I'm going to add Pressing Issues to our favorite links list so I can easily check in to see if he has any new newspaper biz/Wire observations after each episode of The Wire, my second favorite TV show. Speaking of which, what are your favorite TV shows right now? Mine are:
1. Hoooouse
2. The Wire
3. 30 Rock
4. The Closer
5. American Idol
6. The Office

House is fine, but The Wire is brilliant -- not only the best show on now, but maybe the best TV show ever. I can't think of a better one anyway.
Jeopardy
two and a half men
ugly Betty
House
I guess I will have to check out the Wire, but I prefer shows that can make me laugh.
The Daily Show
Project Runway
Iron Chef
Bill Moyers Journal
