Anyone watch “Six Degrees”? There wasn’t anything I wanted to watch on the movie channels, so I was surfing the networks. I missed the end of the show because I was too tired, but I was pleasantly surprised that this show is so good. It seems more like movie than a TV show, and there are quite a few movie actors in it. You have probably seen Erika Christensen, Hope Davis, Bridget Moynahan and Campbell Scott in movies.

I wish it was available on iTunes. I’ve always wondered who decides what shows to put on there, since my favorites are rarely there.

I think most people have heard of the six degrees of separation. Many years ago it was a game to take actors in movies and get them to Kevin Bacon in six people or less. It’s actually pretty easy to do because Bacon was in a lot of movies. So then this theory got planted in our minds. Now there’s a TV show with little individual stories and the surprising connections all the characters have. I wonder what will happen next week. I also wonder how long they can continue the show and keep it fresh.

This show takes place in New York City. The fact that it takes place in a large city made me think about those who live in small towns. I remember living in a very small town (around 200 people) for a year. Everyone knew everyone. Perhaps this show won’t appeal to them. For those of us who live in a large city, I think we need reminding that we’re connected because we seem so disconnected.
