And I Mean Anybody

I have started season six of Homicide. All kinds of people (okay, actually the actors) in the first episode show up who went on to be in The Wire. Gus has always been in the show, but this season adds McNulty's judge buddy and McNulty's ex-wife (yessir) as regular cast members. And who's the big-time drug dealer that Lewis and Falzone go and question? Proposition Fucking Joe!!!

The best line so far was uttered early, by Bayliss:

"An Emmy. They give those things to anybody!"

Homicide? Never even nominated for Outstanding Drama Series. What series did get one instead during that same era? Star Trek: The Crappy Sequel Series Next Generation. Gimme a break.
