Californication

One thing all of you should know about me. I'm a TV junkie. I love the shows that have been available through Netflix ever since I discovered Buffy in 02. But, I've been unable to watch TV lately and it's disturbing-- almost like being impotent or something. The problem I've been having is that I just watched the end of Season 3 of Weeds and I'm afraid that there's just nothing on tv that's as good. But, I finally overcame my fears and put in another DVD. It was Californication. It has all the things I look for in a TV show: fornication, and more fornication. But I'm 10 minutes into the pilot episode and I'm having a suspension of disbelief problem. A spoiler follows that people who worry about such things should be aware of:


**** Spoiler Warning *******


Okay the main character is running out of the house of a guy whose hot wife he is fucking and he didn't have time to get his pants. So he shows up to pick up his daughter for her weekend with dad with no pants on just some spandexy looking undies that I would probably know the name of if I shopped at all. He brings the daughter to his apartment and she goes to watch Pirates of the Carribean. She comes out of the room asking "why is there a naked lady on your bed? There's no hair on her vagina do you think she's okay?". The girl just said things like "Johnny Dep is hot." She looks like she must be at least 10 or 11. How likely is it that a girl of 10 or 11 who thinks Johnny Dep is hot doesn't know about pussy shaving in the Internet age? I would ask Skippy, but I think this is a question for the ladies.
