The Wire

I'm halfway through season 4 and I can't get enough.

The Wire was an HBO series that ended after 5 seasons. Clearly the best writers in the country don't write for the movies anymore. They are writing for shows like Madmen and The Wire. It's so great to watch a show that takes 12 episodes to complete the story. I'm 54 hours into this and the characters and story are still growing - amazing.

Thanks Chris. The show rocks

    OMG, The Wire. When the history of television is written, The Wire will be the story. Unbelievable. And, unfortunately, all too true. How can anyone ever beat those odds and get out of that mess. One in a million, unfortunately. Oh man, don't get me going...The Wire is amazing on every level.It's mind-expanding and opens up new levels of awareness of the plight of those struggling so bad in this country.

    Watch this interview with David Simon on Bill Moyers Journal. As riveting as the show.

    It's amazing. And the last season is as well done as the first.

    I miss Bubbs.    I liked the season about the kids and the boxer (Season 4?).  Very, very moving.

    I was more sad when that show ended than I was with Seinfeld or The Soprano's.  The Wire was so frigging realistic.

    I miss Bubbles too. And Steve Earle as Waylon? Pretty cool.
    My gf rescued an abused dog and named him Dukie. Full name, Duquon Weems. Fits perfectly.
    Michael, Bug, Bodie...Those kids in that show break your heart.

    Omar and Stringer Bell were my favorites. I was saddened as each of them were blasted into the next world.

    I LOVED Dukie!  I was always afraid they were going to have him killed.  My wife and I loved, loved, loved that show.

    Many years ago (and unfortunately it was) I bought a treadmill and used to watch Homicide: LIfe on the Streets episodes while I ran. Perfect 44 minute chunks to unplug the brain and run too. So the wire is just a great long addition to a great group of writers, directors etc.

    Besides I love Steve Earle...

    I hate how shows like that end, and shows like cougar town continue

    PS Halligan, I love your profile shot LOL
