I love The Wire but that is very unfair to The Shield. The Shield was a great show. Had one of the greatest finales ever. Great cast. Groundbreaking for basic cable. Seriously, it laid the ground work for FX, which has brought us a host of good to great dramas. I would argue it helped set up the business model for AMC as well. The Shield is a good and important show.

Your comment is dead on, but I think the original was a joke meant to stir the pot.
