Writitude, Tee-Vee Edition
Writitude is an occasional gratitude list of resonant writing, sometimes found in unexpected places. Like TV.
1. Mad Men (AMC), because it’s both subtle and stylish in its uncomfortable insights.
2. The Ex List (CBS), because it’s adorable, and benefits from careful listening.
3. Chuck (NBC), because it’s extra adorable, along with being super-spy-ish.
4. Life on Mars (ABC), because it’s deep and sly at the same time. And they used Sweet’s “Little Willie” during an action sequence.
5. Eli Stone (ABC), because it’s not afraid of the inexplicable, and has lines like, “You’re one of those people for whom ‘normal’ is a failure of potential.”
