Cat on a Soft Fat Couch
Having decided to give up my hispter credentials once and for all, I stayed inside all of Sunday waching six hours of HBO's "The Wire," possible my favorite television show of all time. (Thank you OnDemand digital cable service thing-a-ma-bob for introducing us.) What did I like about it?
1) They swear. TV is always better when people cuss like in IRL (in real life)
2) There is so much slang, I almost never truly understood the overly complicated plots. This sounds like a negative, but I enjoy the fuzzy thing my head does when I'm confused.
3) Special guest appearance by Steve Earl
4) This dude is hard.
5) Theme song is a Tom Wait's tune
6) Baltimore scares me. Except for the water-front Hooters sit-down family-style restaurant.
7) Cast bios show that the "Law and Order" franchise employed just about everyone in Hollywood at one time.
