Interesting artcile on HBO's The Wire

One thing is there are many really good shows out right now. TV has never been better, IMO. You used to get like 1 good show a year, but now there seems to be several going on at the same time. You can't watch them all, unfortunately.

Even though I watch hardly any TV mostly due to time pressure and a tendency to lose interest during commercial breaks (i.e., my mind wanders into the world of my anxieties) I realize there's some real good stuff out there.

A lot of things in culture and lifestyle are very good these days but many people around my age (I'm 52) often don't thing so. IMO it's the nostalgia trap; that is comparing the average of today with the best of something from years ago. It's simply not a fair comparison.
