Just now starting the wire... is the entire show in a 4:3 aspect ratio? I don't think that would ever stop bugging me

When I bought the first season, I was disappointed in the first episode. Didn't get why everyone loved it.

But, I quickly became addicted. It is a great, great show.

Yes. Simon said they could have switched to hd at one point, but he wanted to keep it consistent. Think he also said it worked better for the show.

Has anyone noticed how they've sexed up The Weather Channel? Some jaw-dropping women telling people that there are going to be scattered thunderstorms in the midwest.

So I watched an episode and a half of this terrible show on HBO (I think) called Jonah from Tonga. As I was trying to figure out if it was watchably terrible or just terrible it struck me as sort of familiar. Then I remembered my stepdaughter talking about some show she recommended for my daughter called Summer Heights High out of Australia. And I remember my wife saying, 'Oh yeah, it's really good', but I think she must just be trying to remain hip and relevant because it has to be terrible.
My very literate step daughter likes some awful television.
