A friend told me about it, and I've recorded about 6 episodes, but haven't watched any yet. I'm afraid it will be like too many other shows, if you haven't seen them all you won't have a clue what's going on. Is that the case? Or does each episode pretty much stand alone (like one of my current favorites, Bones)?

They always mean beautiful things like hummingbirds. I always reply by saying that I think of a little child in east Africa with a worm burrowing through his eyeball. The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs. I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator.

However the season finale was in two parts. Often nice references to '80s music and early tech so you might just like it Worm! AC

It's a bit cheesy... but enough humor to make it worth watching.

And I think you can miss episodes and do alright. I'm a big fan of Lost, and if you missed 1 episode 2 seasons ago you might actually get "lost"

It's awesome though... Definitely one of those to pick up the DVD season 1 and start from the beginning.

Usually not enough call backs to previous shows to bother me.
