I can agree that Breaking Bad doesn't have the replay value of The Wire or The Sopranos, but as far as shows happening IN THEIR PROGRESS it is as good as anything. I feel the exact same way about The Shield. The Wire/Sopranos are the holy grail to me, and Breaking Bad, The Shield, and maybe a couple of other dramas (Friday Night Lights even though it's not a crime show) are right behind it.

70-51 is a blowout?
Is this a serious question?
The poll has 4 choices. You had to add 3 out of the 4 choices together to even come within 20 votes of the most popular one. The way the poll is set up any vote that isn't in favor of "BB" is a vote against it, and it still won.
So, without splitting hairs I'd say this settles the matter. Obviously you disagree, but
I didn't make the thread or the poll.Fred.

71-41 isn't even a blowout

The poll is basically a "yes or no" poll (Is BB GOAT status?), so it doesn't really matter if there are 1, 3 or 10 "no" options, the result would be the same.
I was just pointing out that winning with 58% isn't a blowout
Naw BB is top 3 easily....even if the replay value isnt super high the thing it has going for it is that it got better each season and there was never a drop off in quality. Sopranos had plenty of bad storylines and season 6 was straight up trash for the most part. I got The Wire as my GOAT but other than that theres no TV show I can put as clearly above BB. Some are on a similar level but they all got flaws too
Let's forget the term blow out and just look at the poll a second.
A completely unbiased poll would be more along the lines of "GOAT", "GOAT contender" which is 2 in favor of "BB", then "2nd Tier", "Not Top 20", and "Trash".
According to the poll it's either the undisputed GOAT, or a second tier show. There's no middle ground. If you're on the fence you're gonna vote 2nd tier automatically.
But the OP tells you the poll starter's opinion, and the way the poll is set up reflects that. It is what it is though.

Of all the shows listed..
The Wire is the only one that didn't get damn near terrible at the end.
In fact the last season/series finale of the Wire was fantastic.
Breaking Bad got progressively worse after Skylar found everything out.
Sopranos?
The Dream sequences?
Half of every episode is in therapy with Dr. Melfi
Putting Tony's son (wanna talk about horrible characters??) in therapy
Sopranos got damn near unwatchable
