  1. Is that guy serious!? He only had to say he didnt agree with it instead he wrote a bloody essay! Fare enough it’s against his beliefs and everyone is entitled to their own oppinion, but i agree with everyone else CHANGE THE CHANEL IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, SIMPLE!! I watched the first two episodes last night just by chance and im so glad i caught it, such a great program and theres nothing wrong with a bit of raunch on TV! Bring it on thats what i say!

  2. To the Christians, you don’t like it don’t watch it. I really is that simple. I don’t watch Seventh Heaven for the same reasons, I find it pathetic.

    Oh for some hungry lions.

  3. To anyone with an opinion about the new show Californication: I am a 1st year university student studying journalism. My second assessment piece for the year is a media piece. I have decided to base the piece on the screening of Californictaion as it is a controversial topic that has received a lot of public attention. I am looking for a few people with strong views on the topic. Both for and against the screening. I would really appreiciate public input for this assignment. Please email me at [email protected] Your help is much appreciated thanx

  4. My respect goes out to 22 year old christian for having the conviction to stand up for their belief’s. The problem with this society is that people have become “lukewarm” in their values and consequently things like this show are now seen as comic. I am proud to stand up as a christian and say this show should be cancelled due to its unnecessary mockery of Christ OUR Lord.

  5. This show is brilliant! They want to boycott it?? No way! I havent laughed so hard as when Hank vomitted on the painting! It’s refreshing to have a new show apart from all the police/crime shows.
    Keep it coming-Californication!

  6. I have to say I find most TV shows boring and cannot bring myself to tune in week after week, but I have to say I’m hooked. I’m so glad that an Australian TV Network finally purchased something that is actually entertaining! Californication is hilarious! I was in stitches for the first two episodes, it has an entertaining / original plot, it’s full of classic and witty one liners and I say thank god for a show that finally has some balls! To the people who don’t like it please change the channel and stop trying to ruin it for the people who loved it!

  7. I hadn’t heard of this show and probably would never have seen it except for the publicity it’s got from the bilble bashers.

    I’m definately going to tune in now!

  8. Another Do gooder with no life and has to find things to complain about if you dont like it dont watch it, i myself find the show amusing and pokes fun at real life situations classic and brillant to watch, as for the guy married to God go bible bash somewhere else!!! you and your religion are the evil and the cancer on the human race and the cause of most problems in modern society.

  9. Are you sure your are not a radical follower of Allah. Your intolerance levels are off the map.

    Personally I think people knocking your door down at 7am whilst trying to guilt you into buying copies of “The Watchtower” are far more offensive.

    22 year old Christian who has “0” life experience, go back to church. Different people find different things amusing and entertaining. If your ilk were in charge…

    Quote “Heaven forbid”!

  10. Whoa.

    Please note I usually withhold off topic soap box replies but as you’ve referenced the show, the network etc amid some personal concerns I’ve published on this occasion. Shame you didn’t add a name to it after taking so much time.

    TV like the rest of the media offers many choices, for every Californication there is a Compass (not sure why it was necessary to compare with a mosque..and there are plenty of instances of Catholicism in non-peaceful theatres of war).

    Bottom line is don’t watch. If it doesn’t rate you will have your prayers answered.

  11. Excellent Show. To the God botherer, switch over to the Australian Christian Channel and stop pissing and moaning about the content of this show. You have a choice, CHANGE THE CHANNEL.

    Your opinion lacks in anything other than a narrow minded bullshit religious opinion.

  12. Dear anyone who agreed to the screening of Cali fornication,

    I am 22 years old. On behalf of my faith, friends, family and Jesus, I am absolutely disgusted with the preview of the program of Cali fornication which was shown on air 26/08/07. As the title suggests, the show is intrinsically evil and sacrilegious. The program is disrespectful, ill-mannered, irreverent, selfish and most of all sick. Your code of conduct regarding what can screen on TV surely covers offending the religion of your viewers. The preview was a disgrace to your program. Even my atheist friends would know not to stoop so low. The program is offensive to anyone who believes in God.

    Everyone knows that Religious Nuns are called to be pure, and a sign of the Kingdom of God. This show makes a direct mockery and ridicule of my faith and that of many Christians and other world religions around Australia. What is worse is the depiction of obscene things in front of a crucifix, tabernacle, and statutes of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

    Please think of Mother Teresa and all the great work she has done in her life time. You are mocking her and stealing away potential nuns who may be thinking of helping the poor in Third World countries, nursing homes, teaching, and most of all loving in its true fullness and meaning. Mother Teresa was just one nun; please think about the consequences and severity of your actions.

    Sex sells? … Not with me! I want truth and justice! Allowing such programs does not encourage me to watch your station – in fact it’s the biggest turn-off. Sex is holy and to be used in the context of the marital act in line with God’s creative power to create life. You and I are nothing; God brought us into existence he could easily remove us from it too.

    “When Jesus taught the multitudes the twelve Beatitudes, He was speaking to all men of all ages on correct moral conduct. In number eight of the Beatitudes, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God,” Christ was teaching of the cleanness of the whole person, not just his heart. The heart represents one’s thought, words and deeds” (Bishop Fulton Sheen on Sex and holy Purity)

    I will pray for your personal conversion of heart to retract this evil show from TV or at least withdraw the series which attack the Christian faith from being screened.

    The cast & crew of this sick show are blessed only in one respect – that Catholicism is a peaceful religion and does not teach violent retribution. Have you the guts to depict anything similar taking place in a mosque?

    The dignity of each human person is to be respected. Be an example of good and virtue and undo this mess. I expect that you will attend to this matter with urgency and professionalism.

    Remember the demise of society is in each person’s hand; you can either build up society or tear it down. This show tears down the building blocks of society!

    I believe every person is created good; our choices make us bad people. I ask you to reach into your heart and make an act of good and reparation. Just think about the damage you are doing to society, to your own soul, the soul of every person who watches this error, your family and potentially your future children (if you haven’t already been blessed with them).

    I pray that truth may pour from your heart and you realise the result of your actions. I look forward to more positive experiences with Channel Ten if a favourable outcome is achieved. Otherwise I will stop watching channel 10 including Australian Idol and I will encourage my friends and family to do the same. Although I know they feel the same way and I will not have to try very hard to make them stop watching.

    You are entitled to freedom of speech but you are not meant to abuse it ! There are boundaries in life ! we are entitled to freedom of religion without persecution!

    I pray money not be your sole motivator; it was Judas’ and look how he ended up.

    Kind regards and may God bless you

  13. Just watched the first two episodes – it’s hilarious…definately not for everyone though.

    David Duchovny is incredibly HOT! I’d forgotten how much Fox Mulder used to smoulder!

    I am curious as to how TEN will edit the show. The raw show runs for 27 minutes. Too long for ahalf hour slot, too short for a one hour shot. Hopefully no creative editting.
