From Tvsquad.com

The numbers are in and The Riches is off to a nice start for FX. The 3.8 million viewers more than doubled the best Monday night at 10 the network has ever had. That was also slightly better than the premieres of Nip/Tuck and Dirt, but fell short of The Shield, Rescue Me, and Over There. In the 18-49 demo, the news was even better. The Riches ranks as the number two premiere, trailing only The Shield.

I've been meaning too. Ever since I saw Eddie Izzard's standup, I've been intrigued by his ambiguous personality. The show looks entertaining, unfortunately I have not been able to see a show yet.

fx has some fantastic programming.

This is now my favorite TV show. It is good enought to be one of HBO's original shows. I'm surprised it is on FX and not on FOX.

i'm glad it isn't. they'd have to edit it a bit for it to be on fox.

so far so good, not my favorite, but for sure in my top ten of current shows that are being recorded...

Dynamite show. Minnie Driver is excellent. Loved the scene when the Gated Community Association Presdident's prosthetic arm got ripped off.

The concept of the gender confused 12 year old is different. FX now has 2 grea shows. The Riches and Rescue Me.

They are going to run a marathon of The Riches Friday night so everyone can catch up.

Thanks for the heads-up. I DVR'd them and watched the first one. Interesting show, I'm looking forward to getting caught up.

it's funny, I think the set-up and the idea for the show is really good, but ultimately, it's NOT smart enough for it's own good IMO. Too many easy outs for the grifters. i wish it was a little tighter as far as that's concerned, but I like the relationships between the characters and the dynamic of the show. but again, I think it's just a little off for me.

i agree, but i'm willing to let that slide because eddie izzard is the freaking man.

Tonight's episode, May 7th, was off the charts. Holy crap. This has to be the best thing going right now. Hugh, on the floor, all coked out, trying to find the ghost in his cell phone, was a highlight.

I suppose it's my fault for not watching first-run (DVR'ed it), but perhaps next time the savvy use of a spoiler tag may be appropriate?

Just finished watching Monday's episode. I love that Dale has a fetish for prosthetic limbs.

Freaky dude, isn't he. Next week has got to be insane, with all of the crap going on.

Season finale tonight. Best show on TV. But then I only watch about 4 with any interest level.
