"Six Feet Under," the quirky HBO series about a Southern California family that runs a funeral parlor, will end its run after its upcoming fifth season.

Kinda peaked a couple of seasons ago, but it's a shame when any great series ends. At least I'm comforted that HBO has the "Rome" series coming up.

1. Gay undertakers cost the Democrats the election.

I love that show.

2. what's the Rome series about ?

4. Follows two Roman soldiers

when they return home to Rome after the wars. It'll be different because it won't focus on Roman royalty/political intrigue/fat bald guys in togas carrying scrolls, but more about life for the average Roman citizen. Should be good.

5. That sounds very good. Can't wait.

7. Have you read any Gary Jennings?

"Aztec" and "The Journeyer", Aztec (duh) and Marco Polo historical fiction--but so well researched they're amazingly vivid. He inserts tons of details that in another writer's hands would come off as an archaeology textbook.

3. first series I watched on dvd

now I will not watch a series week to week. I hope the 3rd and 4th seasons come out on dvd soon.
