Short TV Post
Dr. Who ended well. Goodbye, Eccleston--you did well if only for a short time. Rose and Captain Jack remain in the TARDIS, with the 10th Doctor, next season. Too bad Douglas Adams is dead.
Rescue Me has shed the detritus that doomed Leary's first TV series, The Job, (which was pretty good)--the girl is gone, Uncle Teddy is in prison, having murdered the drunk driver who killed Leary's only son, so he'll only be around in short, acceptable bursts. It's not all Leary self destructing all the time. I like it a lot. Tatum O'Neal is remarkably good. Who knew?
Deadwood started a new season strong with its sharp, near poetry, script. This is the last season--that's a shame; but I admit that I'd hate to see tired, bad Deadwood--so let's go out on top.
New episodes of The Shield and The Wire wait in the wings. There will be 8 more Sopranos and at least 13 more episodes of Rome. Life is good
