THE WIRE - 100 Greatest Quotes

Thanks to 1jpb for turning me on to this video.

The Wire, one of the two best TV shows in the past twenty years.
(Along with Deadwood).

  1. And in 100 quotes, they could only muster about 5 for 2 whole seasons [the docks and the paper]. Pitiful. All the rest? Brilliant.

  2. "they could only muster about 5 for 2 whole seasons"

    I would have liked more from the docks (Although I am pleased that they had the line about having hands in others' pockets (that clip is on the soundtrack too)).

    But, I wouldn't mind under representing the last two years (schools and news). Things became a little too overtly preachy for me. Even so, I'm a big fan of the entire run.

  3. The Wire?

    For now, I am too cheap to pay my cable company one penny more.

    Silly me. I expect my fiction for free.

  4. Never heard of it. I'll be crawling back under my rock.
