True Blood and Sex and the City are candidates, aren’t they? REALLY OVERRATED!! Where the f**k is Oz?? It’s so unfair…

I could write a novelette on how much and why I love The Wire. But in a word (or two), it is the best TV show I’ve EVER seen. Better than almost any movie I’ve seen. It’s the Godfather of TV. Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!

Also a fan of The Shield.

Flight of the Concords is pretty funny, I haven’t watched many of these shows except for True Blood. And True Blood does get pretty addicting once you start watching it. It’s my favorite show on TV at least :P, gives me something to look forward to on Sundays…

Flight of the Conchords is rarely laugh out loud funny, its ‘smile while watching’ funny for me, and that’s usually what i actually prefer.

Flight of the Conchords is the worst piece of shit show I have ever seen. Its not even funny. I tried to watch the first episode but couldn’t watch because its so unfunny and shitty. I can’t believe people actually think this crap is good. Hope it gets canceled.

I’ll agree with “Carnivale” – don’t overlook it!

#$%!!! I put ‘Entourage’ and immediately regretted the decision. Both that, FotC, and my new favorite, The Life & Times of Tim are very easy watches that I really enjoy sitting down to with a bunch of my friends every Sunday night.

SFU on the other hand was such a powerful, extremely emotional, and altogether visceral series. Definitely something you didn’t just ‘watch’. The same goes for the late “Carnivale”, a series that I’m sure my boyfriend will reply below me about. The opposite of all these would be “True Blood” one of the worst things I’ve seen come out of HBO lately (we’ll pretend “Little Britain” never existed).

So all that being said, I guess SFU is something I appreciated and grew from, but I would find myself sitting down to watching Entourage or FotC during an idle 25 minutes.

God bless HBO.

It’s got to be the wire, quite simply the best show ever made. So gritty, so complext and by far and way the only crime drama to ever come so close to reality. Watched all five series and now I’m making my way through David Simon’s books, I’m addicted!

This is a tough call between The Wire and The Sopranos, but I gotta go with the Sopranos. Curb Your Enthusiasm comes close. I’ll tell you what the worst show on HBO is—Flight of the Conchords. Those smarmy hacks are not funny. Tim and Eric pull that shit off. Not so with FOTC. Every time I see that show something inside me dies.

“Carnival” is one of my favourite shows of all time.

It lasted only a couple of seasons but it was great.

Even thought it’s not listed that’s my vote.

Six Feet Under for me (one of my favourite shows). Although I have only seen one season of The Wire.
