The Bronx is Burning - Finale
You would think a show about the most exciting season ever in Yankee history would be appointment TV at my house. Nettles, Reggie, Billy Martin, my favorite player Thurman Munson, knowing how it ends, I would have my ass firmly planted in front of the set. The opposite has been true.
I was 15 years old during the Summer of Sam. A city on the edge because of a serial killer. Say what you want about David Berkowitz, but he really did love his dog.
So why haven't I watched? Well I tried. I watched the first episode. John Turturro looks like Billy Martin and Oliver Platt seemed right on as King George. My problem was the commerical break every 6 minutes. Being a ESPN owned vehicle, the WWLIS decided to stretch out the series by adding hours of commercials between minutes of acting. I just couldn't do it. I'll get it from NetFlix in a few months. Thanks again ESPN.
