The story that wasn't about the Ninth ward was Every Cop Show Ever. (The jerky cameras and regional details reminded me of Homicide of course.)I like the cop and his family, but I was kinda episode One bored by this installment. I'll watch it again, though, if Fox will let me(Cop shows take a while to build an audience, unless Reverend Wildmon protests again. Somebody get naked and say "goddamn" and trigger a boycott.)

I meant it, just not twice. Anthony Anderson was very good.

I'll give him a chance. I think I may have the same trouble others are having-having seen him in other things. I am happy that they're filming in NO. I think I'm like most people from there, we don't want you to think things are so bad you shouldn't visit or live there, but we also don't want you to think we don't still need help.

I hope you guys get your "Wire" eventually.(In terms of the money, and putting your problems on the map. Not the part where the city fathers whine about their images.)

Apparently we whined at first, but they were wearing actual Crecent City badges and the cars were right.

Isn't K-ville a network show?

and Wolfram beats me to the punch. not that i, you know, care so much. but people won't be able to find K-Ville talk if it's in here.

Damages -- did you guys think that the fight that David and Ellen were having brings the "past" up to right before the murder?

I mean, are we caught up?

Yeah, I suppose we could walk our happy asses to Procedurals. Next time.

Is it a procedural? I guess it's too soon to tell, but I suspect this show may be Natter fodder more than anything.
