‘The Wire’ Mostly Shut Out Of The Emmys, Burn It All Down

We don’t watch TV cause we don’t have time for that trite episodic nonsense. We’ve got cinema to watch. However, you’ll notice we made an exception for the remarkable HBO Baltimore inner city drama “The Wire.”

Well, here’s another reason why we don’t watch TV. Creator David Simon’s show got mostly shut-out completely from this morning’s Emmy announcements, which is pretty much cause to burn down your TV set and shoot anyone on their nomination board on first sight (we erred, it got a nom for writing — Simon’s teleplay for the finale — but that’s it??). As Bunk would say about this kind of weak bitch-assness, “that’s some shameful shit.”
