Is wrong that whenever I see a group of young black kids playing around that I automatically say to myself "WMD" "Pandemic"?

Yes, yes it is.

Ditto.

Seriously, The Wire has ruined me for regular TV. There's this new show on FOX that I kind of like, The Chicago Code. Good characters, like the pacing and the story. But I keep wanting...more...out of it because of watching The Wire.

I am truly, truly impressed with that show and very sad that it's done.

Chicago Code is solid, but from the pilot, I was hoping it would aspire to a bit more.

The ending seemed rather abrupt too. Things were not resolved to my satisfaction but I suppose the outcome was more similar to reality than I am used to in a drama.

Yeah I never thought I'd be upset about a drug dealer getting killed.
