Like Mark Graham over at Vulture, I stopped watching Nip/Tuck a few years ago, because it was just too ugly and desperate to shock, and I didn’t care about any of the characters. But sometimes it’s good to check in on a show you don’t watch anymore, just to make sure you made the right decision. Turns out, we did (Warning, if this scene of self-mutilation is in any way believable to you I suppose it’s graphic. To me it was just funny in a 70′s slasher-flick-meets-Passions way.):
The Parents Television Council is all mad, of course. What’ll Nip/Tuck do next? And who cares?

Oh what the hell… I’m not going to pretend to be one of those impervious “nothing on TV phases me” people (liars). It’s not OMG NOT FOR TV, more like “Why was this approved of?”
Hilarious.
This is exactly the reason I stopped watching this show after the first season. The writers belong in the same TV jail as Seth McFarlane.
Trying-Too-Hardville; Population: Nip/Tuck.
they lost me when matt’s girlfriend was actually a transsexual (really, famke janssen?), who was(not?) having an incestuous relationship with her (not) son, then she took off to avoid something and left matt all confuddled and thinking he was maybe gay, so he shaves his head (?) and goes to a tranny bar and then ruthlessly beats the tranny up, so is followed to school by a bunch of angry trannies who chase him down, beat the crap out of HIM and then pee on him, in retaliation. just too much.
Dude, don’t hate. I feel like that storyline was ripped RIGHT FROM MY LIFE.
Come to think of it, I think an exec producer somewhere owes me some royalty money.
That made me want to vomit. WTF! Couldn’t she have just set herself on fire? Or set her boobs on fire? It worked in Mrs. Doubtfire.
She obviously cut it off so she could easily aim a bow and arrow at the writers.
Jokes on her, then, cuz that’s the wrong boob.
I like that the first the the only doctor in the room does is unplug the electric carving knife. Safety first!

also that the best way to keep going to shock alive is to sort of move their jaw up and down while theyre talking and press on their throat in a couple places
I think the injections of botox straight to the penis was what really turned me off to this show.
If you seek A-YOU, nip/tuck
Nahhh, Nip/Tuck is AMAZING in that “WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?? THIS IS REALLY A SHOW??” kind of way. I’m pretty sure every character has killed someone and been nearly murdered 2-4 times.
Also speaking of Matt storylines that lost everyone, lemme give you a breakdown:
Matt’s girlfriend doesn’t like his circumcised dick so he gives himself a circumcision (hilarity ensues), Matt’s new girlfriend doesn’t like blacks or Jews so he becomes a neonazi for a bit (hilarity ensues), Matt’s new new girlfriend (who also has had sex with his dad and was engaged to his other dad [yep]) likes Scientology so he gives the church all his money (a short term meth addiction AND hilarity ensue). Oh and somewhere in between that he dates a tranny, a burn victim, and HIS SISTER. I’m completely serious about all of this. How can you not love a show like that??

that’s where they lost me also lol.
i’m not familiar with this show. so its a fancy meta-soap-opera then?
re: the song choice – girls hearts aren’t….in their boobie, are they? ’cause that’s *weird*
