With The Wire, David Simon and Ed Burns portrayed the most real possible more raw streets of Baltimore. Sidewalks and intricacies of the slums in a majority black city with an unemployment rate as criminal as the number of murders that occur each year: between 250 and 300, according to police in the city (in 2010 there was a positive record , to call it somehow, and the number of fatalities dropped to 223, the lowest in two decades). The Wire (2002-2008), produced by HBO, had five seasons in which he explained the world of drugs from several perspectives: the camels and their bosses, drug addicts, the police (which tries to do good, the corrupt, the easygoing, …), the ignorant politicians, the press and families, many of them unemployed, living in these neighborhoods. The series has a double origin. First, the book that Simon (a reporter for The Baltimore Sun) and Burns (homicide detective in the city) wrote and published in 1997, The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood, after three years of documentation and coexistence with people of one of these difficult areas. And second, The Corner, a miniseries adaptation (six chapters) of the book, and really serves as a preface to The Wire. A little gem from today you can enjoy again in TNT. In addition, double gift for a Saturday night: the revival of The Wire from the first chapter and the first season of Trent.

The forensic Las Vegas will have a new boss next season. A few weeks after it was confirmed that Laurence Fishburne was ending its (brief) in the series, CBS has announced that the CSI team will be more veteran led by Ted Danson.
The chain decided not to renew Fishburne by failing to raise the ratings of the series that still seem to acknowledge the departure of Grissom charismatic. Prior to confirmation of the signing of Ted Danson, several names were shuffled to the role as John Lightow (Dexter), Tony Shaloub (Monk) or Robin Williams, according to EW magazine.

The Top Gear expansion is growing to South Korea, becoming the second Asian nation – next to China – to spawn a version of the hit British show.

According to Final Gear, a South Korean version of Top Gear is currently being prepared using the same formula as all other versions of Top Gear. Although we don’t know who the prospective hosts are – reports are saying that it will probably be a professional race driver Kim Jin-Pyo, auto enthusiast Kim Kap-Soo, and local celebrity Yeon Jung-Hoon – these guys are probably big enough in their homeland to be tapped as the three hosts that will be joining the Korean Stig on the show.

While details are still being withheld, there’s word that the series is already in production for a 13-episode first season set to debut this August on a channel called XTM. Rumored segments including racing against a bullet train and a cross-country road trip.

House, also known as House, M.D., is an American medical drama television series created by David Shore and executive produced by Shore and film director Bryan Singer. The Emmy and Peabody Award-winning medical drama debuted on the FOX network on November 16, 2004. The series is currently the most watched scripted program on FOX and the second most watched FOX program overall, behind American Idol.

Gregory House, M.D., is a maverick medical genius, who heads a team of young diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey. Most episodes start with a cold open somewhere outside the hospital, showing the events leading to the onset of symptoms for that episode’s main patient. The episode follows the team in their attempts to diagnose and treat the patient’s illness.

Often the ailment cannot be easily deduced because the patient has lied about symptoms and circumstances. House frequently mutters, “Everybody lies,” or proclaims during the team’s deliberations: “The patient is lying,” or “The symptoms never lie.” Even when not stated explicitly, this assumption guides House’s decisions and diagnoses. House is in many respects a medical Sherlock Holmes. This resemblance is evident in various elements of the series’ plot, such as House’s reliance on psychology to solve a case, his reluctance to accept cases he does not find interesting, his drug addiction, home address (apartment 221B), playing of an instrument, relationship with Dr. James Wilson (a reference to Dr. John Watson), and his encounter with a crazed gunman credited as “Moriarty”, which is the same name as Holmes’ nemesis. Also, series creator David Shore has said that Dr. House’s name is meant as a “subtle homage” to Sherlock Holmes

Six young people from New York, on their own and struggling to survive in the real world, find the companionship, comfort and support they get from each other to be the perfect antidote to the pressures of life.
Rachel Green, a former popular girl in high school living off of daddy’s money, is independant now with a baby of her own that she had with Ross Gellar, a former flame that was temporarily rekindled after a drunken night which resulted in the baby. Ross is a paleontologist, he now lives in an apartment with Rachel, across the way from his sister, Monica Geller-Bing, a chef, and her new husband, Chandler Bing. Monica is a clean freak and very neurotic about it! and Chandler is laid back and uses humor as a defense mechanism. Across the hall from Monica and Chandler is Joey Tribiani, who now lives alone after Rachel moved out to move in with Ross because of the baby. Joey is a not-so-bright but sweet actor who recently made a big war movie and is on Days Of Our Lives. Another friend who we can’t forget about is Pheobe Buffay, who is now engaged and soon to be married to Mike. She is a free spirited masseuse who sings crazy songs like “Smelly Cat”. Their relationships with each other: -Rachel Green and Monica Gellar were best friends in high school, and after Rachel ran out on her wedding with Barry, she moved in with Monica, this was in the first season. -Monica Gellar and Ross Gellar are brother and sister. So Ross knew Rachel also from high school, when he had a crush on her. -Ross Gellar and Chandler Bing met in college and became best friends, Chandler met Rachel and Monica when Ross brought him home on Thanksgiving. Pheobe Buffay was Monica’s old roomate before the show started and Joey Tribiani came into the picture when he moved in with Chandler, also before the show started. It’s complicated, but one thing is for sure, they are all best “Friends.”
