Sopranos and Mad Men

The Wire is the best ever.

I loved ER in it's time though, with Juliana Margulies and Clooney, Edwards. So good.

So bad by the middle of its run.

A free for all of weak storylines.

+100 I can't even watch repeats of seasons 1 and 2 because I know how bad it gets

Oh my God, did you see Jorge Garcia dressed as an Elvis impersonator on Hawaii 5-0 tonight?? Hilarious!

I loved Treme. Breaking Bad was phenomenal.

Breaking Bad. The most compelling show I've ever seen.

Yes!

Hill Street Blues

I agree with ER. It was pretty ground breaking at the time and always tugged on my heart strings.

Hill Street Blues.

I hear Parenthood is excellent, though I have never seen it.

The Wire

To be honest, I don't get the fascination with The Wire. Outside of Omar and Stringer, I thought the writing was terrible and the acting mediocre at best.

The first season and the one with the teenage boys were the best ones and I found those somewhat painful to get through. Definitely wouldn't put it up there with sopranos and BB.

Agreed.

Breaking Bad and Six Feet Under

Ooh, another one I really liked - Wiseguy. Early Kevin Spacey, pre-Senate Fred Dalton Thompson, post-Rocky Tim Curry, Jonathan Banks, and the best William Russ has ever been. I had a huge crush on his Roger Lococco character! The lead was not particularly appealing, but wow those guest stars!
