There are great TV shows, then there is The Wire.
Jacob Weisberg from slate.com said that "The Wire," was, "Surely the best TV show ever broadcast in America." While I agree, I find his statement limiting in that I do not believe there has ever been a show broadcast in any country on this planet that was as good as "The Wire." Yes, it is that good.
Buy why? What is it about this show, a show that only received 2 Emmy nominations (half of Charlie Sheen's total for "acting") that engenders such fierce loyalty?
On this show Jim and special guest Phil from Bakersfield discuss that very thing.
