The Bronx Is Burning

As I sat here tonight surfing the web I came across an advertisement for a upcoming miniseries on ESPN called The Bronx Is Burning.

I was interested if for no other reason then that could easily be a newspaper headline almost each day of the season thus far.

As I began surfing the website for the series I became more interested, enough so that I will likely watch this 8-part series that debuts July 9 after the All Star game on ESPN.

It didn't hurt ESPN's chances of me watching that a very underappreciated Oliver Platt stars as George Steinbrenner. Or that the usually entertaining John Turturro stars as Billy Martin.

ESPN has a number of clips from the series up on the web here.

I know a lot of you reading this probably have no interest in a series about the Yankees, but this looks to be an entertaining event when it premiers ina couple weeks.

I of course will post my thoughts of The Bronx Is Burning after I watch it.
