Mamet speak

Fans of David Mamet, writer of films such as "Glengarry Glen Ross," will be glad to hear that his new CBS series "The Unit" opened to boffo ratings last night, which means it could be around for a while.

I have it on Tivo and haven't watched it yet but it seems to me Mamet-speak would be better suited for cable, where his dialogue wouldn't be as constricted, compared to broadcast.
