If your idea of &#8220;gay, lighthearted romp&#8221; means watching a guy get his face smashed in with a bottle by a fascist Spaniard.  Oy.  Great movie, don&#8217;t get me wrong, but probably not one to watch if you&#8217;re not ready for something dark.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/misc\/TV\/jericho.jpg\" target=\"blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/misc\/TV\/jericho-thumb.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" align=\"right\"><\/a><br \/>\nAlso, we&#8217;re finally watching<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbs.com\/primetime\/jericho\/\" target=\"blank\"> Jericho<\/a>, going through season 1 via Netflix.  As a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Firefly_(TV_series)\" target=\"blank\">Firefly<\/a> fan, I feel a certain obligation to check out a show which was cancelled and brought back as a result of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/tech\/products\/cnet\/2007-06-07-peanuts-resurrect-jericho_N.htm\" target=\"blank\">passionate fan campaign<\/a>.  We&#8217;re really enjoying this!  You have to suspend a certain amount of disbelief, but this is a show I would recommend to others.  I need to figure out who at CBS to write to to let them know they&#8217;ve picked up another viewer.
