If The Wire doesn't win this by a fucking landslide then the results of this poll are categorically wrong and we should just committ world wide genocide because our species is not fit to run this planet.

Best shows missing: Game of Thrones, The Thick of it, Peep Show.

The Thick of It is my favorite comedy by far.

I've never seen The Wire... never even heard of it until recently... and I think I can safely say it doesn't hold a candle to The Sopranos. Breaking Bad and Dexter are both also bad ass shows.

Watch the Wire and you will easily lump it into the same category as you mentioned above. Great series from start to finish.

The Wire > > > > > The Sopranos.

Yeah a bunch of fat Italians sitting around talking is great TV "hey, where's the gabagool??l"

The Wire with cast members who have been criminals on the streets of Baltimore, lived the life and portray the role with pin point accuracy, the script written by a former Baltimore detective and Journalist in the thick of things. Yeah this show just shit all over the Sopranos (which I actually quite liked), the Wire is quite simply a work of art in tv form!

I consider SP a cartoon. The best of them to be exact.

BTW I do think that I have NEVER seen a better thing on TV than House MD. Not that I watch it on TV because our fucked up channels screw the translation horribly. We have a brilliant online resource called Lostfilm for some strange reason. Anyway, they do it very professionally. And for free. Thta is how dozens of millions of people get to watch this brilliance.

House MD is what really affected me much. Have you EVER seen a series that can appeal to that ammount of people? A brilliant BRITISH actor doing the main part. A lot of characters, each with their own life, problems and tragedy. Detective stories in most of the series, medicine for those who enjoy it. Scary stories, human relationships, love, hate, life, death, all rolled into one. And a PERFECT cast. I ADORE them with my fave being Dr Chase by the brilliant Jesse Spencer. Too bad there are not that many beautiful women in the movie, except for the tremendous Olivia Wilde. tongue.gif

Another fucking bracket?

This bracket sucks because Heroes is the best show of the past decade and it's not even in the tourney. facepalm.gif

I never could get into Heroes. Just boring to me. Most network television is, though. Unless it's a decent comedy.

Agreed - bracket is really incomplete and really favors dramas.

So many great comedies - 30 Rock, Daily Show, Colbert, South Park, Scrubs, The Office (prior to Carrell leaving), Modern Family, Weeds, It's Always Sunny...
