pamparius Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 can't say i like anything much on that list. my nominations would be (minus the obvious comedy ones) The Wire Oz Dexter The Sopranos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Not a great list is it, doesn't have The Wire, the Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Deadwood etc. I thought of adding The Sopranos, but thought it might count as comedy-drama? haven't seen it, so just guessing. :? Haven't heard of the others on your list, nor has anyone i know! :oops: as for not a great list, maybe its an age thing? Everyone i know between 16-30 watch all the ones on my list, but i doubt they would have even heard of the ones you mentioned. I'm 26. Dear god man, go out and watch something decent. I like Lost, Prison Break and the sarah connor chronicles but they don't compare in terms of writing and acting compared to the ones I mentioned. Look at the Wires and the sopranos rating on imdb.

Nath182 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I love Prison Break, also like Lost but not as much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted September 4, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2008 Six Feet Under. Wonderfully written, fantastically acted by the whole cast and consistently brilliant throughout it's five series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancharlie Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Dexter by a good margin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 From that list, I'll go for Lost. It can be truly fantastic sometimes. I do have to agree with Mike, though, that Band of Brothers is probably the best piece of American television I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno_2004 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 LOST, can be ridiculous but also truly epic. Heroes also worth a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Sopranos by a mile. Second for me would be the Wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 The only ones I've followed closely on that list are Lost and 24. Lost is decent but has become more of a soap opera in exotic environment. 24 on the other hand is superb. In the middle of the 4th season now and it's the best one so far closely followed by the first. Really like that serie. Full of action and speed from beginning to the end. But CTU must be te easiest organisation ever to infiltrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 4, 2008 Moderator Share Posted September 4, 2008 I've voted for LOST but I respect how long Smallville has gone on for even though I don't watch it. So it must be doing something right. I've also heard great things about The West Wing (the great irony of course being that playing the president pays better than being the president ).

ender4 Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Where the hell is the Sopranos? Nothing else comes close. sorry :oops: i didn't realise that Sopranos was so popular. Just think of the "other" option as the "sopranos" option. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa_Rosa Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 The Wire, by a street. Followed by Sopranos, Deadwood, Dexter and the Shield. None of which are on this poll. :shock: :? Neither are Brotherhood, Band of Brothers, Madmen, Six Feet Under, House, Boomtown, etc, etc. Forgetting the others, missing off the Wire and The Sopranos, arguably the best two shows to be on TV anywhere, ever, let alone US shows from the last 10 years is criminal IMO. The West Wing is probably the best on the list. I wouldn't put Lost, Heroes, Prison Break or 24 anywhere near my top 10 to be honest. Mindless arse the lot of 'em.

Mr_Dogg Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Lost is a lot of things. 'Mindless' it is not! I like Lost but it doesn't compare to most HBO programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Went for "24" out of that list, but my all time favourite is "Rescue Me" with Denis Leary. Closely followed by "The Shield". And Dexter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
