The Wire

[General_Failure]

Cursing itself doesn't bother me. When one scene that's 4 or 5 minutes long only uses farg from both the people in it, that's not good writing. It's lazy and pandering.

The ones in bold I likely saw nearly every episode.  The rest I either rarely saw or flat-out thought they sucked.  As for IGY's love for The Wire, I don't get it and never have.  It's a good show, I suppose, but I personally don't enjoy it.

BTW: I think Band of Brothers was one of the finest series (or miniseries) ever produced.  I have the box set and I still routinely watch it.  Everything in it is top notch.  Acting, directing, writing... it's all excellent.

You forgot Perversions of Science.

I got that list from wikipedia.

I also omitted x-rated sex series from the list since this is a PG rated message board. 

[General_Failure]

But those are the best ones! And Dream On was practically all sex all the time.

[Rome]

LOL - wasn't it though?  He got more tail than anyone in prime time history including a pre-JAG Catherine Bell.

if you watched it from the start youre the only person ive ever heard from that has watched more than a couple episodes that didnt completely love it

[Rome]

Just not my thing, IGY. 

Oz was a good show too but the violence and language wore me down after a while.  I get sick of shows pretty easily for the most part.

[phattymatty]

but the wire actually doesn't really have that much violence.  yeah you'll have a show where a people people get killed but it's more about the characters than anything.

the point of this thread was for everyone to bask in the glory of the wire, not say its not that good or that they dont watch it.

you all can go to hell.

[phattymatty]

commissioner was on svu tonight.  i swear everyone on the wire had been in an episode before.

[MDS]

yea it hit me in his last scene.

[Seabiscuit36]

If they havent been on SVU, then they've been on one of the CSI's or other Law and Orders, and then on Without A Trace and Cold Case.

The point of you is to kill yourself.  Shut up.

The Wire is the best show on TV period, no matter what aversions anyone has towards MDS/IGY if you sit down and watch you cant help but be captivated by the show.  Heck its my dads favorite show and he's going on 50
