• With his stellar performance Duchovny managed to both excise Fox Mulder from my mind and make me sympathize with the selfish asshole that is Hank Moody. Both difficult tasks and in addition he made me frequently laugh during some not otherwise funny scenes with his great comic timing and sometimes even with just a subtle look. --The-jam 17:16, 4 February 2008 (EST)

• While the show is pretty hit-or-miss, Warburton is the thing that brings me back every time. -Joltman 07:57, 17 January 2008 (EST)
