What I saw on TV today

[FAL]

1. Watched season two episode of the HBO series The Wire entitled Duck and Cover where there was a decidedly positive reference to Jim Brown's days at SU as a lacrosse player.

2. Channel 9 had a nice little feature about Macky and Mike Williams.

Who dared call TV the "Vast Wasteland"!?!

(Sorry for the lack of links--I tried.)

The Wire...best. show. ever.

 

[Crusty]

I didn't watch the wire until its last season and then I watched the other seasons in a marathon, Just a great series - mos def.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Season 4 Episode 1

 

[Bortukal]

[anomander]

That was my favorite scene in the whole series.

 

[City of Cuse]

I love this scene. Really got me into the show early on.

 

[SoBeCuse]

That was my favorite scene in the whole series.

That and the Omar/Brother Mouzone scene.

 

[FAL]

The Wire...best. show. ever.

Can't dispute that. Right up there with Breaking Bad and The Killing, season 1. All great.

 

[DownTheField]

Omar in court is one of my favorite scenes

 

[rocklloyd]

Omar is court is one of my favorite scenes

Agree.

Also agree with all comments. I just discovered the wire and blew through every episode in every season in about 2 weeks. It was epic.

 

[jekelish]

A thread about The Wire?

Oh, indeed.

 

[rocklloyd]

That's an intense binge! Nice work, bro!

 

[SoBeCuse]

Omar yo.

He's awesome in Boardwalk Empire as Chalky White!

 

[retro44]

and I saw Grand Funk RailRoad at Harborfest tonight.

their drummer was great as the percussion coming from the drums felt like CPR. being performed all night on me.

old Detroit city rock&roll maxed out.

 

[rocklloyd]

That's an intense binge! Nice work, bro!

There's an empty void in my life. I'll try boardwalk empire, but I've never seen anything as good as the wire

 

[CU44SE]

The wire and breaking bad are deffinetly my two favorite shows, hard to pick one over the other.

 

[SoBeCuse]

There's an empty void in my life. I'll try boardwalk empire, but I've never seen anything as good as the wire

I think it's the best as well. Breaking Bad, Homeland, Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, all excellent though. GoT and Walking Dead if you're into the fantasy stuff.

 

[lincolncuse]

I also love the wire but...

 

[Orangepace]

Omar yo.

 

[Orangepace]

You have to watch The Killing... top notch police drama and after Season 3, the network dropped it, but Netflix gobbled it up and is releasing Season 4 (the final season), August 1. Not sure why, but this show never developed a ton of fanfare. It's very very well written.

I thought it was great! No question. Didn't know that about the Netflix/Season 4 scenario. Thanks!

Yep The Killing is one of the best shows out imo. Very well written. Holder's character is great on so many levels. Sucks this final season is just 6 episodes.

The Shield, Homeland, The Killing, and Game of Thrones round out my top 5 with The Wire taking the top spot.

The Americans has a chance to crack the top 5 if it continues at it's current pace after 2 great seasons.
