I only recently realised the actor who plays Bunny Colvin in The Wire (The rather awesomely named Robert Wisdom ) was actually the same guy who played prison kingpin Lechero in Prison Break. At first I thought it must have been because he was fatter in PB, but I think it's actually because he smiles less. As soon as he grinned his way into Burn Notice as a very bad man, I recognised him straight away!

You know I've never seen any of The Wire before, but I was a huge fan of The Shield. I've heard the two shows are similar.
Not sure how true this is, but all this talk about The Wire in this thread has got me interested.

I've run through it twice, once recently with my fiance. You owe it to yourself to watch it, its an amazing show. I'm a big HBO fan and I would have to say the The Wire is probably right at the top. Followed closely by Sopranos and Deadwood.

^I am definitely going to check it out. I mean, I am surprised I haven't seen any of The Wire, since I loved Deadwood and have seen a hell of a lot of The Sopranos

I only just recently watched through The Shield for the second time and I still probably rate it as my favourite show of all time. So it will be good to move onto another excellent albeit similar show(or so I hear).

Anyway, if anyone hasn't seen The Shield I suggest they give it a watch.

The Shield is also a great show, loved it! :D

The theme tune matches the show perfectly too.

It really was an amazing show. I loved how they chose to end it. And yes, the theme was perfect. I wish there was a longer version, but I'm sure its brevity was what made it so great.

I've had the theme tune as my ringtone after all these years and about 4 or 5 different phones.

The Seventies. It's a CNN documentary series about different aspects of the 70s. It's pretty good so far and very interesting for us youngins.

OMG dude! I used to watch that show as a kid here in Texas in the 90's on PBS, aka Public Broadcasting Service which was known as Channel 13, the place people here in North Central Texas watch a TON of UK shows and also Sesame Street. If you don't have satellite or cable, that is the only way you can locally get UK shows in much of the states.

I have been watching the Stephen king TV series Under the Dome. It is pretty gory for a standard American TV series that is on basic network TV.

Here is the trailer.
