This Sunday marks the end of HBO’s “The Wire” - one of, it not the best TV shows to come out in some time, has it’s series finale on March 9th.

I should start this off by saying that I am 2 episodes behind this season (so don’t reveal any spoilers to me!). But that being said, I am sad to think that I won’t get to hang out with Bubs, Kima, Carver, Omar and the rest of the gang (as I write this, any of those folks could already be dead…eeek!)

More than entertainment, “The Wire” gave us a window into worlds that we often see misrepresented or not represented in the movies, on TV or in the mainstream media.

It examined the systems that make our society what it is through the example of Baltimore - and it happens to do that in a way that is fascinating to watch. And really, when you think about it, you can’t take action to fix things, if you aren’t area of what the problems actually are.

So if you’re not a “wire-head” yet - get started, it’s all on DVD! And if you are, enjoy the series finale this Sunday - hopefully I’ll get caught up before then and will post a little summation next week. Below is the scene (from Season 2) that made me fall in love with The Wire and with Omar Little especially.

Also and listen to an interview with creator David Simon - you’ll be glad you did.
