matt: agreed, re: airing on BET is a good thing for a wider audience, but it's impossible to watch if you've seen it on HBO -- episodes run upwards of 90/120 minutes with commercials that are as long as the segments they play. forced me to break down and buy seasons 1 & 2 on dvd, though it was well worth it.
Heh, yeah, I doubt you'll regret that purchase. It's good that it will raise awareness of it, though; this should be the best known HBO show, and it's among the least known.

from what i've read/heard, season 5 is supposed to be about the media (as season four was about education). should be fucking rad, and hopefully david simon (co-creator) gets to aim the dagger at his past work / career (journalism) as ed burns has with his.
Yeah, that's what's great about it: it tackles all angles of society.
