Michael K. Williams as Omar Little in The Wire is one of the best casting calls ever. The moment Omar steps on screen, the whole show changes.

Man I'm old! How was this 20 years ago? Fact - I couldn't watch this play live, I had my face covered with my hands. My then fiance (now husband, 20 yrs come July) was cool and didn't react and told me to watch the replay. Still the BEST NC ending ever!

@Ziggys_Duck @7bBitters I watched one or two seasons of Homicide before reading the book. My jaw DROPPED page after page learning that a good chunk of Season 1 actually HAPPENED!

Homicide: Life on the Street is quite simply the best TV show ever produced. It was working with absolutely astonishing source material.

40 years ago tonight, David Simon brought a bottle of alcohol up to the BPD homicide unit as a gift. He was thinking of writing a column about Christmas Eve in the unit. Simon hung out all night and eventually the bottle got opened. Around 4 am detective Bill Lansey said, “Man, the shit that goes on up here, you could write a book.” Five years later “Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets” would be published.

Mom passed away today, and while not unexpected, it still hurts. I know her spirit is engaged in a game of Scrabble with her Aunt Nannie & mother, with her Uncle Tom & Dad & grandson (who passed before her) not too far off talking trash & frowning at the state of current events.
