UB:

Because the Wire changed my life your cred for recommending TV and film skyrocketed. And so I purchased the first season of Mad Men. I watched 2 episodes and was very unimpressed. It's kind of neat that the show is set in the time and place that it is, but it's not in the same league as The Wire. Probably nothing is.

How many episodes of Mad Men do I need to watch before making up my opinion? If somebody were to ask this question to me about The Wire, I would have responded with the entire first season.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
