    First four episodes of The Wire, Season 1 are now available on HBO On Demand. Cannot recommend this show more highly.

    The only drawback for newbies is that it usually takes two weeks for new episodes to become available. That's a long time to wait.

    Omar comin'.

    Isn't the entire series on HBO Go?

    Pretty sure the HBO Go thing gives you every episode of damn near every HBO series ever.

    And if you have access to HBO On Demand, you have access to HBO Go.

    All the Led Zeppelin fans on the other thread say, "Screw 'The Wire.' When is 'Blossom' hitting On Demand?"

    I was reading some of the quotes online last night, and it makes me want to watch it again, even though I didn't even like it that much when I saw it the first time!

    I have HBOGo. The entire series is on there, as is, as you said, pretty much every HBO series.

    No post has ever ended well that started "I'm going to regret this," but I'm going to regret this ...

    Dick, I say this in observance of your day yesterday, when Elliotte suggested you simmer down and you wondered why everyone always picks on you. And I refer to this post on the Beatles thread today:

    And now here we have this analogy of liking Led Zeppelin to liking a teeny-bopper girls show, with its implication that such people are unable to comprehend something as deep as The Wire.

    Whether it's this, or:

    --The declaration that a vote for Michael Young, by a member of the BBWAA who clearly did all the required research, is not credible
    --The belief that Zeppelin is well, well behind the Stones and Beatles and a few others "probably to most who take rock music seriously from a critical standpoint" (while in the next sentence you say you have no musical chops or background to make such an evaluation)
    --The declaration that any true football observer would say Brian Urlacher is better than Mike Singletary
    --That whole thing about what it says about a person's intelligence if they watch CSI or other procedurals
    --I'm sure anyone else who reads this will be able to come up with his own personal tale, or maybe will just feel it's appropriate to repeat the "You're WRONG!" catch-phrase that has become associated with you

    Do you see why people get bothered?

    If this is the persona you want, I suppose that's one way to go. Plenty of people on here do that. But you seem to care what people think and want to relate to people on good terms -- and perhaps you don't care what I myself think, we have been down that road, but it's obvious that in the main you come here to share true discussion. This would be yet another reminder, of which there have been quite a few lately, that it isn't solely the difference of opinion that is getting you crossways with so many people.

    I thought All In The Family was the greatest show ever.

    I started rewatching the series last week. Already crushed out Season 1 - simply phenomenal - and Season 2 is awesome as well, thus far.
    My father is going to lose his shit when I get him the boxed set for Christmas.
