"The Wire" on HBO

linked to from freedarko, likely the same people more or less - which sounds kinda... i'm not sure.

first weeks numbers must've been good too

that doesn't take into account the weekly repeats on various hbo channels, or more importantly, On Demand. I'm surprised they renewed it so early.

they've still got Big Love, and David Milch's surf detective thing, something about vampires, and one more drama in the works for next year. i can't imagine any of those being breakout hits, though.

In episode 4, he moves up to a small town in New Hampshire and meets a charming coffee shop owner who is also a volunteer fireman.

deadwood was supposed to be about rome but hbo was all we already got one of those so the deadwood guy goes well i could put it in the old west or something

It was renewed, but only for one more season. The second season will be its last.

season 5 crossover w/ Six Feet Under

so OTM, a lot of the dialogue is well written but not really realistic at all, the "thin line 'tween heaven and here" type highfalutin Shakespeare lines and chess metaphors always make me roll my eyes. and I already ranted on my blog last week about how scarcely Baltimore accents are represented on the show. other than that though super psyched about season 4 so far and the news of renewal. also OTM about D'Agostino's hotness and her unexplained plumpness this season, her first scene in episode 1 i kept waiting for some reference to her being pregnant or something.

mcnulty's is laughable but since having recently heard him interviewed in his heavy brit accent i give him credit for whatever american accent he's managed thus far.

been up since thurs - dude claims he's gonna post 4.3 today.

is there some sort of registration required for this site for later use? e-mail me if so.

I plead combination of Deadwood hangover, start of football season, and 6-day workweeks.

Thank the lord for HBO on demand...

- cool Lester Smooth
- Prez still using Ring of Fire as his "getting shit done song".
- Cutty! Positive and popular (as he deserves)
- Platinum club! Ha. Good one Avon.
- Wee Bay's spoilt son!

I know there was more.

yeah, this is a funny riff that also gets at, you know, "deeper underlying issues" (the dearth of eligible black men of a certain age in inner-city neighborhoods). that's when the show's at its best i think, wrapping social observations in offhanded moments.

I'm especially fond of the Cutty thing, because he plays it so well too. He seems so innocent and almost unaware, and you can totally see why all the ladies love him. And it's a nice turnaround from last season where I always felt he was getting hard done by. So it's all going to go wrong, right?

I always think I really like Bodie, then I'm all "But you killed Wallace in a really mean way! Poor Wallace." but then Bodie has a funny scene with Carver and I'm all "awww, you guys!".

yeah they're totally fucking w/us.

Yeah, I def have the feeling bad things are going to happen. sad

- MAYORAL BONER (WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF)

- clay davis' twice uttered shhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiit (especially the 1st time).

OTM

- what's up w/marlo losing his composure at a little kid?

That was odd at first but i thought it became apparent that he was just trying to get a rise out of Michael. When he makes that face, Marlo kinda laughs and lets him go on his way.

i don't think ignoring the situation would've made marlo look weak - everyone knows he's deadly already. if anything it was lame to show that he cared at all - seems like he has a lot to learn about wearing the crown.
