Best TV-series of all time ? The Wire or The Sopranos ?

[underdog]

The Shield

[Shallow]

The Sopranos.   no question about it, in my mind.  i can never get tired of watching any episode from any season. 

Try watching Episode number 42 and not getting tired of it.

not the best episode of the sopranos, but it was still good, imo.  had some good comedy in it.

Except it was unintended comedy. It was a shitty episode directed by Michael Imperioli and it was supposed to be a serious episode. It was a joke. Think of the worst TV series drama of all time and the worst episode that drama had, and then realize that Sopranos 42 is worse. It made the film Crash look realistic.

well, thats your opinion. 

i still chuckle when bobby says "id love to sit on my ass, smoking mushrooms all day and collecting government checks", or when pussy ass artie bucco runs back into the car, at the protest....or when silvio answered the age-old question....

Tony: What ever happened to Garry Cooper?
Sil: He Died.   

LOL

[CRAFTY]

Only just got through the last series of the wire, all i can say is that as a piece of work all 5 series are a classic.

Im yet to see the sopranos.

Same here.
And like Javii said...I can also easily imagine classes being taught on TV shows and it's safe to say that The Wire will play a major role that. The way those dialogues are written, that's pure class.

I heard that they're gonna release the entire Sopranos collection on Blu-Ray, so I'll wait until it comes out and then I'll watch it. So, I haven't voted since I haven't seen the Sopranos yet.

[Elano]

Anyways, back on topic, you ain't seen the 2 best shows in history ?

sure, The wire and The shield 

[K.Dub]

I have yet to see any of these shows.

Anyone who puts Lost - which is a great story held back by a lot of very bad acting and some truly dreadful script writing - on a par with The Wire - which has a depth of character development you wouldn't find in most novels and some astounding acting - must have been dropped on their head as a kid. Either that or their mother drank a shit load while pregnant.

So the whole debate about Columbus being a hero or villain? Compared to Hitler? Arguments about antisemitism? That was all satire? Maybe I'm wrong then. It doesn't make the episode any less stupid if it was satire. They may have well just added a laugh track to make it even worse.

[J.D. Wykid, Esq.]

who said those parts were funny?  i said it had some good comedy in it..i gave u a few examples, and you take it as "the whole show is jokes". 

regardless, ONE episodes DOESNT make OR break a series, and even tho this episode isnt the greatest, it still shits on 99% of TV. 

THE SOPRANOS > _________

If they weren't satire then they were just outright shitty. I'm not mocking the show as a whole. You said every episode. I pointed out one episode that was super bad and you decided to defend it. The series itself is brilliant, but that episode was horrible on every level. I've seen episodes of One Tree Hill that are better than that episode. It sucked, and if the pilot was that episode or the quality of that episode it never would have been picked up as a show.
