Outside of a few straggling pre-strike eps of shows like "Friday Night Lights", "The Wire" just might be the only thing worth watching on your TV for the next few months. For those of us who love great television, "The Wire," is turning out to have a lotta psychic weight piled on top of it, since it’s now not just the Last Great HBO Show, but maybe The Last Great Show You’ll Actually See A Full Season of in 2008.

Keep fighting the good fight, Medialoper.

Strangely enough, we spotted David Caruso in Morton’s in Burbank this evening, however, he wasn’t saying anything, so we couldn’t tell if he was, um, pleasuring any Martians
