I was just venting rage at my little computer. I'll try and watch that in the future.<BR/><BR/>Dan FAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902716.post-18420601582278796952008-07-22T16:14:00.000-07:002008-07-22T16:14:00.000-07:00Danny -"The Wire" doesn't ring true?

Edward James Olmos and Michael Hogan, at minimum, deserve nods, but the others in that cast provide truly great performances as well. The Emmys, despite all the money and gowns and statues, amazingly manages to fall below the status of most of the shows nominated. It's like The State of the Union being delivered by the mailman.Matthew Trumbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09926365388225460904noreply@blogger.com
