Yup I just cut HBO & Cinemax back on cuz of The Wire.
I went ahead and watched it last night.
Also there are 3 shorts On Demand as well.
1967 - Proposition Joe - has him as a kid and how he got his name.
1985 (?) - Omar - has him with his brother and a friend robbing someone but Omar shakes things up a little.
2000 - Bunk & McNulty - Mcnulty's first day and meet up with Bunk.
Each one is about 2 min.
Each one was very cool.

I have to disagree with you there.
I always hear (mostly from brats overseas) about how shows over get worn out. However, when is the proper time to quit?
I mean season 2 of The Wire kinda sucked. Imagine if it ended then. Imagine if The X-Files ended after season 3.
The fact is that many shows over here that last a long time, last because they are good.
Look at The Office. Over in bratland, it lasted 2 seasons because Ricky Gervais said he doesn't like milking project or exploiting them. The other thing of note is that he said that he put so much into the 2 seasons that he ran out of ideas.
It's also worth noting that the seasons only has 6 and 8 episodes respectively.
Now look at the US version.
The first season had 6 episodes.
The second and third had 22 & 23 episodes (resp) and the fourth season has a whopping 30 episodes. There was even 10 spin-off webisodes.
All of this and the show is going strong.

Wait to watch on your nice TV.
I had similar caveats to watching On Demand versus waiting for the HD broadcast but didn't wait.
Watching on a computer monitor simply sucks.
