It has spoiled me for other TV shows, although to call the cable shows TV doesn't seem to do them justice. Is there a term out for programs like
The Wire, Six Feet Under...? I checked out
Burn Notice not long after I finished
The Wire and while it wasn't bad, in fact probably better than most TV, I simply couldn't get into it at all. It seemed like I would be watching variations of the pilot for the rest of the season whereas in
The Wire, every single episode was unique and mattered. So I'm seconding Law Dawg's proclamation.
And welcome aboard Silad. And as much as I loved West as McNulty, I can't see him as RJ.
