It’s not that I haven’t wanted to — I lost track of it near the middle of Season 3 when my work schedule changed (and I kept forgetting to tape it), and then I moved, and I just haven’t been able to get back in the swing of things and pick it up again. I did enjoy the second season a bit, and thought what I saw of the third was a very definite improvement on it, though.
quote[quote]As for our little exchange regarding Maury Chaykin – I expect that the resulting agreement would be an example of what you might call the result of its descriptive features, and our ‘disagreement’ about his performance a subjective evaluation. I stil would like to describe his perfomance as one that would open up a New York delicatesson [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img] [/quote]
I’m not arguing that. It’s ham through and through, all right, but it’s *very good* ham. It’s like my love of Vincent Price; as an actor, he was actually very, very good. He could be subtle, nuanced, and multilayered when the part called for it ([i]The Whales of August[/i], for example), but there are times when he’d let loose with a full-blown over-the-top performance, chewing on every bit of available scenery, and it would seem like he was just having the time of his life (Roger Corman’s [i]The Raven[/i], for another example), and it was just immensely fun to watch (and still is). It’s that kind of fun I get from watching Chaykin’s perf in “White Trash.”

Ditto here.
