American TV critics really have a great setup, they get paid to watch TV and every few months, they get wined, dined and fed information by the people they cover.
On the current tour, HBO announced that it will be debuting the second season of its fantastic show "Rome" early next year. It will be the show's last, however, because it's so expensive to produce (and very well done).
I'm dissappointed but partly happy because that keeps "Rome" from devolving into the recycled nonsense that "The Sopranos" and "Sex and the City" turned into.
