It just inspires awesome homages to the show on the Internets.
Like this one, a terrific photo essay that chronicles a visit to the show’s old soundstage and includes a treasure trove of neat stuff, from a Carcetti couch to the offices where the Ball’mer homicide department was housed to another one where they staged the Baltimore Sun newsroom in Season 5.
And this one, which divides the cast of The Wire into different positions on a football team. I like most of the choices, but Slim Charles strikes me as too tall and loping to be a defensive back. I’d move him to tight end, follow one commenter’s suggestion that Dozerman take his rage to the D-line, shift Prop Joe to GM (who makes more deals than Prop Joe?!) and elevate Carcetti to Team President. Snoop takes over a starting job in the secondary, and Wallace brings his young legs to the nickelback role (living Wallace, not post-Bodie-executed Wallace). Also agree with the commenter who suggests Brother Mouzone for Special Teams Coach. You telling me if you’re a gunner on punt coverage, and someone as scary as Mouzone was your coach, that you wouldn’t sacrifice a pancreas to blow up anyone in your way?
