I'm a native North Jerseyan raised on "fuckin' Ziti" but I have to say that there are who seasons and story arcs of the Sopranos that I skipped because I simply lost interest. Too much meandering, too much eliptical storytelling.
The Wire, on the other hand, is absolutely riveting and I have literally skipped dinners with friends to watch season premieres and other key episodes.
I gotta give it to The Wire - there is nothing better or smarter on TV. And no other show, including The Sopranos has been as smart, informed and honest about race in America. Ever.
