Those in the know are well aware that I am a rather pathological viewer and critic of television. Ironically enough, I do not currently have either a TV or cable or any particular plan to acquire either. However, I've watched plenty in my day. Thankfully, DVDs are available nowadays, so I can get my fix with a phone number and five Canuck bucks.
I started watching The Wire when it first aired in 2002. It is, quite simply, the best thing ever put on television to which I have been exposed. I know about Seinfeld, M*A*S*H, The Dick van Dyke Show, NYPD Blue, The Sopranos, The Simpsons, Nightline, The Fugitive, The Honeymooners and Edward R. Murrow and the rest. They're all good, but they're not The Wire. I am seriously considering doing a scene-by-scene analysis of the show.
