One is with a tour guide, who takes you to the crap everyone sees. You take a snapshot and move on, experiencing nothing beyond a crude visual and the retention of a few facts. The other way to travel requires more time\u2014hence the need for this kind of viewing to be a long-form series or miniseries, in this bad metaphor\u2014but if you stay in one place, say, if you put up your bag and go down to the local pub or shebeen and you play the fool a bit and make some friends and open yourself up to a new place and new time and new people, soon you have a sense of another world entirely. We\u2019re after this: Making television into that kind of travel, intellectually. Bringing those pieces of America that are obscured or ignored or otherwise segregated from the ordinary and effectively arguing their relevance and existence to ordinary Americans. Saying, in effect, This is part of the country you have made. This too is who we are and what we have built. Think again, motherfuckers. &#8221;<br \/>\n<em> David Simon, Creator of The Wire<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"flickr-yourcomment\">from <em>The Believer<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.believermag.com\/issues\/200708\/?read=interview_simon\" target=\"_blank\">August 2007 issue<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the groom on the way to the wedding, originally uploaded by richlouis. &#8220;There are two ways of traveling.
