"Fuck the casual viewer". That's the best thing any TV writer has ever said. You shouldn't have compensate quality for a bunch of morons who want everything spoon fed to them and aren't interested in natual character development.

Best show ever.

@doosher That HBO let the show run the way it did is almost a miracle. They were obviously princes about it.

@Pastor9764 It's kind of annoying, but the interview itself is interesting.

fuck Lauren Laverne

@semiflex That might have been accurate at the time of broadcast? If this was broadcast early 2008, I don't think season 5 was out then. Plus in the introduction no mention is made to the 5th season's theme of the media.

His candid approach, the honesty behind the declaration "fuck the casual viewer" impresses me.

I cant stop watchig wire related videos/interviews.... but all it does is remind me how much I miss it

@Pastor9764 Also, Bill Moyers is a populist. He's riding the bandwagon.

@Pastor9764 Fuck you, but more importantly, lighten up. Taking a funny spin on this with David Simon is extremely smart and important. There's nothing more accessible than humour, and it's an excellent and subtle subversive tool to affect the "casual viewer". Thumbs up for the Culture Show!! And one more time, fuck you! ;-D

This fake-staged interview format is just horribly stupid. Fuck the BBC. Watch Simon's appearance on Bill Moyers' show instead.

I totally agree with you. That's generally the HBO drama template - slow start, complex character building and plots.
