Which was the superior HBO show?

• Manhattan Buckeye

  Its halftime during GB-Dallas (at least in my area), so I pose this question. I'll give my take after the game....have at it.

  I voted for Sopranos, but that is because I have only watched a few episodes of The Wire. IMO, you cannot go wrong with any HBO show.

  I opened this thread with the intent to click on The Wire, no matter what the other option was.
  
  The Soprano's, while great, really dragged for me in the middle seasons.

  they are both amazing shows but i give the nod to the wire
• GoChiefs

  

  Tales From The Crypt!
• sportchampps

  i would put hbo shows in this order
  
  1. the wire
  2. entourage
  3. The Sopranos
  
  all 3 are in my top 10 shows of all time though
• Tully Blanchard

  The Sopranos.
• Manhattan Buckeye

  GB-Dallas is over, as overrated (not that it was a bad show) as the Sopranos was, The Wire was underrated, Seasons 2-4 may have been the best episodes in the history of television. Great direction, great acting and unlike The Sopranos, there wasn't any fluff or wasted episodes. Every single scene mattered.

  The Soprano's. I started watching The Wire, but just couldn't keep interested. I liked OZ, Six Feet Under, Deadwood and Carnivàle too.
• Crew Love

  Aside from the aforementioned, I'm also a fan of "Eastbound and Down" and "Hung".
• Al Capone

  Only 2 things that I had to watch on tv each week. The Sopranos and the Steelers. I still find myself watching reruns of the Sopranos on AE.
• Davey Stone

  Curb and OZ are both better than these
• Early Cuyler

  

  What? No Curb Your Enthusiasm?
