**The Shield** : 4 stars  
**Rescue Me** : 3.5 stars  
**The Riches** : 3.5 stars  
**It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia** : 3 stars (I haven’t seen many)  
**Dirt** : 2.5 stars (Don Conkey brings in 1.5 of them, the sex and hot bodies brings the other one)

I’ve never seen **nip/tuck** , so I can’t comment.

Any other FX series I need to hunt down?

Ever see **Over There**? It has been canceled, but it’s well worth seeing on DVD.

[Wow](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0446241/). I had forgotten about that one, but hadn’t seen it, either. I must look it up.

Another FX show that is worth a look is the now-defunct **Lucky** , a quirky little comedy/drama starring John Corbett.

Oh gosh - Nip/Tuck is absolutely my FAVORITE, and I really, really like Dirt & The Riches. Julian McMahon is a HUGE hunk and the dialogue, sex and smut are really entertaining.

Yep, I loved that one, too. Maybe another 4 stars. Nah, only 3 because it was only 30 minutes and had such a short life.

The one season of Starved was awesome. I couldn’t understand why they cancelled it. Nip/Tuck is also worth checking out.

I bought **Over There** on DVD as well. Very good show.
