'm so over this show now after ep3, hardly any tits at all

crotch punch > back punch

nipple twist.

qgl group on facebook could sort you out ... ..

boo, why is there one of them, it makes us sound weak and effeminate

it enables people to discuss issues that are too controversial for this forum

wtf the show only lasted 35mins. thought it was supposed to be an hour long show :/

its where qgl types hang out in an online forum and discuss things

we needed one with a less authorative dictatorship and better editting facilities

Why do they advertise it as a worldwide stream? Everyone knows we aren't getting it direct from the US.

Only watched the first show (as on tv). Lotsa boobs

As for Mia being Gracie *shudder*

Why do they advertise it as a worldwide stream?

On the TV ads. I assume they use the word "stream" because everyone KNOWS streaming is the Internet, so watching it on TV is the same as watching it on the Internet, AMIRITE?

All the cool people are in the QGL group on Facebook..

^^ and all the REALLY AWESOME people are on the secret qgl forum.

i noticed the secretary from the office (uk version) popped up in the second ep of californication

shes hawt as

How did I know that all these people would start to bitch and moan about this TV show, in the news especially. f*** off and die you losers. IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, DONT WATCH IT!#!# FFS.

Back on topic.... greatest show evar.

The more they bitch the more people will watch it the likelier it is to not get canned.

Right now, based on the fact that it is a show i enjoy immensely, which is aimed at adults and has good characters and dialogue, i expect it to get canned in about 3 more episodes, with the remainder of the season being dragged out over the next 6 months or not shown at all until released on DVD.

My Goodness!

Who would have thought Little Gracie the schoolgirl would turn into uber-vamp!?

Makes me feel Japanese.

she is extremely weird lookin

she has nice tits.

she has nice tits.

and thats all that matters as long as there are paper bags still in the shops.

why waste money on paper bag. just turn out the light.

She's not a bad looker in my books.. mean right hook too.

why waste money on paper bag. just turn out the light.

cause you wanna see the titties?

from news.com.au.

OUTRAGED family groups will be calling for a national boycott of any sponsor of the Ten Network’s drugs, sex and vomit-laden program Californication.

Following last night’s episode - which depicted two characters smoking marijuana and having sex before one vomited - furious community groups have said they are hoping something can be done to get the show off the air.

i hate when these groups try to censor something because they don't believe people should have the CHOICE to watch it or not.

it is already on at 9:30pm with warnings before it is aired about it's content. why are they watching it and/or letting their kids watch it if they are worried about the content.

furthermore, if they aren't watching it, why do they care if other people who CHOOSE to watch it are?

clearly they weren't watching hard enough, they both vomited.

isnt there some christian groups holding candlelight vigils outside the channel ten building in sydney when the show is on? these people need to get a life.

click the link and there is a photo of them.

religion sucks. the end.

also ep 4 is out.

i bet none of them have even watched the show.

r any of them attractive enough to feature in blowjob fantasies? i call jealousy!

imagine how many MORE people will now watch the show thanks to the "vigils" by the boylovers.

haha god loves this show because god created marijuana enduced vomit-sex. Best scene of the year award IMO :P

If the internet did not exist it would be very worrying that a tv station could fold to public (read: s***ty conservative) pressure. I really wish Australian tv stations would take up the kind of service which many American stations already provide - Ad funded streaming off the net. I would gladly make use of such a service (since its so easy to alt-tab when pre-show ads are on :P) and it would be great to not 'STEAL' to see great tv which is somehow denied to us because its so hard to make s*** economically viable when you have as few people as we do to fill up viewership.

Get with the times Australia you f***ing backwards s***hole. (electronically speaking)

Why can't they get it through their thick skulls that they have a choice whether or not they watch it. And as for children watching it, if your kids are up at 9:30 and you don't have enough control to stop them watching it, it is about your parenting skills, not the channels viewing schedule

Fools!

In all seriousness, I think we should organise a group of people to call Channel 10 in support of the show.

In a lot of these situations, they just get a bunch of whining religious types that complain, with the goal of tying up so many of their resources (and essentially costing them money) that it becomes not worth the effort to run the show.

Without clear shows of support the risk is the show will get axed and we'll be back at square f***ing one with more crappy Australian television shows - or worse, we'll end up like US free to air, which is utterly terribly sanitized.

If some of you guys are actually willing to help out with this (ie, at least make a phone call to channel 10 yourself) I'll get a news post up with some details about who to call, etc.

Oh yeh, and check this out (heh I'm impressed that I found that, I read it last year in December)

Yeah, I'd be happy to write a letter/email.

It's all good.

yea hook us up with who to call Trog

It's all good

why bother, they lie about the direct streaming of it, and will more than likely cancel it mid season or move it to 2am no matter how many of you call/email/mail

Ep 3 was a bit dodgy and I thought they were cutting it back, but 4 was great and what this show is all about :]

lol loved the vomit scene. wish it was longer than 40 mins :(

hahaha "40 something" year old was pretty f***able too

thhe bit where they are all at the table and he's got both of the grabbing is crotch was pretty hilarious too

ep4 was the best so far.

the vomit scene was f***ing hilarious. hardest i've laughed since ari fired that guy with eye problems in entourage.

In all seriousness, I think we should organise a group of people to call Channel 10 in support of the show.

Lets go light candles and stand out the front of channel 10's Mt Coot-tha radio tower demanding more tits.

Seriously, there wasn't any at all in episode 4.

yeah, but there were 4 c***s in ep4. i have been missing that since deadwood season3 finished

Seriously, there wasn't any at all in episode 4.

Lies, I saw some in the opening "previously on this show" scenes :p

they keep showing alien tits

they should stop doing that

some of the stuff in this show makes me laugh so much. best show on tv atm imo :)

gold from Blunt Instrument, i think he's saying what we are all thinking

Who do you people think you are? I see you're at it again, coming on all gimlet-eyed and thin-lipped with poor old Network Ten, threatening to boycott any of their advertisers who displease you by spruiking their wares during Californication, and all because the opening scene featured a dream sequence of David Duchovny being orally pleasured by a winsome nun.


You know, if you don't like it, you got a perfectly good censor button right there on your remote. It's called the off switch. In fact, you got a whole bunch of them. Turn over or turn off because I got some sour news for you preachy gimps, not everyone is as easily offended as you. In fact, some of us are vastly amused and entertained by Mr Duchovny smoking dope and having sex and generally behaving in manner we'd all like to become accustomed to.

rest of the awesome article here:

JB's open letter to moralising nimrods and Godbotherers everywhere.

Not really related, but was just watching Channel 10 - they censored the bit in tonights episode

Apu says: "But this is the peak hour for stoned teenagers buying shiny things!"

They took out the word "stoned".

Thanks Channel 10, keeping us safe.

oh yeah,10 censors simpsons half to death, thats nothing new

this show has me totally hooked. the characters are so rich...

this week's episode sure did make me LOL

god damn it i want to see it already !!! %75 left

i started this last night but had to stop since my parents are visiting. i didn't think it was suitable for them. Guess i'll just have to double-ep it next week after they leave.

i think your parents need to harden up :p

The English teacher was a classic

prolly. they r ABCers, so even the swearing in weeds was a bit much. when his agents wife was begging to be f***ed in the arse i thought i might wait it out.

his radio appearance will comedy at its best. So true.

where are the breasts!@

His language is so dreamy.

Unfortunately, I think that the censors and government are in the same bed where this show is concerned. The majority of people complaining about the show have a larger say at times of elections.

It isn't Big Brother or Sunrise, elections/voting doesn't determine the outcome in this situation necessarily.

I think it's actually NineMSN.

I would have thought that any complaints from family groups or christian groups would have backing from the gov because of their sheer numbers. You could prolly include oldies on the 'lets ban cali' bandwagon too.

What day is this aired in US ?

Monday nights on Showtime.

Nice to see Henry Rollins make an appearance last week.

ep 5 so good. This show is quickly filling the void left by the entourage mid season break

yup, another quality ep

loved it;

I don't think I've ever laughed as much as I did after seeing Hank and Charlie having a threesome with that chick at the end of ep 10. Was not expecting that.

f***ing LOL!

hahaha yeah, that was hilarious! Plus the titties were back

man this show is solid gold and i find it funnier and more engaging than curb. they are both quality shows i just like the continuing plot with californication.

another awesome ep. but that f***ing stealing bitch.
