One of my future 'American pop culture' road trips is going to have to be a John Waters/Wire themed Baltimore journey...

Don't forget "Homicide: Life on the Street" (1993-99).

I'd like to add myself to the tiny but dedicated chorus of Wire-lovers. We're at the end of season one right now, and it really is stellar in every respect. All these characters have such depth and complexity – it's incredible that I find myself supporting both sides at once.…

Yes Russell. It makes no sense. How much does it cost to run off a few DVDs? It's not like they're trying to keep the gene pool of quality up or anything. The Wire is a difficult series for both programmers and viewers in a regular broadcasting format but it…

Bob – season three of The Wire also aired late night on TV2 – and, unfortunately, will not be released in R4 at all...

And these are the people who didn't want us to have region-free DVD players either. There's a point where it starts to look like contempt.

Thanks Graeme. I've downloaded series three and watched it right thru on the computer. It is very fine. There was tremendous satisfaction in the final episode as it all came together. It's a tour de force.

Whenever I see the The Wire mentioned I have to add my ten cents. This is one of the greatest TV series ever made in my opinion. If we are living in a golden age of American drama, surely The Wire stands there with any thing else. i think it's…

Real, genuine, old-school tape? Or that newfangled virtual tape stuff?

No point now.

There is always a point to watching Letterman.

Ah, stink. That's the info I was sent. I taped it too, but haven't had a chance to look. No point now.

Highlight: Flight of the Conchords on Letterman on Tuesday.

'Fraid not. Can you stick something sharp up the bottom of the Prime publicity dept? It's not the first time they've been found wanting ...

Hi guys, have updated for Thursday and Friday and speculated on the identity of the Shortland Street kill-ah. Also, Flight of the Conchords starting Sep 17 on Prime, also the new local sitcom Welcome to Paradise.

Actor Denis Leary and musical guests Flight of the Conchords on Letterman.

Looks like yet another week of re-runs – Dave must be in sunny Acapulco again.

Still, at least we get to see FOC — since Prime bumped it for the league last time (when the original ep was…

I was pleasantly surprised by The Class yesterday

I was pleasantly surprised by The Class yesterday – though it only lasts a season.

And don't forget that Lost Jr. heads straight into its second season this afternoon:)

And yet again, with the first series of Who do you think you are? thought good, TV One saw fit to…
