Is it just me?

I've never watched an episode of The Wire (the "best show on television"), nor did I ever see an episode of The Sopranos (which I gather from recent articles was the previous claimant to the "best show" accolade); I generally watch little-to-no broadcast television. I'm sure that's most of the reason I'm getting heartily sick of all the fin-de-siecle sturm-und-drang about the end of The Wire that seems to be clogging up every blog these days.

Even Reason, one of my favourite sources of information (both in print and online), has been posting their fair share of pissing and moaning about the demise of the "best thing on television".

I don't actually have anything to say about the show, but I had to register my petty annoyance somewhere. Guys, if television is that important to you all . . . you need to get out more!
