I think there's some confusion here. 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).
