Silly TV question

[mrissa]

If any of you out there watch Saving Grace and can answer a very simple question for me, I'd appreciate it:

Does Earl the Angel continue to chaw tobacco after the pilot?

This is silly, I know, but one of the main reasons I have things to watch on DVD is so that I can work out while watching them, get hungry thereby, and help combat the vertigo nausea. The problem is that spat-out chewed tobacco bits or juice may be the single most disgusting thing I can think of, so disgusting that its visual representation nauseates me because my brain supplies the smell. So if Earl is going to continue with this behavior, I don't know that this show will work for me as workout fodder.

(I think it would be a lot more common for someone to have this visceral and strong a reaction to, say, the corpses and maggots and things on Bones, or the violence in a number of other shows I've enjoyed. But no: for me the deal breaker is consistently depicted chaw or snus. I can barely get past it in written fiction, and filmed is right out. Blarg.)

You know I've watched a couple of episodes and I think he continues chewing. He may eventually stop but why bother? I find spitting in general to be stomach churningly repulsive also, and I didn't wait around to find out.

He does it through a good bit of s1, but in later seasons, i hardly remember it at all. If you can manage to get through it, the later seasons will make up for it...

I have the same problem with those depictions, but unfortunately don't know anything about the program.

I don't recall him doing it at all for quite some time. It's possible he chews throughout season one and I just don't recall, but if I were to guess I'd say it was most prominent in the first episode and less so as it goes on.

No idea but glad it's not only me. I'd tell you stories from when I lived in Texas, but they'd make both of us gag.

Hrm. I hope I still have the receipt for that variety pack of Skoal I bought you for Christmas.
