Well, the Emmy's once again failed to honor arguably the best show ever on television so let's take time to appreciate the amazing show that was, The Wire. It's hard to say why the show never caught on with Emmy voters. One problem is that a lot of voters vote based solely on the Emmy screeners they receive. It's hard to watch just one episode of The Wire and truly appreciate it. I also can't help but acknowledge that a show with that was really focused on the urban, inner city experience is probably not going to find a lot of fans with the older, upper class (and, yes, white) Academy members. And finally, there weren't many recognizable faces. I guarantee that one of the reason Bryan Cranston won his Emmy was not only his performance in "Breaking Bad" but also by how much it differed from his role on "Malcolm in the Middle".

In the end, the below clip is one of the reason I loved The Wire, one of the reasons it was one of the best shows ever, and why it probably didn't sit well with most Emmy voters.
