Sons of Anarchy

Is anybody watching this one? Mr. Melitta saw the previews for it and we have been hooked since. I have not seen the guy who plays Jax in anything else, but that guy is HOT!

This is actually a really good show. I've been watching and have finally figured out most of the crew and what they are about. It's worth it.

I agree that this show is good. I'm hooked. Who would imagine that Peggy Bundy could be this scary.

Wow! That final scene in the garage last night was gruesome! Man, I love this show!

Good show, just picked up for second season yesterday.

Season 2 premier is tonight - forget the DVR, watch it live if at all possible. This is a great show with multi-layered characters. Kurt Sutter hit the ball straight out of the part with this one!

Was pretty good tonite

Henry Rollins has joined the cast--therefore, I must watch it! :lol

Last night's season opener was awesome... as expected. As usual, I can't wait to see what happens next! Yes Henry Rollins joining the cast this season is a great addition. He does quality work every time.

Mellita: Thanks for the run down on all of the great characters. What does SAMCRO stand for? I'm guessing the SAM stands for Sons of Anarchy (maybe) but what about "CRO"? I always thought they were talking about a person named Sam Crowe! Haha!
I know Tara used to be Jaxx girlfriend, however I still don't get why Gemma hates her so much.
