I have every season of this show, and have yet to get a single episode in. I hope its good. Maybe Ill start it soon. Is it better than Sopranos or Oz?

I think it's better, honestly. I don't believe there is a single bad episode of this series.

If you haven't watched the show, my recommendation would be not to watch that video. Most of those quotes really aren't that good if you don't have the context, and some of those are huge spoilers.

Also, Cool Lester Smooth is sorely underrepresented in that video.

And yeah, it's definitely better than The Sopranos, in my opinion. I haven't seen enough episodes of Oz to judge.

Would've like to have seen at least a clip of that scene in season one where Bunk and McNulty just say "fuck...motherfucker....motherfucker...fuck..." for a good two minutes...but yeah, easily the best show on television in the past ten years.

Probably the best show on TV, that I've witnessed. It's hard to explain how well made it is unless you simply watch it with full attention. Hell, the "best 100" quotes are better than most seasons for other shows. Great show.

In what country is this show set? I can't seem to place the language or dialect. It has undertones of a rudimentary English base, but the sentence structure and pronunciation have been far removed from even the most basic rule set of the language. It reminds me of watching chimpanzees at the zoo fling feces at each other. Watching these primates attempt to communicate and interact frankly does not appeal to me. If I were to encounter any of these primates on the street, I would immediately lock my doors and reach for my sidearm.

Snoop is a baltimore native if you couldn't already tell. She comes into clubs with her dyke ass demanding a lot of attention and service. I used to hate when she came into my bar.

Troll or not, it amuses me when people call others primates, as if they've designated themselves as belonging to a higher order. We're all apes, bud.

How does it compare to The Shield?

IMO this is better then the Shield, I dropped off the Shield after season 4. I watched all 5 seasons of this in a month.

From wiki and I agree:
"Despite never seeing large commercial success or winning any major television awards, The Wire has frequently been described by critics as the greatest television series of all time. The show is recognized for its realistic portrayal of urban life, artistic ambitions, and uncommonly deep exploration of sociopolitical themes."

I would say this is my 2nd fav series of all time. 
Schmierwurst wurst going on, dude?

Gotta ask, Bali, whats your favourite?

Lacking the "Fuck"-dialogue of McNulty and Bunk.

The Wire > Dexter > The Sopranos > Oz

I watched the Wire before I watched Oz, and realized that 75% of the characters in The Wire were on Oz, and the rest are from Dexter.

This is fucking retarded. People that have no idea how to speak, don't say anything worth remembering.

The Wire was much better than The Shield. They are in different leagues.

I assumed that The Wire was a website or something that compiled a list of the top 100 movie quotes...
then i was like... these are rather obscure... uhh are ALL of these gonna be by black people? thats weird.

Best show ever, couldn't stop watching. Can't say that about any TV show other than Buffy.

The Wire is definitely one of the best TV shows of all time, but beyond that, I think if we were just comparing entertainiment in general, including film and stage, The Wire would still rank very close to the top.

It is everything that the "Numb3rs describes IRC" clip is not.

Not necessarily. We watch TV that's worth talking about.

About half the shows mentioned in this thread aren't even on the air anymore.

Oh. . .

It's a TV show.

I never watch TV, so I thought The Wire was some website that featured best quotes from movies or something. About halfway through, I realized my folly. Bloody good.
