Rather than give you my "Prison Break" thoughts...
... might I point your way towards Ed Bark (aka Uncle Barky, the recently-departed TV critic for the Dallas Morning News and one of the best writers -- and nicest guys -- in the business) and his new blog, Above the Fold?
As a former Dallasite who admired Bark's work growing up, I really must commend his willingness to speak out against the dumbing down of the DMN. That said, the DMN (at least when I was young) did do one thing that I wish more papers would--"Overnight," which was the inside back cover of the metro section, covered the previous night's events in a timely manner.
Thanks for passing along the word about Bark. I'm just up the road from him (5 hours or so, at least) and have been a longtime reader, but I hadn't heard that he left. I can certainly sympathize with him, and I thoroughly admire his speaking-out.
