And a really amazing soundtrack -- thanks to my insider connections, I have an unofficial version of it.<BR/><BR/>I've read most of the pilots that David has written for the networks and I'm witness to how good they were. My favorites -- "Mayor of Baltimore" and the one about journalism -- would be classics by now if only the networks would have seen the wisdom of putting them on the air.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, folks. As great a blogger UBM is, he should be running his own t.v. show. We'd all be better for that.S.O.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13516730967355152655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-32837103985359030022007-05-14T10:40:00.000-07:002007-05-14T10:40:00.000-07:00^ And he played the serious, dark moments so real ...^ And he played the serious, dark moments so real as well...
