The Wire is on HBO and he is absolutely right. It is probably one of the best shows currently on television.

^yeah, pretty cool. But as always, the more questions they answer, the more questions it all generates. Still, I like the show.

...And okra for all
All your criticism against Family Guy is justified. In the latest season, the show has become a lot more fragmented too as there are far more of those flashback scenes(like at that time when I was on X during Y doing Z, blah blah), and it does get pretty annoying to watch when it switches back and forth all the time. Still, not enough to put me off of it.

Yea, I guess that's where its charm lies for me. Often it gets so unxpectedly stupid that you can't help but admire it.

Not a chance, at least on my cable. CSI is always shown back to back, and often there are CSI-marathons. It's basically played throughout the entire day, and for sure it's on more than a few different channels.
And with Family Guy, I've been a fan of that show since it first came out. There used to be more to their show in a way - it may not have been as "lol" funny, but there was a bit more substance to the show. I started noticing a bit of a decline in the first few episodes of the third season before they were taken off the air, then when it returned successfully they took forth a more formulaic approach and relied a lot more on random humour and such.

First 2 seasons, first 2 episodes of the third, and I'll be watching the next couple later today. I think it tries too hard. It's all like "this is life, people are assholes and the bad guys don't always lose," but it just winds up with unlikeable characters and unsatisfying conclusions. It's the middle part that's worth watching. Or something like that. Omar is cool, though.

Just watched the season finale of Lost... Holy shit. It was climatic beyond all reason. I honestly have no idea what Season 5 will be about.

That's just part of it, and in addition, how are they gonna go about doing that and what will have happened to them?
The conclusions are only unsatisfying if you're hoping for the same old happy endings tbh. And the character development in the show is second to none imo. Why do you find them unlikable? Because they fuck up?
No, at first I just felt like the writers went out of their way to make the show gritty and wound up overdoing it. I'm in the middle of season 3 though and it's definitely gotten better. As far as character development, I've been watching Joss Whedon's various shows for the last couple months so the writers of the wire are pretty much fucked from the get-go.
