Yeah, I was just joking around, but you cannot completely rule it out. LS premiered in August 1993, and Friends began development a few months after, premiering one year later in 1994. Lots of real-life stories like this one, this kind of rip-off/borrowing happened for decades. Aaron Spelling...

Completely different male-to-female ratio...

Them ankles, though...you should use a spoiler just to be safe, I think we have Quakers and Mennonites and Amish and whatnot who post on the board too...

Ah, yes, the great actress Laura Harris from the great (DeGrassi knock-off) TV show Fifteen. Which also starred another actor who is now unbelievably famous..

But they did. In real life. All that stuff in The Wire actually happened.

Don't forget Generation Kill and Treme.

I've been hooked on Simon's shows from the beginning, Homicide: Life on the Streets. I then bought the book too. Guy is brilliant.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. However, BB is a fantasy. Unrealistic, even with the science angle. Fascinating and entertaining, no doubt. The Wire is 100% real. All of those things actually happened. Many of the actual people appeared in the TV show in minor roles.

Season 3 was about how the politicians get involved. Season 4 was about the educational system.

Power through it. The first half-dozen episodes set up the framework for the rest of the series, in how the police have to chase the dealers. By the last episode of the season, you will cry.

Absolute truth. SOME season of The Wire had to be the worst season.
