EW reports: "90210 spinoff casts Tristan Wilds of The Wire". This is all wrong. What they ought to do is make a Wire spinoff that's also an update of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in which Wilds, as Michael, moves in with rich Southern California relatives. In fact, I would pay good money just to watch David Simon's facial expression upon hearing that pitch.

Totally worth it when Michael caps Alfonso Ribeira.
They've also cast Jessica Walter in this spinoff. I would tune in if she brings back her Momma Bluth character from Arrested Development.
"There's been a whole lot of motherfuckers getting capped..."
"and a lot of love, Michael"
Only if Marlo, now permanently out of the game, is the wacky next-door neighbor.
Only if Dukie and Bug can move too.
When did Bill Simmons start guest blogging here?
just to follow up, Bill Simmons said the same thing in his podcast last week
But where's the Wire spinoff that everyone's been waiting for? Slim Charles in Charge!
Bug is already living in the suburbs. His sitcom will have to be called Buggin Out.
And Dukie is already in his own Sanford & Son.
My god, Jessica Walter is still around? (IMDB says yes.)
Anybody remember her from that Clint Eastwood movie, "Play Misty for Me?"
Meanwhile, how about a "Terminator" spinoff?
"Terminator - Dancing with the Robots"

For some reason, you reminded me of Different Strokes.
