Most valuable tv series ever

As far as I am concerned, this is the best tv series ever. Not only is it great drama, it has meaningful social commentary. THe writing, acting, directing is top notch. How can it not be with writers like Pelecanos, Price and Lehane? I wish someone would pay attention to this series as it could help heal a multitude of cities with urban blight. Every college student should see this and high school and college courses should be given based on this series. It nails urban ills. Every sociology, education, poli-sci student should see this series before getting their degree. I mean it. I hope Baltimore can rise again. Last time I was there in the late 80s, it was just like the Wire. I had to submit a review because it sure deserves more than one star.

goodbye to a television classic

with only one episode left of 'the wire', i thought it would be appropriate to say goodbye and to thank everyone who had a hand in creating arguably the best drama in the history of tv.
that would include the genius of david simon(homocide:life on the streets),tom fontana(oz)and guest writers such as george pelecanos and richard price(clockers).also, a group of actors unmatched in the annals
of television. you can not replace a series like 'the wire'; you can only hope that the creative minds of simon and fontana can come up with another series down the road.that 'the wire' was not peppered with emmys,
demonstrates how far mediocrity is ahead of real art in this country, and i'm not just talking about television.
after 'the wire' is no longer, i will have only a few shows left to watch:
'the shield', 'rescue me','brotherhood', 'dexter', big love', 'real time with bill mahar', 'curb your enthusiasm' and 'the office.'
as you may notice, except for 'the office', there is nothing else i watch on major network tv.the reason: that's where most of mediocrity lives!

The real thing, a must-watch for 2008 candidates

I was raised in Baltimore, and live nearby. This series is the real story, a truly Dickensian story, of any large American city. Do not expect to be entertained by it. But if you're voting in 2008 for a candidate who says that he or she watches The Wire, be confident they're better equipped to fix what's wrong with the wealthiest nation in the world that nonetheless has produced some of the world's worst ghettoes. But for an accident of birth, these stories could be any of ours.

100 stars for every season - thats ah 500 stars!

what can i say that hasnt been said about this show. im axiously awaiting season 5 to come out. my husband has changed my name to "omar"got. what an amazing series.

Why buy this set?

I've seen the show a few times on HBO and found it interesting enough to want to buy it and watch the whole thing. What I cannot figure out, however, is why anyone would pay a $30 premium to buy this versus buying each season separately for roughly $40 each. You won't be disappointed by the series but save your money by buying them separately or during a sale.
