I didn't watch, but I understand Jimmy Fallon was horrible which doesn't surprise me in the least.
But I was watching TV and SPORTS!!!
So for this shit storm we are combining TV CHARACTERS with sports we would like to see them play.
For instance.
The Emmy's were on last night
I always thought Chris Partlow would be a great football player. Most likely on the defensive side of the ball. He'd be that quiet guy the first day, just putting on his pads, doing the stretches. The Oklahoma drill comes up and WHACK, he just starts lighting people up.
My only request is that we get creative with this so please no, "Bunk once played Lax."
Last night was the series finale of Lost, or as I like to call it "Gilligans Island on Acid."
I didn't watch it because I could care less about smoke monsters, however it does bring up a nice little shit storm.
What is the best series finale of all time?
Now, for our writers/readers who continually disregard the prompts presented in the shit storm I do want to emphasize that this is best FINALE not the best TV show.
Understood?
As you probably surmised this storm is yet another excuse to talk about the greatest TV show of all time.
The Wire.
This is also an excellent opportunity (For myself and Icehouse) to flex our Wire elitism by showing how our show is better than your show.
Go ahead and challenge us. Everyone who had some sort of emotional experience during Lost, grew up with Friends, or thought Seinfeld is bigger than it actually is have NO FUCKING CLUE.
Let's examine The Wire series finale.
In the final montage we see that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Corner boys will still be slinging, cops drinking, politicians corrupting, newspapers dying, hoppers.....hopping, addicts shooting, and honest people will still climb the uphill battle of doing right in this world.
While the 5th season wasn't the best it did accomplish a lofty goal. The ever cynical Simon did manage to tie up some emotional connection we've had over the years while giving enough information to predict/debate what would come of our favorite characters in the future.
