The Wire -30- S05E10 (HBO)

The Wire is an American television drama set and produced in Baltimore, Maryland. Created, produced, and primarily written by author and former police reporter David Simon, the series is broadcast by the premium cable network HBO in the United States. The Wire premiered on June 2, 2002, with 50 episodes airing over the course of its first four seasons. The fifth and final season, which encompasses 10 episodes, premiered on January 6, 2008.

The plot of the first season centers on the ongoing struggles between police units and drug-dealing gangs on the west side of the city, and is told from both points of view. Subsequent seasons have focused on other facets of the city. The large cast consists mainly of character actors who are little known for their other roles. Simon has said that despite its presentation as a crime drama, the show is “really about the American city, and about how we live together. It’s about how institutions have an effect on individuals, and how…whether you’re a cop, a longshoreman, a drug dealer, a politician, a judge [or] lawyer, you are ultimately compromised and must contend with whatever institution you’ve committed to.

From the Wikipedia entry on The Wire.

The Wire is a show that is strangely addictive. I really enjoyed how the Barksdale investigation encompassed the first few seasons. This is something that never really happens in TV. The same investigation spanning three seasons? Anyway, the fifth season still uses elements from the first season. I think it’s a great show. I also enjoy how in the fifth season, Simon plans on featuring the media and how it impacts the city.

Prison Break The Art Of The Deal S03E13 (Fox)

Prison Break is an American serial drama television series that premiered on the Fox Broadcasting Company on August 29, 2005. The story revolves around a man named Lincoln Burrows who was sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit and his brother Michael Scofield’s elaborate plan to help him escape his death sentence.

Created by Paul Scheuring, the show is produced by Adelstein-Parouse Productions in association with Original Television and 20th Century Fox Television. The current executive producers are Paul Scheuring, Matt Olmstead, Kevin Hooks, Marty ,Brett Ratner.

The show is currently in its third season. The uniqueness of Prison Break is attributed to its serialized story structure, a similar format used by Lost and 24, and to its setting, as very few television series were primarily set and filmed in a prison. Its success and recognition as a prison drama revived interest in the genre following the success of Oz.

The Amazing Race The Final Push S12E11 (CBS)

It’s the last episode of this season’s Amazing Race. With the WGA strike still going on, CBS has already ordered another season of this reality TV show. Big Brother is returning on February 12th and Survivor is returning on February 7th. Reality TV is cheap to produce and script writers aren’t needed.

This season of the race was good. It ended all too quickly. Still, another season is coming up. Where will the future racers travel next?

Survivor China Slippery Little Sucker S15E14-15 (CBS)

It’s time for the season finale of Survivor.

It comes to no surprise how the end of this season played. By this statement, I mean that there was no doubt about who would make it into the final three.

Heroes Powerless S02E11 (NBC)

This is the season finale of the the hit show Heroes, which deals with ordinary people who have developed extraordinary powers.

I enjoyed the finale. It was a really nicely paced. I’m a bit disappointed that volume 3 Villains won’t start until next year. It seems that the season only just started. Oh well, I’m sure that the show will just get better. Other than Silar, I wonder which other villains it will feature. Adam is out of commission for now.
