My brother and SIL have been singing the praises of the Wire. I’m going to get the first season on DVD to watch this weekend. Commentary from an expert on gangs (and University of Chicago alum), Sudhir Venkatesh.
David Brooks is blogging.
Russell Arben Fox writes about why we should care about Huckabee.

Since I responsible for the TV crack of supply for B&SIL , you need to watch BROTHERHOOD on SHOWTIME as well. Its got everythign that you could possibly want: politics, crime, Rhode Island, and Anabeth Gish!
Also, get HBO in about 2 months so you can watch the wire season 5 on demand. You will watch the entire season straight without a chaser.
