    The Wire - Season 4

    This starts tonight at 10pm est on HBO. Anybody going to be watching? I've never seen this show before, but I picked up Season 1 last week and plan on getting caught up slowly but surely as I've heard nothing but good things about the show. According to the review in the paper today, Season 4 is taking on a new story line this year, following 4 Baltimore teens instead of any type of cops, so now is a perfect time to dive in if you haven't before.

    Re: The Wire - Season 4

    I heard someone say Stephen King (I'm pretty sure it was him) said something about this being one of the greatest seasons in American television history. Plus a boatload of other accolades from various other sources.

    I'm going to pick up seasons 1, 2 and 3. And hope that their aren't too many loopholes when I start watching this series tonight.

    Thanks for reminding me Bates.

      I just set a Season Pass for it on my Tivo. Looking forward to this season.

        No problem bro. I've heard nothing but good things about it, plus Bill Simmons is hooked, so I'm down, lol. Plus I found Season 1 for $40 at Sams, figured I couldn't pass it up.

          I listen to a lot of hip hop, so it's not like I'm stepping in to this show like Mr. Rogers.

          But damn if this show isn't making me feel like the white-est douche bag alive at times with some of this dialogue.

          Why is the guy screaming "Pandemic"? I imagine code for the drugs?

              Pretty good first episode. Those kids do a much better job of acting than you'd expect.

              Luckily I've seen bits and pieces of this series here and there so I have a broad idea of what's transpired over the course of the past 3 seasons.

              I would imagine Baltimore loves the depiction of it's city that HBO is portraying.

                Pandemic is like a codename to define the grade of drug they're selling

                This is the best show on TV period....yes it ****s on any season of the Sopranos, 24 or lost

                the thing that makes it great is how they get regular people and is on location so since they're in their element they're be able to act

                    Snoop is the only one I have trouble understanding.

                    And yeah they are always changing the names of their drugs so the fiends think they are getting something new and improved. I remember they were calling it WMDs in the first season.

                      This is the best series on television hands down... It is the realest show you will ever watch... If your not from the hood, this show will give you a glimpse of what it's like living in the hood... If you from the hood, it will show you that all hoods are just alike, only difference is the slang...

                        Scroll down and check out who Namond's father is.

                        Also Randy seems like he could be related to a character from previous season if you look at the last names.......

                          If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                              yeah, for some reason, HBO decided to put the episodes first on demand before they come out on sunday nights. so, as episode 1 was just shown on sunday, episode 2 was put on demand on monday. It will be like this all season. episode 2
                              was good but I don't want to spoil it for you guys who will wait till sunday.
