Stand-up comic Patton Oswalt (The King of Queens, Comedians of Comedy, Reno 911) has one of the better celebrity blogs I've found. Maybe that's because he mostly talks about comic books and bad road food, and has yet to format anything to look like poetry. His blog's pretty funny, the fact that he calls it his "spew" not withstanding. Right now he's begging his readers to tune into HBO Sunday night and watch The Wire season 4. Like others have, Patton calls The Wire the "best show ever on television." Here's the money quote : "The Wire is one of the few times you'll watch TV and not feel like the people making TV think you're a fucking idiot."
The show's creator David Simon says he always planned a five year arc for the series, and HBO's execs are saying that a fifth season depends on how well this upcoming season does. HBO is at least behind the series this time. Just look at all The Wire advertising on the web.
Won't you help young Patton achieve his dream of seeing his favorite show (and mine) through to the end? It costs only an hour a week. Please give what you can.
