Mmm...Classy Favorite: Californication

Californication, which I enthusiastically include in what many are calling The Golden Age of Television, is now gone from the Showtime lineup, but certainly not forgotten.

A writer, played beautifully by David Duchovny, is trapped in a cycle of self-destruction with alcohol and drugs. He can’t escape repeatedly disappointing his daughter and her mother, the great love of his life.

This surprisingly complex character certainly has an x-factor (ba dum tsh) that seemingly makes him irresistable to women. Though the show has plenty of sex, it does carry a story throughout its seven season which, at times, is heartbreaking as we watch the hero on his journey.

Classy TV, it really was. Now, take a look at this scene where the oh-so-lovely Eva Amurri Martino dances tastefully on stage in front of him.
