  wire

  by dykstrafan

  pshh i'll pay $41 for the wire season 4. i guess this means a pretty early start date in 2008 for season 5, which is a good thing. i always say it's impossible for them to top themselves, but just watch, this will be the best season yet.

  The Wire

  by wolftever

  For my money, The Wire is the single best television series on the air - and I think this is pretty much the Golden Age of television drama. So many great shows, but The Wire is consistently the best.

  by santiagoatez

  ...not as good of an experience. You lose self-control, and the next thing you know you've gone through a season in a 3 day marathon. It's not like Lost where there is a lot of filler....in The Wire, every scene is significant, and there's only 10 to 12 shows per season...treasure them while they last, because it's the BEST.

  Pete and Pete sales aren't as good as I would hope - apparently not good enough to get them to continue to release the remaining seasons. Which sucks - one of the best kid's shows ever. Any kid's show with the Ig as a recurring character gets the thumbs up from me.

  Just look at that cover, he's sniffing one hand and sticking the other in the viewer's face.Yeah, it's an anime FF that showed on Cartoon Network every once in awhile. Everything is terribly designed nad they carry over things from the movies. Like Alicia being black and the general feeling of shittiness. Save yourself some greif and skip it.

  Santiago -

  by doodler

  I've been watching the Wire (and seasons 5&6 of Sopranos) on DVD - and i have to say the experience is wonderful. There is so much they expect you to remember from ep to ep and season to season. You don't forget anything, you notice little pickups, etc. And, in the first few seasons, i'm able to fast foward through McNulty's domestic squabbles.
  
  Kinda like with 24 - fast forwarding through all the crap with Jack's daughter in the first 2 seasons.
  
  The Sopranos is less disappointing on DVD because i didn't waste WEEKS of my life waiting for JonnyCakes and hallucinations. Those episodes would've been horribly disappointing if i'd been waiting week after week for more whackings.

  If you haven't already, get your asses down to the store and buy the DVD set. Then, do yourself a favor and watch the show when it starts up again on October 4. They're adding two new hot chicks, as if this show weren't already well worth your time.

  No McNulty on cover!?!....

  by danielkurland

  I know he was barely in the season. Also, I've said this before, but why does ABC add some tagline to each of its DVD boxsets like "Seriously Extended", "Extra Juicy Edition", etc. It's not like there's an alternative version. I seriously hope this "tactic" doesn't bring in more sales. Also, that Ride of the Valkyries/Hamsterdam bust scene in The Wire is so, so good.

  Pretty much all of the above. They do a lot of focus on drugs, but they show what's happening from both the cops side, and the "druggies" (for lack of a better word). I don't think describing the show can really do it justice. Check it out, and give it a chance, as it really gets under your skin, and you get to appreciate every facet of it all.

  The Wire

  by grandpaw98

  I just wanted to add my voice in praise of the best episodic television series EVER! Any description is bound to make it sound like just another cop/drama series, although a superior one, but is so much more than that and one has to actually see it to really appreciate what a gem it is. I agree with DanielKurland, the show really gets under your skin, and the 4th Season got to me more than any other. Maybe it's because of it's focus on the complicated, terrifying and ulimately sad lives of the children. That's why I think it is entire appropriate that the boxcover art for Season 4 to feature the images of the kids. What's the beef with that???
