The Wire

After watching the final episode of The Wire, I did a google search to learn more about the show's creators. One link that came up on the results page included the words "Wire Emmy Snub." I've never paid much attention to the Emmy awards, but knew that it was the most talked about television award. And while watching The Wire, I guess I just assumed it had won a bunch of awards.

So I went to the Emmy website and looked up past nominees for the years when The Wire was on tv, expecting to find a bunch of shows I'd never seen. But that wasn't the case. Shows like Lost, 24, and Deadwood had all been nominated, even CSI and Boston Legal had been nominated.

Of course, I didn't think any less of The Wire after reading that list of Emmy nominees, but I certainly thought a lot less of the Emmy awards.
