Would you believe it's every episode from season 1-5, back-to-back-to-back.

Oh happy days!

great show, seasons 3 and 4 are the best

some great characters

Some trivia for you:

The guy who plays the priest was a major drug lord in Baltimore in real life and was arrested by one of the shows writers who was a police detective in Baltimore

The guy who plays Brother Mouzones bodyguard is the real life Andre that the character Andre in The Corner (a true story show by the same writers) was based on

The girl who plays Snoop was born a crack baby and became a real life drug dealer who ran a corner in Baltimore, when she was 15 she shot a girl in the ass and killed her, she went to prison for the murder and got into the show after the actor who plays Omar spotted her

The actor who plays Omar got his scar from a bar fight, he used to get into a lot of street fights before becoming an actor

One of the actors that plays one of Omar's prison bodyguards was a real life stick up kid and Omar's character is based on him

I've been trying to get hold of The Corner. That's the forerunner to The Wire.
Do you know where I can get a copy?
