HBO seems to have a problem with their release dates these days; most of the dates they have set have been pushed back, and now
The Wire is pushed back again. The first date we were given was August 31st, which then turned into September 21st, and now it's set for
October 12. Hopefully we won't see any more delays for the title.
Other delayed titles in recent months include:
Da Ali G Show,
Angels in America,
Everybody Loves Raymond, and
Six Feet Under: Season 2.
