im low key jealous of you.

I voted The Wire for this poll...but Sopranos is my favorite show of all time.
One of the few I can watch over and over.

HBO was on fire during that era...they have other great shows that arent talked about much during those years...
...Six Feet Under coming to mind.

I’ve always told ppl I have tv or movie debates with that by a mile and a half the best writing on TV hands down was between the wire and mad men.

Those two shows had some of the best dialogue and conversations I have ever heard in a show. When I describe those two shows to people who haven’t seen either one. I try to tell them YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE DIALOGUE. that is the action of both shows.

With that being said I voted Mad Men. But I’m not upset seeing the Wire lead the way at all
