Thanks to Whedonesque, I now know that The Hulk shares my esteem for The Avengers director Joss Whedon’s signature televisual creation: “THE HIGHS ONE EXPERIENCES OVER SEVEN SEASONS OF THAT SHOW ARE ESSENTIALLY UNPARALLELED. SO MUCH SO THAT HULK HAS TO SAY THAT BUFFY IS QUITE POSSIBLY, NAY, QUITE PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST TELEVISION SHOWS OF ALL TIME.”

Even better, The Hulk directs readers to a piece by David Simon discussing the Trayvon Martin case, the news media, the war on drugs, and more. But the important takeaway? The creator of “The Wire” also thinks that “Buffy” is the best TV show:

To be clear: I don’t think the Wire has all the right answers. It may not even ask the right questions. It is certainly not some flawless piece of narrative, and as many good arguments about real stuff can be made criticizing the drama as praising it. But yes, the people who made the Wire did so to stir actual shit. We thought some prolonged arguments about what kind of country we’ve built might be a good thing, and if such arguments and discussions ever happen, we will feel more vindicated in purpose than if someone makes an argument for why The Wire is the best show in years. (“Buffy,” by the way, was the correct answer to that particular bracketfest.)

Clearly what the world needs now is a David Simon ensemble drama further analyzing the effects of addictive magic–pushing warlocks like Rack on the broader Wiccan community.
