Wherein you, the readers, talk amongst yourselves.
The Emmy Awards are coming up this Sunday. Forget about those nominations, what do you think is or was (in the recent past) the best show on television?
30 Rock is pretty awesome. Chappelle Show was genius. Arrested Development gets it for the years prior. UK's Coupling was great. Daria on MTV would have won.
I'm sure The Wire is awesome. According to Stuff White People Like, it Thhe Wire is awesome and the right kind of white people love it. I only allow myself one unfunny show and SVU has a firm lock on it. When the world is bright and sunny again, I'll rent it but I have no immediate plans of watching it.
From the police department to the school system, The Wire showed us the complexities of a dirty political game in a major city. A political game that was sometimes more brutal the hopeless urban landscape that was depicted. The Wire was infinitely times better than the Sopranos, but never got the appropriate praise.
the wire was my show, hands down. why they didnt get nominated, idk, but they really deserved it. season 5 brought everything full circle. and i dont think i've ever cried for ANYTHING as much as i did for this season…from omar's death and mike taking his place, bubbles getting clean and dukie shooting up, chris locked up and snoop dead, randy in the group home (even tho i was happy to see namond doing good), hell even poot leaving the game and working in a shoe store had me feeling some type of way. this show had an impact on me, in a way no show has ever had.
Even though people always short changed it because of it's title and "supposed premise", during its run Buffy the Vampire Slayer was easily one of the best shows of television. It was daring, mature, thoughtful and used it's subject matter as a metaphor to deal with many real life adult issues….I thought all was lost when it was cancelled but "Pushing Daisies" I think now will be able to take it's place…
In no particular order…Deadwood..WHY THE FUCK DID THIS GET CANCELLED???
Mad Men
Law and Order:SVU
RENO 911
Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Southpark, even though I don't watch this show too much, I know it's great.
In its day, X-Files was my show. I was and am a true X-Phile.
I haven't seen The Wire, but I'm sure I would love it from what I hear about it.
The wire hands down. OZ was also a very well written show. How has HBO been able to develop such good programing in comparrison to the old standby networks?

Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni are brilliant.

Mad Men
South Park-by far, easily one of the best all time.
The Wire, no doubt.
the office, hands down. i'm also a big reno 911 fan.
i really enjoyed the wire, john adams, and battlestar galatica this past year
the wire is fantastic, and i'm pretty sure that Season 4 was the best season of any show in the history of television.
But don't take my word for it:
