Some Bites on The Wire

For those of you who are obsessed with the show “The Wire,” here are some yummy tidbits:


A source at the Baltimore Sun told the girl-half of Philly Confidential that David Simon was in the newsroom on Thursday Jan. 4th.

Simon, the show’s creator, was walking around with at least another man believed to be either a writer or producer. A photographer was also there taking pictures of the newsroom in case they need to build a set.

The source said Simon is in talks with Sun leadership to see if scenes for next season can be filmed directly inside the newsroom. So far, a Sun editor and an editorial assistant were both cast as extras for the upcoming season, the source said.
Simon is also inquiring whether the Sun brand can be used on his show, said the source.

The major theme for next season is obviously the local media, and PC can’t wait for the first episode.
See, Simon is our idol. He was a crime reporter just like us, but for the Sun. And now he is behind the best show in television history.
God Bless Him!

The Wire has done such a great job tackling the real issues facing urban America. Nothing on that show is ever Hollywood.
Wonder what they will say about us reporters?
We are a such horrible bunch.

One thing I learned from the wire, is that everyone at the top is obsessed with stats and money. The stats keep the money rolling in, and everyone at the top is happy. The people on the ground level work away with the lofty pursuit of the truth. Even Brody upheld the code of the street, and Marlo had him capped right after he started to open his eyes to the reality of the game. Every character on the wire conforms to a part of this role. I think Simon will stay consistent with how the news room is no exception when it comes to stats and money.

simone :

But its true, that is the sad part.
The PPD and City Hall are no better than The Wire's fiction.
And neither is Philly's daily newsrooms.
The Inky lost 71 journos, many I know and respect, because of money and numbers.
Life is depressing.
Pass the booze.

Gtown_teach:

Depressing... How many teachers and staff did the School District lose? Nobody wants knowledge or the facts anymore. It's all about edutainment, reality TV, and freak shows. I hope your friends that got axed start another City paper or Philadelphia weekly. We need some new players in this town (media wise).

Gtown_teach:

Oh yeah, and keep it real... don't turn into that Citizen Hunter Flavia. Talk about edutainment. She's way too educated to be bloggin' that tripe on her site. Also, does she think she's a model or somethin'? Too polished, too much factiness.

Gtown_teach:

Kate,

How can you be a fan of all of those shows, and not even heard of the Wire?

You philistine...

susannah :

don't forget about my friend who's gonna be on the wire! also here's an interesting article on baltimore crime. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070110/ap_on_re_us/baltimore_violence

simone :

Kate,
Dont you have HBO?
If not you cant watch the newest episodes of the show. But go to you local video store and rent season one. Pleaseeee.

As far at the Dome, are my kind (reporters) allowed on it?

Gtown_teach:

When did HBO become prime time? Anyway, most of those shows can't even compare to the wire. You want to talk about a TRUE, encompassing view of inner-city politics/crime/workings? Watch it. It's nothing like I've ever seen on T.V.

Brad Hughes:

If anyone has any information on how someone can be cast as an extra on The Wire please email me at hughes285@yahoo.com. Thanks.
