Didn't know that Rob McElhenney actually gained 50 pounds for Season 7 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  I saw a tv spot and thought it was just a fat suit and makeup.  LOL.  Can't wait for the premiere.

Yes! I love that his reasoning was simply that it would be funny if Mac got fat.

That reasoning alone is hilarious.  I was dying listening to Howerton on WTF talking about it and its relation to Mac's fascination with mass.  I want to see fat Mac do his martial arts moves.

Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies) trying to bring Hannibal Lecter to TV.

Quote from: TVLine
The potential series would explore the early relationship between the famed psychiatrist and his young patient, an FBI criminal profiler who is haunted by his ability to empathize with serial killers.

After a dozen years of DirecTV I switched to Comcast (well...xfinity) today.  I guess they have streaming.  Sounds like it's just enough to be a gateway drug to their pay-per-view streaming...anyone have any experience with it?  Recommendations?

Why the switch Jeff? I've had Comcast for years now and I desperately want to get away from them, I believe ses does as well.
