The Meanest Show on T.V.

Even Sopranos at its most vicious now seems like Sunday school lessons compared to the sheer nihilistic glee of Nip/Tuck this season. Of course, the surgeries themselves have always seemed pretty brutal, but lately the dialogue on the show sounds like a buzzsaw trying to cut through steel. Here's a sampling of the nastiness...JUST FROM LAST NIGHT'S EPISODE:

"I don't date guys with grey pubes."

Kimber: "I'm going back into porn."
Christian: "Well, if you're going to be a depraved slut, you might as well get paid for it."

"Why would I risk having a piece of my dick get bitten off by one of those king crabs you got swimming around in that cesspool of a vagina?"

Matt: "Kimber's going into modeling, and I'm going to manage her."
Christian (to Kimber): "Oh, Jesus...'Crack Whore Magazine's' latest centerfold. Have you see your face, lately, Kimber? It looks like a fraternity couch."
