@sstiltss I don't ask that all entertainment or art be as intelligent as THE WIRE, nor would I necessarily want it to be. Different approaches work with different materials, and there's nothing wrong with "straight entertainment" per se (I love martial arts movies, for goodness sake). I do ask, however, that it does insult my intelligence and more importantly that "it's just entertainment" isn't passed off as an excuse for the most neanderthal garbage imaginable.

Very true. Dumbing writing and other arts down is not some sort of 'best practice' - it's more of an accessibility issue that certain editors, such as Simon's former one, tend to do.
