I just forwarded this article to my boyfriend with the message "wish I wrote this". Six Feet Under is the only show on TV I like and, although I am in the perfect demographic for Sex and the City AND I get as much sex as I want, I still can't stomach that show.

Excellent article! This program is among the best ever produced on television. I would however like to see more dick in the series, especially involving Keith and David. I imagine Keith has an enormous penis and I would love to get even just a glimpse of it. *****sigh......*****

I'm a huge fan. Especially of Rico - meow!!! The true cat's ass. It's nice to see a yummy Hispanic on TV. Allen Ball wrote the character expecially for Rodriguez, Rico has sex -appeal, family love and a good sense of humor. I love how he thinks about his work as ART.

Perhaps because I opted to move from a large city to a small town, I'm no longer aware of the current Salon vernacular. This is my first exposure to the superlative "the cat's-ass", which Jason Gay uses to praise the HBO series "Six Feet Under". Might I assume that the award for television programs which receive this new praise-phrase would be a cat-ass-trophy?

I LUV reachel Griffiths, she is such a great actress--I think her star will just rise and rise, and she is sexy as hell--has anyone seen her in some of the indies she done like "Blowdry"?

I like your point about how television producers etc. have that 'look how daring we are' attitude when they are taking a sexual risk in a show.
It's really quite lame that they think like that.
Just do what you gotta do...

the article has it right; the mom did take ecstasy (from the same bottle nate got his; it was left there by david) in season one, when she went camping (remember the bear scene!).

I think you've nailed it on this show; Brenda is sooooo hot, and full of surprises....easily in the top 10 shows currently on TV.

Well thoughtout take on a terrific show. While Nerve naturally takes a look at the show's approach to sex, Six Feet Under's real daring is in its ubiquitous portrail of death and all -even the mundane - which attend it. Can an episode featuring love in a casket (empty or already occupied!) be far off?

D'Oh! You guys are totally right -- I did blunder by failing to note David's Vegas arrest. Dumb, dumb. Still, I think the point remains the same, that SFU by and large avoids the sanctimony that too often accompanies sex on TV.
Thank you very much to those who pointed it out.

It's nice to see Six Feet Under getting some attention on here. It's such a great show! This article had some errors, but other then that, it was great. ;) I can't wait to see more!

Well, actually David DID get arrested after the tryst on the hood of a car in Vegas - but due to some crafty police work on the part of the ex., all the charges were dropped. Have to say though your anaylsis is pretty accurate - the only shock value in the sex scenes is the kind given for laughs ie. Nate performing cunnilingus on Brenda in the viewing room and Mom walking in on them!

Not only that, but this season it seems that David contracted gonorrhea from his unprotected one-night stand with said male prostitute. The lady at the clinic even calls him on it, referring to him as a "bad boy." Seems like finger-wagging to me... tongue in cheek yes, but still wagging. PS - this "essay" is what's going above fold with big obnoxious graphics on Nerve.com now? Must be a slow sex month.

Though writen with good intentions. This article has not been researched very well. David does get arrested in the first season after having sex in public with a male prostitute in las vegas. He is subsiquently repremanded by his ex who shows up to bail him out.
