Zootown mentioned it also, but I think advertising is a major part of the reason The Wire got ignored.
I mean, it was always On Demand the least often of all HBO programming. It NEVER got Award recognition, the critical praise was pretty much preaching to the choir, you never saw the actors promoting the show on television or anything like that.
It didn't really start getting those "best show ever" nods until about midway through Season 4, or at least the end of season 3.
People simply didn't KNOW about the Wire.
