“She's the exception. It ticks me off when those in Hollywood & the media deign something "too black" but they did. I loved it from "snotboogie" to the Mayor being left speechless upon learning about the hoax McNulty and Freeman pulled on the bosses. It NEVER jumped the shark. If Hollywood never felt the need to honor them then screw hollywood.”

“I think plenty of viewers would love that show. It's a major, major hit in Great Britain, for instance.

The problem is that production executives who are interested in producing watchable programming aren't making the decisions any more. Business majors and attorneys greenlight productions now. They have no cultural education whatsoever beyond ESPN and whatever a 17-year-old male wants to see at the multiplex.”

“I could probably teach the masters course of "The Wire". that being said it was easily the greatest show mostly nobody saw. I believe there were many reasons why people didn't see the show. for some, the content matter for some was too dark, too serialized, too urban, too thought provoking and I really hate to say it...too black. It wasn't Hollywood so people couldn't relate to it. it didn't play into stereotypes that most people love and the bottomline it told a very depressing story the decay of our cities and America as a whole.”

“I know why I didn't watch it, I didn't know about it. I hadn't even heard about it until the writer/producer was on Bill Maher and then I decided to check it out. I watched every episode on DVD and loved it. It was a great show and I was so angry when Omar's character died. I wish the show had gone on forever.”

“It's not "too black" if my 80-year-old retired English teacher mother could understand it. And she could. She loved that show, agrees with me and the spousal unit that it's the best thing that's even been on TV.”

raebow replied on Nov 02, 2009 at 15:23:35

“I don't know about "too black". We do not get HBO, so we watched all 5 seasons on DVD's from Netflix. I thought season 4 about the young black boys and their various stories was just about the most engrossing and heartbreaking piece of television writing and acting I ever saw. My spirit bled for each one of those boys' stories. A good story is a good story is a good story, no matter what the ethnicity of its characters. "The Wire" was an excellant series from beginning to end. I also think that although I was let down that there wasn't to be any more shows, I appreciate a beginning, middle and an end. Series like "Lost" that just went on and on become just ridiculous after while. (Hopefully they keep the plotline from "Flash Forward" short and sweet.) I recommend "The Wire" to all my friends.”

“Why did they hound her in the first place? She is the victim.

Why didn't they hound Polanski? He is the rapist.

Why didn't they hound Anjelica Huston? She came in during the rape but did nothing to help the child.
...Or why didn't they hound Suzanne Pleshette? She offered the little girl wine at her house before Polanski took her to Nicholsons house and raped her.

Why didn't they hound Jack Nicholson? The assault took place in his house.

Why pester a rape victim?”

“Does he even realize that the whole purpose of presenting arguments to the Supremes is to effectively enhance any points that might have been raised in the legal pleadings? We know quite well that the Justices have their clerks read the pleadings and write the responses, with guidance. Being informed now by the most inept and dubious of them all that he discourages his colleagues from asking crucial questions that further understanding -- well, that is just beyond belief. This man is an intellectual lightweight and certainly not fitted for the grave and influential position that he occupies.”
