Californication is, without a doubt, the worst show I have ever seen
on television! Stupid..stupid...stupid! Why in the world did Showtime
buy into this garbage? Does anyone really believe this is a comedy series?

David Duchovny is not a smart actor and this is not a major TV series.
If it is on the air for more than a few weeks...I will be very surprised.

This isn't a 'comedy'
Its adult programming, and wonderful, Duchovny gets to be a man with libido, heart and soul.

I'm so tired of seeing the glorification of empty, soulless and spiritually bankrupt people, living boring and uninspired lives. What is particularly reprehensible is to watch the slow killing of a child's purity and soul. There is nothing funny nor interesting about it!!! Californication is TV at it's lowest.

I wish I could hit rewind on my life and undo watching this show. A waste of time and whats more a show which appears to glorify shameless people doing shameless things, in the form of 'entertainment'. In particular the corruption of children. David Duchovny hang your head in shame! Your career has hit rock bottom, as have Channel 10. From the idiots who brought us big brother.

i have watched the pilot and i think its a bit revealing but at the same time you have only seen 40 odd minutes or whatever it is of the show and you guys are already judging it badly.... i mean fair enough that their first impression should have been better but i think if we all watch the rest of the episodes it may become better and more interesting. let me know of your opinions and comments after watching 4 more episodes.....give it a chance

Please DO NOT put this rubish to air....we have enough rubish that our children can just press a button to now without another one. How could you go to bed and think that you did a great day's work by airing this filth for our children {and yours} to see. Before this is taken off the air I will not allow my family to watch TV especially channel ten. I will be hiring the old full of good taste viewing videos for young and old alike where we do not have to supervise what our children are watching.
Thank you for listening and PLEASE do not put the mighty $ before the good of our futrue men and women.

Showtime's Californication is on late, and is a rated TV - MA show - not intended for children.

It's for adults. And it's a great show!

Grow up. Watch Reba reruns if you are so upset.
