I realized this after season 3 and couldn't believe it.

Yeah, me too. I think what I love best about the Wire is the use of mostly unknown actors. "Barney" from Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal was one of the few I recall. Daniels, Bodie, Norman, and a couple of others played roles on Oz.

The number of characters and the way they are ALL tied in together, along with the keen use of different themes for each season are what make this, easily, the most innovative and creative televsion show of its kind. It's much more than a simple cop show. It puts network shows like CSI and old episodes of NYPD Blue in the "unwatchable" category.
