I don't know if that holds water.
I see movie stars all the time in L.A. and I still dig Entourage. It's a great show.
But it's also a popcorn flick. I'm sure Mark Wahlburg would agree. Maybe its the best damn popcorn flick in the history of television, but it's still a popcorn flick.
The Wire is probably the most intelligent television I've ever seen. It's not just about the plot, the characters, or the setting. The show's urban poetry and mythology. It's art, in my opinion, and transcends the reality of what might be going down on your local corner.
