It's the best show on television. Just admit it.

I'm glad season four is being released on DVD at a significantly lower SRP. I hope HBO sees good returns on this and learns from it.
I've been thinking I need to blitz through all four seasons again before season five debuts in... what, February?
It's the greatest show there ever was. Cue number8 saying Homicide was better in...
He hasn't even finished The Wire, so his opinion isn't valid. I don't say that The Wire is better than Homicide because I haven't seen the latter.
February can't come soon enough.
Homicide is better.
If we ever get rep, expect some negative.Quoting number8 (view post)
I think I'll watch Homicide soon. It really makes no sense that I haven't watched it at all yet.
$27.49 right away for a HBO TV Series? Done.
Been rewatching some clips of this on youtube lately, and some random thoughts:
-Dukie isn't a parallel to Bubbles. Sadly, he's more like a parallel to Sherrod, a friend of Bubbles that overdoses. Dukie never had a family that cut ties with him because of the addiction. Instead, Dukie's family simply was never there. I imagine Dukie would die of an overdose or a beating in the next season if there ever was one. Every scene of his is pretty painful to watch.
-Background noises are pretty funny as far as people yelling. When Michael starts beating up Kenard (name?), you hear someone in the background yell, "Hahaha, that little dude is getting his ass beat, hahaha." I don't know why, just find those random lines funny.
-Dogs bark a lot, but I don't think I ever see them.
-Kenard is in the show a whole lot more than I thought.
i just watched the first three episodes. the first episode didn't wow me, as i was expecting 'the best show on television' to. at first i found it slightly derivative. but after awhile, i realized with the first episode, they weren't trying to impress anybody, they were just doing what they do. and by the end of the second episode i could tell i was hooked. episode three capped it off. the scene with d'angelo teaching those kids how to play chess was great. d'angelo appears to be the most sympathetic character to me. which is unique. though mcnulty is good too. netflix can't get disc 2 to me soon enough.
Here are some new short promos for season 5:

Awesome stuff!
I'm torn. Do I watch those, or do I go into the new season fresh? The temptation will likely get the better of me down the line, but for now I'll hold off.
I couldn't resist watching them. If you've seen the older promo of season 5, then you'd know what the McNulty one is about.
This season is gonna be fantastic.
I'll bet that Bubbles will be the first actor to get nominated from the Wire for what he'll go through this season.
It'll be well-deserved, but overlooked at the same time because many other performances should've been nominated already, especially last season with Carcetti and the boys.
The Wire is being remastered and rebroadcast in HD
Perfect time to watch the series again!
Good thing I held out to watch this.
Late to the show per usual, but I just finished season one the other day. Fuck me for neglecting this series for so long. Just based on the one season, I can say this is one of the best shows I've seen.
Indeed. Please share your thoughts as you progress through the series!

It's like crack, the n00b comments, isn't it?Please share your thoughts as you progress through the series!
It's the only way we can relive the fresh beauty of watching it for the first time.
Ahah! I told you to watch this show two years ago. I hope now you've finally learned your lesson.

Movie Theater Diary
I do remember. People fight this show so hard for some reason. Now I'm trying to convince my roommate to watch Breaking Bad. He watched the first three eps a year ago and won't continue. *tears hair out*

What shows does he like?
I understand Mara completely, but from my own experience (and pardon the reference) - you can't be told how good it is. You just have to see it.
I find it's even hard to describe to anyone, especially (and hopefully this doesn't sound too snobby) if they haven't had an academic background. I can talk about Greek tragedy, socioeconomic themes, political criticism, urban decay, and so on forever but too many people will inevitably ask me: "well, what's the plot?" which is pretty much impossible to answer without it sounding like a cop show.
