Question: This past fall, I saw a performance of
King Lear at the Goodman Theater in Chicago, and I really didn't understand the play. These past six weeks, I have actually learned what
King Lear is about while watching
Slings & Arrows. The last 15 minutes of this series had me in tears. Please don't forget about
Slings & Arrows when referencing season/series finales, and this year's finest shows.
Answer: Mea culpa for not bringing up
Slings & Arrows in
my recent roundup of last Sunday's season/series finales. A pure oversight, since I'd watched all six episodes in a single sitting several months ago and hadn't done the math to realize the finale was airing the same night as
Rome,
BSG,
Grease!,
etc. If it's any consolation, it is on my (current) short list of "best of 2007" shows, right up there with
Friday Night Lights,
Battlestar Galactica,
30 Rock, post-hiatus
Lost and
Planet Earth.
