Andrew โ You have the infinite advantage of being one of K-Loโs favorites โ and hence you get preview DVDs of hot new shows. Meanwhile all she ever sends me are old sneakers she finds on the side of the Cross-Bronx Expressway. Another related advantage you have is that youโve actually seen โNip and Tuckโ and I havenโt. But it seemed to me like the lead character isnโt really a villain so much as a protagonist villain like Mel Gibson in โPaybackโ or, more relevant, Adrian Pasdar in the short-lived Fox series โProfit.โ This was a brilliant show in which the โheroโ was something of a souless sociopath whoโd been raised in a large cardboard box with only an eye-hole for the television set. He schemed and plotted against his enemies in corporate America. Unfortunately, only four episodes aired in the US and only a total of eight were ever made (all of which aired in Europe). Anyway, I thought this might aslo open up the discussion to the topic of best TV villains. Surely, you will say the cigarette guy from the X-Files. Any other nominations?
