: A question for those of you who worship at the altar of HBO original series, as I do...

: Was it just me, or was the first episode of "The Wire" almost wholly unoriginal? I was hoping for something different, and it kind of let me down. It was simply a mixture of every melodramatic cop show on broadcast TV... albeit with "fucks" thrown into every scene. Personally, it just wasn't as fresh as FX's The Shield.

Yeah, it was generic. And they seemed really excited that they were able to say the word "fuck". Used a litttttttttttttttle too much.

: I'll give it a few more chances, but I'll instead be watching The Man Show and Crank Yankers this Sunday, and TiVo The Wire for later viewing.

Didn't see Crank Yankers, but THE MAN SHOW is retarded. Terrible. I hate it, though Adam Corolla and Jimmy Kimmell have both been really funny in other stuff. They had something to do with Crank Yankers, right?
