I admit folks I am sorely disappointed. I was hoping that Californication or at least David Duchovny would win a Golden Globe. Though the fans are disheartened but the star himself is pretty cool about the whole thing as he told to Reuters, “The thing about any award show is it’s about exposure bringing new people to our program.”

It’s a swell show and award or no award, it’s difficult to ignore or forget this comedy grounded in reality. Californication is about a novelist Hank Moody portrayed by David Duchovny who resides in Los Angeles. He is still in love with his divorced wife while sharing responsibilities to raise their daughter. He is bitter in the first season when his best selling novel is turned into an asinine Hollywood movie which proves to be a hit. Overcoming the writer’s block, he writes another novel which gets stolen by a nubile girl who seduced him. His ex-wife, sex buddy and casual sexual encounters along with the sexual adventures of his best friend make the show abundant in sexual material and nudity and some really colorful language. But luckily it all is possible on cable network but not on not broadcasters like Fox that are held to stricter content standards on public airwaves.

Duchovny was candid in his revelation said that toward the end of the ninth and final season of “X-Files” in 2002, he had grown tired of hearing critics laud cable shows such as “The Sopranos” because of their use of street language and real-life situations.

“I used to kind of bemoan the fact they were cheating. They had the richness of the English language and we did not. Now that I get to, it’s fun,” Duchovny said.

After X-Files, which shot Duchovny to stardom, ended he did not stick to working on network television as expected from an A- list star. In fact, he worked in low budget art movies like Steven Soderbergh’s “Full Frontal” and wrote and directed “House of D”. His two decades in show biz are a rich in a variety of roles where he showcased his talent. He got attracted to the character of Moody because despite being flawed, the man came across as charming and humane with a sharp wit.

“I’ve been saying for years, ‘I’m funny,’” Duchovny said.
