Hunk Azaria

What can I say? The man drives me wild. I love my hunky Hebrews in general, however, I've had a heaving crush on Hank Azaria for as long as I've been memorably conscious. He first whispered sweet nothings in my ear through the various voices of Simpson's characters. I'm happy to report he just affirmed my life long lust for him with "Huff," a brilliant but canceled drama that aired on Showtime from 2004-2006. I just devoured the first (and only) two seasons over the past two weeks and not only was it a hunk of hank, but it was the first show since "Six Feet Under" that I've been this excited about.
I'm incensed that currently in entertainment existence there's a show called "Drag Race" (think America's Next Top Drag Queen and replace Tyra with Ru Paul) as well as an ill timed release of "Confessions of a Shopaholic." A film that pays no attention or sensitivity to the dire economic peril this country is in and glorifies vapid consumption as a way of life and a path to happiness. I won't even touch on its hideous stereotypes of women.
Why is it that shit shows and movies like those exist and thrive in droves, yet, a truly gorgeous series like "Huff" ...with its complex, realistic, emotionally rattling, hilarious, layered characters and plots are given the axe after their second season?
