Hey, hey, hey! Let's be careful out there.

Undercover Black Man, aka Emmy-winning writer/producer and friend of this blog David Mills ("The Corner," "Kingpin," "NYPD Blue," etc.), is spending some of his on strike time trying to illustrate the value of those striking writers. As he puts it:

But all the ups and downs and twists and turns between now and strike�s end are of diminishing interest to me.

What I�d rather do is celebrate TV writers. And remind the world of what we do... and why we deserve respect.

So, for as long as this strike continues, I�ll be shining a spotlight on some good TV writing. Starting with �All in the Family,� a brilliantly written show, a jewel of American pop culture.

So in each post, he spotlights an audio clip (to focus on the words the writers wrote) of a scene from a classic TV show. The first one, as mentioned above, is from "All in the Family," the second from "Hill Street Blues," and he has lots more in mind.

And speaking of the strike, I'll have some kind of story about the no-frills presentation of the Golden Globes up tonight around 10:30, along with posts on "Sarah Connor Chronicles" and "The Wire." Busy Sunday; no time for cupcakes or Narnia.
