Still trying to establish if the Tee-Jay’s logo is a chicken or a turducken.

I’m jealous- missed the last Moro Brothers show in Ho-Ho-Kus.

Any mention of Paul Lo Duca reminds me of the ridiculous media treatment of Paul DePodesta in LA, which was subsequently adopted by the fanbase. When he traded Lo Duca, he was blasted for dealing him because he was the heart and soul of the team. Since then, practically everything you read about Lo Duca justifies that trade.

I wouldn’t be in such an all-fired rush to get shysterkids to the shooting gallery when we can bring you… http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8370859.stm

Hard to say, Alex. It might be four in terms of quality. But at the same time, I often found four the hardest to watch. Season five often felt over-the-top (in a good way), though I maybe took more enjoyment out of it because I knew it was the last season and spent a lot of time speculating about where things were going.  And ####, three was pretty awesome too.

Hate to cop out, but every season was outstanding. If I had to rate them I’d go 4, 5, 3, 2, 1, but don’t take that as a slight on one or two.

Throwed rolls? Who sez them there Missouians ain’t edumucated?

Crazy, another Alex interested in how you like “The Wire” what are the chances?

Don’t give up on TV.  Watch Mad Men.  And if you want some laughs, Nurse Jackie and Bored to Death.

I can’t be bothered to look up what season it was, but for me the low point of The Wire was the “educators as saviors” storyline.  I don’t hold that profession in high enough regard I guess.  And the last season, which strived to be absurdist, came up a bit short.  But that is all a quibble, you have to admire it for it’s ambition if nothin else.

Interesting that you liked 5 that much, Craig; it was way too over-the-top for me, and the newspaper plot was more self-indulgent and preachy than I thought Simon was capable of.

My rank: 4, 2 & 3(tie), 1, 5. For some reason I seem to be the only person who liked 2 and the dockworker plot. How ironic is it that the season that had the MOST white people is disliked?

Craig, you’re obviously an excellent writer, because you get the crazy in a way that the other CTB writers do not. Congrats and good luck.

I always want to comment on your posts, but the already-existing commetns are SO BAD.
