This is a group of people that thought Spartacus was the 15th best show of all time. I'm not exactly on the edge of my seat to see what they came up with for #2. Dawson's Creek probably

One Tree Hill. More depth than Dawson's Creek.

Yayyyyyyyyy. Fully deserved for Breaking Bad.

Cina will go cry now for the next 3 days.
 
Wow. Was expecting them the other way around.
To be fair so was I from the votes, thats why after putting it on a spreadsheet and it coming out like that I counted literally every vote for the two.
 
:lol: Eboue the only time you've been happy in this thread is when you thought Jim'll Fix It was at number 4.
:lol:

When video game thread is starting? Can you make to vote 20 instead of 15? In case you have time problems I would be happy to help on it.

Will stick it up either tomorrow or Saturday and let it run for 2 weeks.
 
I've just finished Season 3 of the Wire tonight and am going to start Season 4. If i were making my list again, it would move up about 4 places, from 7th to 4th.

So really it's a draw for 1st! :D

And it could move higher after season 4.
 
I had the wire higher than BB it's not my fault
See thats what happened though - most people who voted The Wire in 1st had Breaking Bad in the top 5, whereas it didn't work the other way around - kind of how Breaking Bad made up 100 plus points.
 
Looking at the No.1 votes, it seems that the main reason why The Wire didn't won is because not many people have watched it (half of the hipsters doesn't watch things that are more than 3 months old). Still happy for Breaking Bad, though both of them deserved the first place.
 
I am really bummed that Veronica Mars did not make this list at all.

A lot of crap UK/Irish based shows crept in.
 
Anyone who did not have Wire on their list at all should be disqualified.
Aye. I can forgive those who haven't watched it (there might be a reason to do so) but watching it and not having on top 5 (let alone not even in the list) should be enough to disqualify them and to ban them from entertainment forum.
