OK. I guess the response was stronger than I was expecting.

I am not one of those who skips through commercials. Often they are better than the shows they are on ;-(

As sort of a Christmas present to myself I bought the two seasons of "The Wire" that I didn't already have. Are you a fan? Charles has been touting it along with me but I think the audience is pretty small. It has never been a ratings hit like "The Sopranos" or "Sex in the City". HBO has already announced that the upcoming season will be the last one.
