His novelistic style needs more time than a movie can deliver, but he covers his topics in such a manner that commercial television can't handle him.Dana Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350344882342624735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-66002965459591837362010-04-13T11:30:19.728-04:002010-04-13T11:30:19.728-04:00yes, but the focus is not on crime so far.yes, but the focus is not on crime so far.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-42180996832344392932010-04-13T10:53:32.967-04:002010-04-13T10:53:32.967-04:00I couldn't live without ON DEMAND and the DVR....I couldn't live without ON DEMAND and the DVR. The number of commercials has just ruined most dramas now. <br />I am very happy to have a show I like that doesn't center on crime. Music and New Orleans-what could be better? I like crime but there are way too many crime-oriented dramas now. Yeah, the 90 minutes at ten on a Sunday night was off-putting.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-84203565367777813852010-04-13T10:53:00.248-04:002010-04-13T10:53:00.248-04:00This sounds a bit like THE WIRE in New Orleans.

But I'm seriously beginning to wonder what the hell is going on at HBO. Couldn't they have waited another week or so and put this into the friendlier 9:00 time slot after "The Pacific" was over? Don't they want people to watch it? And this coming after they stupidly squashed "Big Love" into nine episodes this year. I'm certainly glad my cable company has On Demand.MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12515927050827397245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-71565625477741391032010-04-13T10:30:25.385-04:002010-04-13T10:30:25.385-04:00It's times like this I wish I had HBO.It's times like this I wish I had HBO.Naomi Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005429772070247806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-15788497116687929602010-04-13T09:55:30.861-04:002010-04-13T09:55:30.861-04:00OOH!
