    Anyone else like to see a spinoff with Gus taking a buyout and editing a small metro?
    Gus is the best journalism character since Lou Grant.

    Watching this episode for the fourth time. Anyone else have trouble understanding what Gus was saying early on when explaining why The Sun would be working on homelessness until December. I've never heard anyone pronounce Pulitzer as puh-lisser. I've always said and heard Poolitzer.

    I think he is better on the Wire than he was on Homicide.

    And that is really saying a lot.

    It actually is Puh-Litzer (or puh-lisser). That was how the guy's name was pronounced.

    From the Pulitzer prize committee's website:

    18. How is "Pulitzer" pronounced?
    The correct pronunciation is "PULL it sir."

    Huh? Do you pronounce "pull" and "pool" the same? (I feel like one of those 'what's your accent' quizzes.)

    Yes, I pronounce them the same. I don't say poowl and I definitely wouldn't say poowlitzer.

    Anyway, I was talking about Gus pronouncing it puh (rhymes with duh) ... just never heard it that way ...
