I was intrigued until I hit the third sentence.

HBO has seen the light and is bringing "Preacher" to the small screen.

The pay cable network is developing a one-hour series based on the popular 1990s Vertigo comics series. Mark Steven Johnson, the writer-director behind comic adaptations "Daredevil" and the upcoming "Ghost Rider," is writing the pilot, while Howard Deutch is attached to direct. Johnson and Deutch will executive produce along with Michael De Luca, George Agusto, Chris Bender and JC Spink.

Dude, seriously. While I will admit to enjoying Grumpy Old Men, I think that had more to do with Lemmon and Matthau than the writing, and I still want those hours of my life back that I spent watching Daredevil.

I haven't seen anything that indicates he has any of the skills a writer would need to adapt Preacher.

Yes...would watch Lemmon and Matthau read the phone directory, but they were comic geniuses, right?

...I still want those hours of my life back that I spent watching Daredevil.

Wait, that was only hours?

Wait, that was only hours?

I know, it was like being caught in an event horizon.

...I still want those hours of my life back that I spent watching Daredevil.

And Elektra, please. Though was that written by him? I can't recall?

I swear, in that movie I'd look at my watch out of boredom every half hour or so and realize that only 15 seconds had passed since the last time I checked it.

Hmm, serial is particularly appropriate given this post...

Did anyone else crack up at Dexter's expression after he beaned Paul with the frying pan? That look Michael C. Hall gave was the funniest thing in the whole series to date.

I lost it, Matt. It was hilarious.

No thoughts on the penultimate Wire of S4?
