[QUOTE="WolfattheDoor34"] I feel like you're getting the name "Breaking Bad" confused with "The Wire"WolfattheDoor34

no

not all the way through I'll give you that, but I've seen a good bit. It is good though, I'm not saying otherwise. Someday I will see all.

Have you seen every episode of BB? simply amazing, from first season, Episode 6 to now the show has been pretty much perfect. The show excels in every way, and there are so many subtleties in each scene that multiple viewings are often good for catching everything.

Community +1

How I Met Your Mother +1

Once Upon a Time +1

Revenge +1

Futurama +1

Happy Endings +1

Parks and Rec +1

Fringe +1

Arrested Devlopment +1

The Office -1

Breaking Bad -1(sorry way overrated IMO)

Big Bang Theory -1

I don't understand why BBT is rated so high while HIMYM is rated bad, I'm sorry but HIMYM is at least better than BBT , BBT is the worst show on TV right now. IMO ofcourse.

I disagree with alot of those, The Sopranos (which had its weak seasons after Season 2) is not nearly as good as Breaking Bad.

Deadwood, while a good show, is no way better than Breaking Bad.

The Wire is a very good show, but I don't think its better.

Six Feet Under is definitely no way.

Twin Peaks (which I did like enough to see every episode a couple times) is not even close, David Lynch did not even know where to take the show after revealing Laura's murderer.

Futurama = hahaha, Simpsons was groundbreaking but should not even be ahead of its offspring Family Guy. If shows are up for just being solid and ground-breaking, where's All in the Family (for Comedy) and My So-Called Life (for realistic teen Drama)? I suppose most here are unfamiliar with them.

I have not seen Home Movies to be honest.

This leaves Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, and the Larry Sanders Show. You could make a case for these, but they are completely different to Breaking Bad.

Freaks and Geeks, Oz, and Dexter (which admittedly also has some weak season after the first 2) are better than several of the shows on that list, which really makes your list rather laughable.

Also, that is nota correct opinion, there is no such thing, including mine.

Also, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, while a departure for Star Trek, was outstanding through its 7 year run. Unfortunately the first year was spotty, so many people don't realize this. Continuing on the sci-fi side, Farscape also deserves a mention. Sci-Fi is rather niche, so I can understand why these 2 shows aren't listed.

For me it's Star Trek - Original, Animated, Next Generation, Deep Space, Voyager and Enterprise. Stargate SG1, Atlantis and Universe. Babylon 5, Firefly, Dead Like Me, Quantum Leap, X-Files. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.

I like sci fi, what can I say? I've not seen Farscape and Battlestar Galactica yet, nor a few other sci fi shows, but I am getting around to it bit by bit.

What the..

seen every episode of the Sopranos at least twice, its a good show, and started off GREAT, but it lost momentum and became almost a chore to watch in the middle seasons.

Breaking Bad, by contrast, had a very good first 5 episodes, then, starting with Episode 6 ("Crazy Handfull of Nothing") the series became stellar and has actually improved every year (well for me Season 3 was the best, but most liked 4 even better it seems)

Mad Men is a good show, but its very subtle, you have to be in to that kind of show.

I think its a bit overrated to be honest, but nice homage to the 60's.

Heck Friday Night Lights and H Jon Benjamin has a Van I think are both great shows, even though I know Friday Night Lights had a crappy plot in season 2 and is cheesy throughout the whole show and H Jon Benjamin has a Van got cancelled after one season and didn't get good reviews.

If you're going to make a post like this, especially if you call my list laughable, you might want to provide the least bit of actual criticism - because you've literally provided none.

Here's some opinions without much substance right back at ya: Freaks and Geeks is alright but it's not my cup o tea, and Oz and Dexter are for the most part bad shows with often terrible writing. The best seasons of The Sopranos are the 3rd, 5th, and 6th; Deadwood is absolutely and subtly brilliant; Futurama and The Simpsons are clever and hilarious; The Wire is the greatest show of all time; etc.

I don't know who you are, but if you think Family Guy is in any way a decent show then I must say I give no credence to your thoughts whatsoever. Breaking Bad is a very entertaining show that is quite lacking in substance, which is why it's not surprising that so many people are enamored with it. And I'm really shocked that you couldn't discern that I was being facetious with the whole "correct opinion" thing - you don't have to be insanely dull just because you're on gamespot.

haha I see I riled you up pretty good, understand it is not exactly clear that you weren't serious with your "correct opinion" statement, which sounded very arrogant, neither of our opinions are considered fact.

Again, you show arrogance with Family Guy, which outstrips parent show The Simpsons by a country mile as far as razor-sharp wit and pop-culture references. I like "The Simpsons" but it has been far surpassed by Family Guy whether you want to hold on to nostalgia or not. The Simpsons does get credit for being a ground-breaker.

well, I certainly disagree with your rebuttal, but heh different opinions. Meanwhile Breaking Bad is winning here ;). Could change but no big deal.

I can respect you are not into Freaks and Geeks, but neither Oz nor Dexter are weak shows. Perhaps I should give no credence to your thoughts for thinking otherwise? Dexter has had a couple weak seasons, but its overall high quality despite the occasional discrepancies.

Okay? You already said you prefer Family Guy, so this is all redundant. None of this is of enough substance to warrant discussion.

Family Guy was great when I was 13

yet you praise the Simpsons now that you are "mature" :roll: Futurama as well?

By the way Oz is one of the most underrated shows ever, it pretty much set the stage for HBO's violent programs, and there are some excellent actors that came from that show.

The Sopranos only got better as it went along, peaking with season 5, one of the greatest seasons of television ever. It helps that the show boasts the finest performance in TV history.

And I love Breaking Bad.

but neither Oz nor Dexter are weak shows. AFBrat77
