Sunday is the last episode of The Wire.
The Pogues, "The Body of An American"
[10:24pm: okay, hopefully this time the song will play. Cheers.]
Is it the best thing that's ever been on television? Some people think so (some politicians too).
I guess I haven't seen enough tv to say, but I don't think I've seen anything better. (Even if this last season hit a couple of wrong notes.) Hell of a show.
Oh fine: some local, Pacific Northwest love for The Wire, courtesy of The Stranger.

"After all these years, all those dead bodies and so many criminal contortions of the law, the wiretap in “The Wire” didn’t bring the bad guys to justice.
Perfect."
I disagree, the best show on TV is Pros v. Joes.
