1-5 Recap	Sweet Merciful God, It's Over Red Herring - Wallace gets off twice in this episode -- once with a woman, and once because he's cleared or murder. The Ghost of Cancellation Future visits a screening of Deadline and, horrified, pulls the plug.	2000.10.30 2000.11.02	D	Heathen

1-1 Recap	The Boozehound Newshound Pilot - Whiskey-sodden New York Ledger reporter Wallace Benton (Oliver Platt) decides that his job description includes drinking, playing cops and robbers, drinking, drinking, and never going to work. And drinking.	2000.10.02 2000.10.03	D	Heathen
