NPR’s Terry Gross interviewed The Wire creator David Simon yesterday – listen here. (There are spoilers if you are not caught up.) With the series finale airing this Sunday, will this be my last Wire post ever? (thx, drew)

I hope it will be your second to last. The question is, will there ever be a show as good as this? It was perfect and I will miss it. What is the point of watching TV now. The only show I have left that I watch is Lost, and with that show you have to deal with the good and the bad.

Here is another question. Has there ever been a bad episode of the Wire? Sure, there have been some better than others, but were there any that you saw that sucked. I remember that happening with the Sopranos a lot (especially after season 2). Perhaps because Chase was making boatloads of cash and dragged that thing out a make more and the Wire was more planned out and had to beg to continue?

After listening to that, I wanted to know who inspired the Templeton character. I found this interesting link:
