'The Wire': War of Truths

Submitted by A. Levy, Mar 16, 2008 01:07

After watching this great show from the first day it started, i too was truly sorry to see it end. After waiting almost two years for this last season to start, i knew something was wrong. I'm not sure what HBO's reason is for making loyal viewers wait so long. To me, it's an insult by arrogant TV executives!

The scripts and performances were simply fantastic, keeping in mind that many of the actors were virtually unknown before this show! Why is it that just when a show get's really good, (and that's maybe 1 in 100) some nitwit TV bigshot decides to end it? Apparently, the peoples opinins don't count!
