It was a nice opening for the new season. They have pulled off a good premiere. It has set up some good story lines. More comments are always welcome.

Yes it did. I wasn't sure how this show was going to come back, but I think they did a pretty good job with setting up things for a successful season while transitioning from last season...

Yeah, a good opener but it is going to be very difficult for it to replicate the great story of last season.

@uncertaingod.

yeah, that will be tough...

I didn't even know it was playing again, after I saw this post - I went hunting for it!! I really liked this show, DD was awesome, I loved the one-liners in this show

David does a great job. This is one of the funniest shows on TV. It looks like we will see the crazy blonde bi-chick next week. Now that should be good.

I watched the first episode, I dunno, maybe I'm used to Entourage humor (Jemery Piveny aka Aire) now but I didn't find it overly interesting. The first episode was kinda boring and I found his daughter to be annoying.

What did ya'll think?

This week was a lot more funny. And it seems to be getting better. Yes the daughter is annoying, but I can overlook that.

Second episode was good and at least they didn't waste any time giving Hank a hook to not move back to New York.

So far I like the second season better than the first. I'm going to share this with my sweetie and if he likes it, I'll grab the first season (didn't save it last year) and it'll give us something other than endless cop/crime shows to watch.

I like it more and more. I'm glad that is more politically incorrect and more about real life. Still there are some things that could get better. I hope to see the next episodes

From the preview it seems the next episode will be more interesting.

i think hank's daughter is going to read the book mia stole and will recognize that it is her dad's writing.....atleast i hope so

I think you are correct parm. next week should be interesting.

I've seen next week's episode... a very good episode where things change in dramatic ways.

I should add I'm enjoying this season. wasn't sure where they would go, but its working out.

yeh it's working, just not the same magic as season 1.

a lot of shows tend to be like that now days, really strong first seasons and then it keep falling until it just turn weird or boring. I hope it makes it through season 2 with just the same spirit and magic as season 1.

well last nights episode was great, and it looks like Hank is about to go back to his old ways next week.

Yup, last nights episode was brilliant, and people wonder why I don't have dinner party's...

i have already seen next week episode Yes it is out already go get it and its one of the best episode lol

well to keep the show alive they have to split Hank from his love, else what's left to do? So like Becka I just sit and wait that something will happen to fuck it up.... and finally it came. Still got the feeling this season won't be as good as season 1, but I keep hoping it will.

I'm doing a 180 here. First season seemed to have been focused more on his problems as a writer, problems at home, quest to regain his wife's love; which he did in the final episode.

Second season seems to be more into his sexual exploits, his uncontrollable cheating and seeming disregard for the consequences they cause. His remorse seems false.

Since I lived with a man like that (for way too long) it's a real sore spot for me and getting worse with every episode. I've removed it from my favorites and will no longer watch it.

I don't find much humor in cheating and lying and the whole "mouth rape" thing (IMNSHO) was way over the top.

Sorry folks....

I actually think this season has been less about sex than the beginning of the first season was, and he has had more morals (although that is truly relative).

But I certainly have an idea about where you are coming from.

I guess I saw more of my ex's behavior this season (only watched the first four) than last, Whatever the case; I'm done :|

now it is actually getting good.

devaasha, Hank never cheated.
He slept around when he wasn't with Karen yes, but ones back with her he never slept with another woman.
It's major differences in just cheating or sleeping around when not being in a relationship.

Now that is very true.

I just saw the season finale. Another good season, although not as good as the first. Anybody know if this show has been renewed? It wasn't wrapped up as nicely as the first season was...

I dont know man, this season really suck, stinks bad....

and holy! heckes Lou seem to have died but I doubt it

it sucks the cliffhanger after episode 11 already showed lou is still alive

I've seen the last episode. Lou may of may not die :) I won't spoil it for you!

the cliff hanger could be just a subconcious thing like with dexter and his father

Errr what u guys talking about how could u have known that? the final epi for this season Already out?

Yeah, the episodes have been available a week early onDemand from some cable and satellite providers all season. That's why I haven't been able to discuss much here... I don't want to spoil it for others or accidently include info from a newer episode. Torrents for the advance episodes are probably out there...

The season finale is very good. I watched it OnDemand and I think it ends very well, and leaves it open for a new season if they want it. Well worth watching again.

An excellent end to the season and I'm looking forward to next year.

It's been officially renewed? If so that's good news.

Looked it - it seems so, it is renewed for season 3...

"It's back to bed for SHOWTIME with the 3rd season pick-up of the Golden Globe® Award-winning comedy series CALIFORNICATION, it was announced today by Robert Greenblatt, SHOWTIME President of Entertainment. Series star and executive producer David Duchovny, who won a Golden Globe® Award for his work as 'Hank Moody,' a novelist with weaknesses for sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll, will resume production next spring on 12 episodes for a late 2009 premiere."
