Post #52 On the tube...

Anyone who has been reading my postings lately knows that I am a huge fan of the show LOST. However, there are some other shows that have occupied my time. I finished "The Wire" about a month ago. It is unfortunate that I only learned about this show after it had finished its final season.

Such is the case for "The Shield." I am about to start the sixth season. I love stories about police officers who have become jaded and corrupt. This goes back to a previous post about why I love the Jack Bauer character from "24." Another show that I look forward to watching when it returns in March is "Rescue Me."

My father was a fire fighter. So the story of "Rescue Me" is one I understand: the hero at work who cannot save his family. Not that my dad was all that bad, but I saw it in other fire fighters. I also saw the dedication to the job that my dad had. IT is interesting to see it on a tv show.
