I tried, really tried, to get friends and aquaintances to watch this show while it was on, but even those who had HBO weren't that interested. Thought it was damn funny myself. Great acting by Lilley, in every role. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV .... Smart (TV) People on Ice!
