I’ve been running a poll on this site for a while now, asking the simple question – “Who’s your The Wire favourite?”.
At the moment nearly 2500 people have voted and here are the results
Omar gets a head with almost 40% of the votes (978 votes)
Second spot goes to Stringer with 9.7%
closely followed by Bodie (8.33%) and McNulty (8.05%).
What’s particularly interesting to me is that “the baddies” are by far more popular than any of the cop characters.
ps. I’m a bit dissapointed that one of my favourites – Bubbles – are even further down the poll at 5.65% of the votes.
Who’s your favourite the Wire character?

On your poll you have Cedric”bunny” as a choice for favorite character. Are you combining Daniels/Colvin into one choice or were you confused?
It´s Omar – of course as one might wanna ad. Favourite side-characters are Bubbles, Bunny and Cutty
I tried to find a contact email with no success…so I’m just going to put this here, and please delete if it’s inappropriate. We’re having an extended roundtable on the Wire over at my blog, The Hooded Utilitarian. Most recent entry looks at The Wire’s little known beginnings as a Victorian illustrated serial. Please come by if that sounds appealing.
Thanks, and apologies again if this is the wrong place to put this.
Taratino needs to watch this before he casts the role of DJANGO!
Omar is my favoriite character also. The character’s raw grit and reality play well against the back drop of Baltimore. His reality holds the show together….
I like Omar yeh. But D’Angelo and Nick Sobotka are my favourites. Even though they had comparably short stints in the show. And actually i would have liked to have seen Nicky again.
Clay Davis. Period. End of story. Sheeeeit.
Cedrik is not Bunny but Lt. Daniels. Bunny is Major Colman. Please correct this on your poll.Thanks.
