TV BUZZ: Written by Jonathan Ames and starring Jason Schwartzman and Zach Galifianakis — with Kirsten Wiig, Parker Posey, Ted Danson and likely a slew of others — Bored To Death is HBO's fall hope for a new hit. Schwartzman plays a Brooklyn writer living out his noir detective fantasies. Galifianakis apparently plays his bearded accomplice, or just an insane person.

TV BUZZ: HBO has picked up Wire wizard David Simon's new show about post-Katrina New Orleans. Simon claims it won't be The Wire , but Bunk and Freamon are already on board. I think I just heard the collective hyper-educated urban male demographic squealing in glee.

TV BUZZ: The First Family's TV habits include a lot of sports and HBO. Your president loves Entourage so much that he actually schedules conference calls around the show. Did he miss the “Smart Dudes Love 'The Wire' More Than Anything” memo? Because Lloyd is the best, but maybe the President should have a favorite show that does not rely on 4 plots and good-natured racism.

Is serial slavish critical devotion to a revolving set of shows — from Sopranos to The Wire to Mad Men — a sign of the shallowness of our cultural discourse, or our deep need to connect? I love think pieces about TV, and also Mad Men is so totally awesome, you should really watch it!
