Clearly the point has been made.

Saint DH · 12-27-2010, 12:36 AM

Yes, it clearly has been made. I just was informing anyone who has yet to watch the most recent season that they need to check out Creme Fraiche. Randy Marsh having "phone sex" with the food network hotline...fucking epic.

Ironic Mustache · 12-27-2010, 11:47 AM

I'm not being a dick, I'm agreeing that he's awesome.

heurisdick · 01-02-2011, 09:03 PM

Randy Marsh in the queefs episode was also great.

One of my favorite characters is Dr. Spaceman from 30 Rock

Omar Little is maybe the greatest character ever made for anything ever. If you have never sat down and watched The Wire from start to finish, every episode, you don't know what TV is. This is the best character on the best show ever made. All he does is rob drug dealers. He is so feared that the drug dealers give him their drugs/money when they see him coming, no questions asked. Little kids want to be Omar when they grow up. I want to be Omar when I grow up. Omar fuckin' Little.

I also want to be Omar. The farmer in the dell.

I read this post probably six months ago and meant to sit down and watch The Wire from start to finish then but didn't get around to it until this past month. UB is right - and I know I'm years behind the power curve here - this show is phenomenal, and the characters seem so real. I was so thoroughly entertained from season 1 episode 1 to season 5 episode 10 that I'm afraid the bar has been set too high for me to reasonably expect any other series to entertain me that much. I legitimately want to watch the series over again.

Saint DH · 09-06-2011, 09:06 AM

^ That's how I feel about Deadwood. With only one episode left to watch, I'm delaying my watching it because I don't want it to end. The show is so amazing that other tv shows I used to enjoy watching (i.e. True Blood, Weeds, etc) are disappointing to me now. I don't know if I'll ever enjoy watching another tv series again.

Having watched Deadwood three times, I can assure you there is life after Deadwood:

The Wire
Breaking Bad
Mad Men

are all good places to start

YES!

I'm going to watch it again. The characters have stuck with me... The Wire is pure class.

Ugly Bastard · 09-12-2011, 02:30 PM

The Wire basically ruined movies for me. Even classics like the Godfather, while still fun to watch, no longer really seem like that impressive of a story-telling accomplishment to me. They feel rushed and characters seem underdeveloped. The Wire is like a 60-hour long movie that changes your life.

DJ FC · 09-12-2011, 02:44 PM

This thread should really be "Who's your favorite character from The Wire?" I like so many of them!

The boss down at the docks has a special place in my heart for some reason. They really captured the essence of the blue-collared working American man.

Cocktooth · 09-12-2011, 02:53 PM

I've never seen said show. Might have to look into it.

thekremlin · 09-12-2011, 03:52 PM

Jesus Christ guys. It's a very good show. But let's simmer down a little. Are you guys really going to claim that there weren't many episodes that were almost unwatchable, or went on 20 minutes too long? I agree, it was a fantastic show, but let's calm down with "it's somewhere between shakespeare and marlowe.

I can't think of a single episode that was unwatchable ... the entire dockworkers season was "closer to average" but still enjoyable to me so I really don't know what the fuck you are talking about. I think you are just mad because there is only one Jew on the cast?

thekremlin · 09-13-2011, 12:55 AM

The whole second season was pretty shit, isn't that widely agreed-upon?

I disagree. I think the 2nd season was better than any other season of any other show.

thekremlin · 09-13-2011, 01:05 AM

Oh, do you like the wire? I didn't know.

DJ FC · 09-13-2011, 01:19 AM

Barack Obama agrees with me. And his favorite character is Omar.

SinisterKid · 09-13-2011, 01:22 AM

Two characters from The Wire that really stood out to me were Tommy Carcetti and Marlo Stanfield. Carcetti's rise to mayor of Baltimore and the personal and political compromises he made to attain the position reinforced my assumption of what a person running for office might encounter in such a pursuit. Marlo Stanfield straight up scared the shit out of me. Dude was stone cold.

Saint DH · 09-13-2011, 02:24 AM

That was the best sales pitch for The Wire that I've heard yet. I almost considered watching it.

Repugnant Abomination · 09-13-2011, 03:30 AM

Never seen The Wire.

thekremlin · 09-13-2011, 03:59 AM

It's very good. I don't want to be the anti-wire guy, I loved the wire. You should watch it.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 09-13-2011, 07:49 AM

thekremlin · 09-13-2011, 08:25 AM

That's what I'm saying.

DJ FC · 09-13-2011, 11:54 AM

I love how the ghetto kids all have such well-developed characters. You have the kid from a broken home who has some serious personality issues, the kid who was born to be a gangster, and the normal kid who's life gets all f*cked up. Each one is very well developed. It amazes me that they all seem so real and believable.
