We just finished watching the 4th season of The Wire and have one more season to go before facing a future without new episodes of the show. Yikes. The Wire has sort of ruined tv for me for now; other shows now seem stagey and a bit shallow in comparison. The CSI shows are now nearly unwatchable because they seem so silly (except for CSI Miami, which is still a treat because it's so Ed Wood-esque-ly bad).
My friend Mariela, who was watching the show way back when it started, says she's going to watch the whole series again, from the start. I reckon we'll do the same thing. But for now, the task is to try and figure out how to ration out season 5 between now and the start of Mad Men ...
