Table-talk of Parkus Grammaticus for March 18, 2008

I. Gratuitous Cavemen slam of the day:

The past few months have offered little reason to maintain a contrarian’s faith in network comedy. I was just about to bring up “Cavemen,” but I can hear you doing it first. —NYT

II. My controversial rebuttal:

Cavemen > The Wire

III. Sloane Crosley is charming! And she mentions me in every interview!

IV. New-York Ghost is charming! The new issue features Paul Collins's latest etymological spelunkery.

V. Light Reading is charming! This is a charming parenthetical:

Hmmm, I have not really read Flaubert or Maupassant since I was a teenager (I was a very serious teenager, though!)
