Nice! Hill Street Blues was a real groundbreaker.

I liked when Milch was quoted: "I've joked that if I just can make $25 million on this show, I'll be even on research expenses."

The perils of ownership.

Hopefully,they won't have that "Jimmy the Hat" guy in it.Most likely,they will F_ck it up and continue the "degenerate gambler" image that Hollywood portrays all the time.

I'm estimating that 90% or more of the people who post on this site like to think of themselves as "degenerate gamblers" and think that it's cool or romantic to associate themselves with the wise guy culture in any way, shape, or form. Somehow, it becomes offensive when the rest of the country takes that viewpoint.

The lead character, not yet cast, is Ace Bernstein,

Remind anyone else of Ace Rothstein? Now if they could only get Deniro to play that part too.

Chances of Milch.... "F_cking it up"

YES +800
NO -1000

I still have a major beef with the way Deadwood was treated, although assigning proportionate blame between Milch and HBO is not clear. But somebody needed to be fed to Mr. Wu's pigs.

David Milch has won 2 Breeders' Cups, has been in the game for nearly 30 years, is one of television's most creative and groundbreaking minds, but he's going 'phuck up' a project he's been waiting years to do. Right...
