Ray Donovan in NYC -- and (almost) my house!

I'm a big fan of the show Ray Donovan, a very entertaining, noirish-crime saga about a Boston-born "fixer" and his extremely dysfunctional family. It stars the great Liev Schreiber and returns for a sixth season on Sunday.

Best of all -- Ray and the gang are in NYC! 

After five seasons exploring the seedy depths of a morally depraved Los Angeles, the show has relocated to NYC and will, presumably, explore our own seedy depths and moral depravity. It'll be amazing to see what kinds of plots the show comes up with here!

And here's an interesting side note: the home of yours truly, Mr NYC, was "scouted" by this show!

That's right, the location scouts for Ray Donovan were interested in filming part of the show in my very own house and a guy came and took lots of pictures. He really liked the exteriors but, apparently, the also needed a basement they could shoot in and ours was (is), well, not exactly user-friendly (it's not finished, low ceilings, no light, very narrow -- although it would've been a great place to dump a body which they do a lot of on that show). This was the notice we got of their interest:

Anyway, I can't wait for the next season to begin -- and I'll be curious to see what house and basement they used! Here's the first episode of Season Six for you enjoyment.
