Mrs G and I just started renting "the Wire" and have watched two episodes. It's good, but so far I don't see why people think it's better than "the Shield" or "the Sopranos." Right now, I'd put it about the same as early seasons "Homocide" or "Southland" ... a good gritty cop show but not the best show in TV history.
As for Lost, Mrs G insists on watching it the night it airs whenever possible, even though we DVR it. It's all I can do to convince her to wait about half an hour into it, so we can FF through the commercials.
