SHOWTIME RENEWS ITS NEW HIT COMEDY SERIES CALIFORNICATION

12 New Half-Hour Episodes Of The Critically Acclaimed Comedy Starring David Duchovny
Slated To Return Summer 2008

On the heels of the unprecedented audience and critical acclaim of its new original comedy series CALIFORNICATION, starring David Duchovny, SHOWTIME has renewed the series for a second season. The first season of CALIFORNICATION premiered on August 13th and has seen its audience steadily grow, becoming one of the highest-rated series on SHOWTIME. CALIFORNICATION is currently averaging the strongest tune-in level SHOWTIME has ever seen for a freshman series and is posting nearly two million viewers per week, which is the best season one average weekly performance the network has seen since 2004. Additionally, the series has proven its broad appeal attracting equal levels of men and women and holding onto 90% of the WEEDS lead-in.

The first season will air through October on Mondays at 10:30 PM ET/PT. The premiere of season two of CALIFORNICATION is tentatively slated for Summer 2008.

"CALIFORNICATION is a home run for us. We haven't launced a first-year show this strongly out of the gate before, and it caps an extraordinary 12 months that's included the launch of 'Dexter,' 'The Tudors,' 'Brotherhood,' and 'This American Life,'” said Robert Greenblatt, President of Showtime Entertainment. “It's just another great notch in our proverbial bedpost (he says jokingly)."

CALIFORNICATION stars and is executive produced by Golden Globe®-winning actor David Duchovny (“The X-Files”). Co-starring alongside Duchovny are Natascha McElhone (The Truman Show, Laurel Canyon), Madeleine Martin (“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “Hope & Faith”), Madeline Zima (“The Nanny,” A Cinderella Story), and Evan Handler (“Sex and the City”).

CALIFORNICATION centers on novelist Hank Moody (Duchovny) who struggles to raise his 13-year-old daughter (Madeleine Martin), while still carrying a torch for his ex-girlfriend Karen (McElhone). His obsession with truth-telling and self-destructive behavior -- drinks, drugs and relationships -- are both destroying and enriching his career.

Duchovny is best known to millions of fans for his role as Agent Fox Mulder on the long-running cult classic television series, “The X-Files,” a role for which he earned a Golden Globe® Award and was nominated for an Emmy®. He also received Emmy® nominations for guest appearances on “The Larry Sanders Show” and “Sex and the City.” He is a three-time Golden Globe® and SAG Award nominee. On the big screen, Duchovny’s film credits include last year’s Trust the Man and Evolution, both opposite Julianne Moore; and Return to Me, co-starring Minnie Driver. Upcoming film projects include Jake Kasdan’s The TV Set, and Things We Lost in the Fire opposite Halle Berry and Benicio del Toro.

CALIFORNICATION is created and executive produced by Tom Kapinos (“Dawson’s Creek”). Duchovny and Scott Winant (Showtime’s “Huff”), serve as executive producers, with Melanie Greene serving as co-executive producer.

Should definitely be an hour long show if you ask me, either way AWESOME cant wait 

yeah same, such a fucking long time between drinks though. entourage and weeds too

I finally got around to watching this. Quality laughs! Though it seemed they tied up all the interesting storylines by the end of the season so I don't know where they're going to go from here. Half the fun was the jokes about Bill and I wonder where he's going to fit in if that fairytale ending continues...

So many gold bits throughout the season though, the squirter was a highlight. Terrbile singing voice on the daughter though, couldn't they have lip sync it?

That singing voice is all part of it though.. he has to be supportive coz she's his daughter!! Squirt scene was great, as was the naughty secretary, as was the opening sequence with the nun, as was the jealous boyfriend who couldn't find the man in the boat, as was the bookshop brawl with the director, as was the black-eye from unknown-at-the-time step-daughter-in-law-or-something (who I must say I perved on when she was on The Nanny and we were both 10 and I was finally able to actually see her bits *wellimpressed*).

Can't fucking wait for this to come back. Can't fucking wait.

Hahaha. I didn't realise it was her, wow! All grown up! 

Hank is a top character eh, kudos to the writers for delivering some great lines of dialogue.

Yep. Just watched all 3. It's back and on fire.

Bang bus was classic as was seeing coked up Marcy, in fact the whole lobster and coke party was quite odd.

And accidental mouth rape, jesus!

new ep is up!

David Duchovny is so hot.

i have forgotten to watch it every time

I've completely lost interest in this show.

I've completely lost interest in this show.

Get back into it mate. The new season is rocking.

Last 2 eps were awesome!

That crazy nympho TV cook was pretty funny. The whole Vaginatown saga is shaping up great too haha!

Lou Ashby is one funny bastard!

yep agreed. the very start of the new one had me in stitches.

Resisting the urge to download the new season so far... goin to try n wait until it's finished and marathon that shit.

I love, love, love this show!

i saw maybe half of one episode of this show and thought it was ok/good but not brilliant. it was the one where the nun offers to blow him

am i underestimating this show? should i get sorted with all the eps to date? i see a few entourage fans in this thread too how does it compare to that?

will sort you out on sunday mate. i'm not going to make comparisons with entourage this is just a quality show full of drugs, wrongness and some hot chicks. more so in season 2 though

cheers dude, ill bring my laptop so bring everything you have

OMG 

"He left a Cleveland Steamer on the bed"

Resisting the urge to download the new season so far... goin to try n wait until it's finished and marathon that shit.

I'm 3 eps behind and thats the best I can manage. Did the first 4 in a marathon and I'm starting to itch for another marathon. Entourage I'm withching 30 minutes after it goes up on mininove. No such luck

Unfortunately the second season is shit. They should change the name in "Californicrap". I didn't even bothered in watching last sunday episode and, guys, I LOVED the first season.

not even, how many eps you watched? up to episode 8 on the download and it's gold....

Yep, season 2 is firing on all cylinders, what don't you like about it?

I have missed the last couple of Sunday night

edit:

season 2 any good?

season 2 is sick, def worth the download!

sweet i get on it now be intresting to see where it goes cause they ended season 1 like they possibly werent gonna do a season 2

they are doing season 3 too

Does anyone know if they showed the full season 2 on Network 10.
I'm pretty sure I didn't watch all 12 eps.

I know I can download it, but I kind of like watching it on TV gives me the impression I'm doing my bit to keep the shows ratings up.

I've often wondered about that...how the hell do they know? Don't you have to have one of those Nielsen boxes or something? There's these National Media survey thingies that friends of my mum do on the regular too to get a bit of cash. I always thought a cross section of people had the boxes and others were quizzed via the NM surveys then they extrapolate the data from that.

In short, it doesn't mean squat if you watch it on TV or not IMO.

Maybe with digital TV they have a new way of monitoring....?

Dunno, don't think household antennas could transmit TBH, they need a power source I reckon.

I'm just trying to justify my illegal downloads of TV shows.

Seriously though, there was nothing worse with watching a great show then the ratings dived and it either got canned or pushed into an unwatchable timeslot. Torrents have made entertainment so much more satisfying.

it's back kids

And a pretty decent start at that.

Gonna fire up the vapouriser and watch the first 2. Can't wait, fkn love this show.

My fucking god @ Runkles new boss... *shudder*

fucking gold 2 episodes, even found myself rewinding a couple of parts i was laughing that hard.

For sure absolute gold; on fire out the gate!

The great lines escape me right now (there was a lot though, to be honest) - I'm too blinded by the memory of those massive chest puppies on Hank's student - jeebus!

she's not that hot tho, the rack just makes it nice

she's not that hot tho, the rack just makes it nice

Exactly. I think it was more of a shock and awe thing for me those things must have their own orbit!

Ooohh season 3, awesome.

must get on it.

You must! Firing frorm all cylinders straight off the bat.

I would expect nothing less.


hank 

Spewing! I got all amped up when I saw the episode in my RSS feed today, until I remembered those 2 last week were preview releases (hence all the 'property of' crap) so now this week's release is the proper episode...which I've already seen. Ditto to next week's...

Gah, now I have to wait another 2 weeks!

totally forgot about this show because of my its always sunny addiction.

watched 5 and 6 last night and both were very fucking excellent

I've been keeping up, I've got but haven't watched the latest ep (6) yet though...

Some solid norks action from Chesty McStudent in the last couple eh...Hank's developing quite the love, well, square I guess it would be haha.

 I think this show is getting better as it goes. Enjoying the third season so far.

Just finished the first 6 eps of season 3.

This show is fuckin great best getting around at the moment imo.

 I want to slap the daughter so bad.

yeah, i've always hated her.

You don't have any friends because you're a sulky fuckwit loser. You're also ugly.

hank and his missus would have spawned something much better looking than that.

Yeah Karen is a hot bitch with a cool as attutide

I want to slap the daughter so bad.

  Yep

Last episode was pretty cool with all the ladies + some strippers and Rick Springfield in Hank's apartment

Yep

Last episode was pretty cool with all the ladies + some strippers and Rick Springfield in Hank's apartment

Yeah I kept forgetting to post in here with that. The Apartment was a fantastic episode, just all the randomness and women he was rooting all coming together in the one place and hell broke out. It just needed Karen there to complete the picture lol.

Last episode was awesome too, Runkle showing some real balls after all the weeping lol!

Anyone still watching this?

Last couple of episodes have been great! Major shit hitting the fan last episode too, it looks like NY may be off the cards...

 Yeah I am really liking this season. The show has some heart behind all the the tits and screwing

Best season yet I reckon!!!
And what a blinder of a finale.

And what a blinder of a finale.

Ah crap it was the finale wasn't it! It had all the hallmarks of it I just didn't realise until now...

 God I hate Mia

God I hate Mia

Definitely WOULD though.

 Hatefuck?

Over and over again.

wicked season, wicked finale. i think it's gonna be a long long time until we know what's going on

2 eps up on eztv

cracking first 2 eps. when do more get aired?

Yesssss! Hanktime is back.

cracking first 2 eps. when do more get aired?

not sure. i think they were pre airs so it could be a month or a few weeks.

cracking 2 eps indeed.

not sure. i think they were pre airs so it could be a month or a few weeks.

cracking 2 eps indeed.

Season 4 officially starts to air today in the US (9th), EP3 isn't due till the 23rd Jan. unless more pre-airs start to appear but i highly doubt they will

I know I am about 7 years late, but im enjoying this...

any show that uses the term 'stunt cock' is a winner

It's only been going 4 seasons so try 3 and a half years too late.

it's back 

first episode is gold, interesting guest appearance from a wutang member.

Cool, I thought it returned in January though...is it a pre-air or something?

Must be. There always seems to be a pre-air epsiode or two with every season.

And yes Timmy, if the first episode is anything to go by, it's going to be back in fine fkn form.

I am going to be awful and go against the popular grain here. I think this show has lost it's appeal... The scripts are written too much for shock factor, it's just the same old story again. Just like Entourage which i loved until it failed to do anything new and tried to be super snappy with it's scripting too.

I'll still watch it but i'm growing tired of the same old.

PS. Must add, seeing RZA in this is dope.

Ep 5 is funny as some classic shit.
In regards to b's post I can see this series going to a different place to previous series ep 6 is and example of that, lots of flash backs Hank has dealt with Karen moving on but is lost and hooking up with random chicks just isn't doing it for him anymore, looks like its getting a bit deeper into Hanks Character.
But I guess we'll see where ep 7 goes, they have a winning formula so why change it up.

the black bird is fukn smoking!!!!!!!

hank hop

She's aiight, but the pommy nanny that Charlie is into does it for me

they are both amazing, what a rig on the black chick and those lips... dayum!
