The Bravo the original poster was discussing was the Canadian version that has just gone on the air this week as part of the new specialty channels debacle. The Bravo others are talking about is apparently a U.S. service -- which I or anyone else in Canada is not permitted to see. I can't comment on U.S. Bravo, but the Canadian version is barely acceptable (and please, Twin Peaks fans, don't flame this... it might be their only saving grace). GB. --
