Ohhhhh baby. The brand new HD remaster in 16:9 of all the seasons of The Wire will be airing from Dec. 26-30 on HBO. Digital versions will be available to buy on Jan 5 and the BluRay will be released in the summer. In the words of the great Senator Clay Davis, "SHHHEEEIIITTTTTT". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1dnqKGuezo http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/12/03/hbo-announces-hd-remaster-of-the-wire
