Good evening Ladies & Gentlemen, and welcome back to “The Weeksly Late Editionâ€. Being so early in the year, there’s not a hell of a lot to talk about just yet, especially with the Writer’s Strike still on, but while I’m on the subject – Happy New Year to one & all – but enough of that shit, let’s get on with it:
So, again, not a hell of a lot of news to go along with at the moment, so instead, let’s focus on the easy shit, starting with one of the best shows ever – “The Wireâ€. If you’re on of those people from what-it’s-name… The U.S., you can catch the 5th (and final) season premiere of the show on HBO on Demand – and continue to do so every Monday for the 10 episode season. If you’ve never seen “The Wireâ€, you’re fucking mental, and shouldn’t keep reading. But if you have, and love it, you may also want to consider picking up “The Wire: And All the Pieces Matter – Five Years of Music from the Wire”, which sounds pretty awesome from the previews I’ve listened to.
Here’s the preview for the season:
OK – I’m not sure what this means exactly, but I figured I’d pass it on to you – anyone heard of this company before? ;):

OK, time for another press release, this time concerning the show I voted for as “Worst Pilot of 2007â€, “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chroniclesâ€:
