As We Go Through Life, We All Walk Along the Wire

If you haven't guessed by now, I've kinda got a thing for The Wire—and by got a thing for The Wire, I mean this is the greatest TV show of all time. Don't even think of disagreeing with me. Because you are wrong.

And so, anytime anything Wire related comes up, I just gotta post about it. Which brings me to this hilarious parody: The Wire: The Musical. Oh my God, there's so much to love here, the way this video so faithfully mimics awful community theater productions, the numerous Wire references ("I hate 40 degree days"); but mostly I love how enthusiastic Michael K. Williams is in this piece. It's downright infectious.

Awesome...just Awesome. Makes me want to pull out the boxsets and revisit the entire series all over again.

I watched that video myself - brilliant. But you can see which actors have broke out of THE WIRE fame and which haven't.

True. It's a shame all of them haven't found great success. Their all such brilliant actors.
