HBO: Six Feet Under

My favorite "Brenda" line is from the episode where Nate and Brenda run into Keith and David at a restaurant and Nate intoroduces Brenda as his girlfriend and Brenda says in her ever so Brenda type way, "I prefer the term Fuck Puppet." Classic!

One marriage has come to a tragic end, another is beginning, and a third is on the rocks. At Fisher & Diaz, lives are in flux, as Nate, David, Ruth, Claire and Rico struggle to find their way. What's next? Find out when SIX FEET UNDER kicks off its fourth season SUNDAY, JUNE 13 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET), with the episode entitled "Falling Into Place," followed by other editions on subsequent Sundays at the same time, exclusively on HBO. In addition, the first three episodes of this season will air back-to-back on Sunday, July 4, beginning at 8:00 p.m.

Returning cast regulars on the show include Peter Krause, Michael C. Hall, Rachel Griffiths, Frances Conroy, Lauren Ambrose, Freddy Rodriguez, Mathew St. Patrick and James Cromwell. Guest stars appearing in the new season's 12 episodes include Mena Suvari ("American Beauty"), Ellen DeGeneres, Veronica Cartwright ("Just Married") and Michelle Trachtenberg ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), as well as returning guest stars Kathy Bates, Joanna Cassidy, Patricia Clarkson (Emmy® winner for Guest Actress in a Drama Series), Ben Foster, Richard Jenkins, Peter Macdissi, Justina Machado, Justin Theroux and Rainn Wilson.

Wrapping its third season last June, SIX FEET UNDER was created by Alan Ball (winner of the Best Original Screenplay Oscar� for "American Beauty"). Using dramatic irony and dark, situational humor, the show approaches the subject of death through the eyes of the Fisher family, who own and operate Fisher & Diaz Funeral Home in Los Angeles.
