    Watched the first episode last night and thoroughly enjoyed.

      Ahh your in for a quite a ride in the next few episodes.

      There's a bit of a lull around episodes 7 and 8 from memory but it picks up again.

        Not sure if it could pick up at this point.

          Interesting cast selection for season 2 - Colin Farral ( who I rate highly) and Vince Vaughn - unsure what to make of Vince.

          If he can transcend styles like Jim Carey and Will Farrel before him, should be great viewing again.

          Such a quality show behind the scenes, you can't imagine them getting the cast wrong.

            More interesting will be who the female lead is. Just about everyone is rumored to be in contention.

              I have a fair dislike for Vince Vaughn, but I'm willing to see what he can make of this role.

                  I will go in with an open mind. I loved most of Woody's work, but was skeptical on McC, and was wrong to be. Big shoes to fill, so here's hoping it's another good season.

                    Vaughn is good and very similar to McConnagod in the sense that they put their artistic pursuits to the side in order to make stacks. Anyone else seen Swingers? Vaughn's awesome.

                      I guess the question with Vaughn can he transfer from a comedy slant to straight up drama.

                        I think he can. It's the audience that might get caught up in a past persona I think.

                        I'm open to his casting. I think he can make the role work. I like seeing comic actors and even comedians doing straight roles though. I saw Bill Murray do a straight role in a movie when I was a kid and he won me over to the idea.



                        I like Colin Farrell too. Have done since Phone Booth.

                        I hope they get the casting right for the other roles like they did last time.
                        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                          It took both McConaughey and Woody a while to get past their past personas, one the dumb waiter from Cheers and the other a Romcom actor, not to sure on Vaughn but if his acting is good enough people will quickly get involved and enjoy the show.

                            Clearly you haven't seen Woody in his past movies?!?!?

                              I didn't mean presently, I meant directly after Cheers.
