An open letter:

I know you think The Wire is great.  It probably is!

I know you think I would love The Wire.  I probably will!

I know that you believe that The Wire is totally amazing and addictive.  (I deduced it from your previous statements about The Wire.)  And I don't doubt it.

You were right about The Sopranos.  You were right about Lost.  I bet you're right about The Wire!  I bet I'll really like The Wire when I get around to watching it.  It sounds great.

In the meantime, please SHUT UP ABOUT HOW MUCH I AM GOING TO LOVE THE WIRE.   I have a lot to do, and I have a long Netflix queue.  

I will watch The Wire when I watch The Wire!

What the F is The Wire?

I feel the same way about 24. Everyone keeps telling me how good it is but I don't have time to get addicted to a new show.

What do you expect when you allow every Tom, Dick and Harry to be your friend? People are going to comment about such things- A LOT. Perhaps consider deleting your myspace to accomodate your hectic schedule? and also relieve yourself from the tedious and time consuming effort of checking your myspace...just a thought.

Although... Now that it has been mentioned? Be sure to eventually watch "Heroes," too.  

And "Veronica Mars" because that show is almost as good as "The Office." Almost.

vmars is great. why should't she taser people? a lot more people on that show need to be tasered.

because those people like to rape her so much.

she really doesn't do it all that often though, only when necessary. the promos just always show it because it's usually done as comedy. anyway, it's not like she can carry any other type of weapon around on campus, or in public altogether for that matter.

very well-writen, witty and beautifully shot show though. talented and interesting cast too. one of my favorites without a doubt. it'll never be as strong as season one, unfortunately -

k, what the hell is The Wire? You sound very passionate about your hatred for people telling you to watch it. Maybe its best to avoid it at all costs.

Omg.  That's hysterical.  Ya know, whenever I make a suggestion to my friend to see something...to piss me off he always says "well since you suggested it, I'll never see it".  Therefore, I never recommend anything, EVER.  This is also the reason I'd like to strangle him.  Maybe you should try this tactic...just watch out for the choke hold.

Damian wishes he was a Tenenbaum

 

The Wire is easily one of the most under rated show......and that is mainly because most people cant relate or understand the content. But I know how you feel B.J.......dont you love it when people tell you what to watch, not once but to many times. Its great

 

P.S. To qoute you "I miss the days when there was only one party I didnt want to go to" best line of the season

So .. this blog ..

It really .. really makes me want to hassle you about something.

Didn't your mom ever tell you that you have to pretend like it doesn't bother you?

 

I don't write "open letters" to the people who's myspace accounts are deleted telling them to stop sending me messages.

 

The internet is a wonderful thing.

No doubt!
I heard the same peer pressure about "24", and now I am an addict. But the relentless harping about "Lost" led to me enjoying the first season and not getting hooked.
If it isn't at least as addictive as Meth (from what I've read about Meth), then why push a TV show like a dealer?!?

Wire, schmire. :-) The show I want people to watch is "Veronica Mars," which is (a) awesome and (b) perpetually in danger of cancellation.

And hey, BJ, at least take comfort in the knowledge that we all bug our friends to watch "The Office"! :-)
