Greatest Television Show... Ever

[sd'sker]

Without question, "The Wire".

Hate to disagree, but "Married with Children" takes the cake.

that is a solid show. my dad loved it and i began watching it when i was 5, i pretty sure it is the first show i remember watching. that and the simpsons. those two shows really raised me.

The original "Star Trek" series

The Shield

 

Married with children was the greatest TV sitcom though.

 

Watch the first episode of the Wire compared to the first ep of the Shield. Shield will suck you in.

that is the beauty of the wire. it starts out slow and works to a big payoff. you really need to watch the whole season. and i would suggest watching like 3 episodes at a time.

 

i know not many people have posted yet, but i'm surprised no one has said Arrested Development, that is definitely a close second for me, which only goes to how great the wire is, because without the wire, arrested development would be the best show ever, hands down.

I did, still it was hard to keep interested because it was painfully slow.

 

And you're still wrong, The Sopranos was the greatest of all time.

You're all wrong. All the shows listed on here so far SUCK, except for The Simpsons.

[knapplc]

Hard to say what the "greatest" is/was. Some definitely up there for consideration:

 

M*A*S*H*

Seinfeld

The X Files

WKRP

This looks exactly like my list, but I don't know what WKRP is.

 

Edit: I'd probably replace it with The Twilight Zone.

[Hingle McCringleberry]

First season of 24 is unreal, The Simpsons, Battle Star Galatica (the new one), and I agree with the X-Files, that was the right show at the right time.

Without question, "The Wire".

I've heard this a lot but have yet to watch. My roommate has all seasons downloaded....very excited to give it a try.

there are two types of people, those who love 'the wire' and those who have never seen it.

Wire is pretty good, but one thing great about HBO is most of there original programing is pretty damn great.

[sd'sker]

now, obviously i think the wire is the greatest show ever, hands down.

 

but where is the love for dexter and arrested development?
