Showtime has picked up two more seasons of Dexter, and HBO's looking for one more year of Entourage -- but as yet no word yet about Californication being picked up. Two months ago, we'd have thought that would have something to do with the show having trouble recovering from that happy ending the writers had Hank Moody land himself in at the end of Season One. But today, of course, we know that David Duchovny is, like Hank, something of a dog, and we can't help but wonder if the network or viewers aren't having trouble commiting to the show in reaction.
We also can't help but wonder what Fox "Spooky" Mulder would think about all this. Sure, he had a thing for porn, but unlike Hank Moody, he was straight-laced, honorable, and loyal. Sure, he's also monomaniacal and obsessive, but would he ever treat Dana Scully the way Hank's been treating his Karen and Becca -- or heck, the way Duchovny's been treating his Missus? Seems unlikely. Seems to us like he'd wind up giving both Hank and Dave the old Federal-1-2, if you know what we mean.
