I've still never seen the Wire and I just lost HBO because I'm (sigh) cutting back on non-essentials.
I've seen a Wire episode here and there, but never really dug into it. I think a lot of people would share your opinion that it's the greatest show of all time though. Whenever I tell someone I haven't seen it, they look at me like I just shat my pants in public.
