I've never seen it to be honest. But lately mine has been Freaks and Geeks. Shame it died after one season.

lol when Weeds stopped being about weed, it started to suck some serious bawls. The last 2 seasons were terrible.

Also, what is The Wire about? Is it the one about prison? I think I was flipping through HBO once and a guy was getting raped

ive seen a good few episodes, its interesting and the acting is very good, but theirs a reason they are both on hbo, and no one ever talks about the wire, but the sopranos was the biggest thing ever. and @ robbieh1234, weeds is amazing man, its genious. especially the first 3 seasons but its still great

Your thinking of Oz the original HBO series, that is a show everyone should watch including children.

I agree the first 3 seasons of Weeds were great, but seasons 4 and so far 5 have been terrible. And I miss the older intros

you miss the " little boxes made of tickie takie " that was the most annoying thing of all time. and when it comes to s4/5 i still rly like them, but 1-3 was definately bttr, at some times tho, i think im watching a mexican soap opera. but andy and doug still make the show awesome, the actors of andy and doug need to be in A LOT OF MOVIES / everywhere, they are too funny to just be on weeds.

Wiki:

"Each season of The Wire focuses on a different facet of the city of Baltimore. They are, in order: the drug trade, the port, the city government and bureaucracy, the school system, and the print news media. The large cast consists mainly of character actors who are little known for their other roles. Simon has said that despite its presentation as a crime drama, the show is "really about the American city, and about how we live together. It's about how institutions have an effect on individuals, and how whether you're a cop, a longshoreman, a drug dealer, a politician, a judge [or a] lawyer, you are ultimately compromised and must contend with whatever institution you've committed to."[1]

Despite never seeing large commercial success or winning any major television awards,[2] The Wire has frequently been described by critics as the greatest television series of all time.[3][4][5][6][7][8] The show is recognized for its realistic portrayal of urban life, artistic ambitions, and uncommonly deep exploration of sociopolitical themes."

The wire is mostly about drugs, murder, and etc in Baltimore.

Weeds is alright, but this show changed my view on television forever. I never had a feeling as great as going home and watching another episode of the The Wire since I got my N64 when I was young.

I've nearly finished the 5th season of Oz and it is pretty ace. Never seen so much wang outside of porn in my entire life. I wouldn't put it above The WIre though, since there's certain things in Oz that just grate on me i.e some supernatural stuff like Reverend Cloutier and Rebadow and the lottery, but that's just mostly in season 5. Btw, I will never look at Mr. Eko the same again.

Seinfeld, Entourage, Flight of the Conchords, Heroes, Big Bang Theory, The Office, Boy Meets World, Fresh Prince, Malcolm In The Middle, Married With Children, Martin, Hercules, and last BUT NOT LEAST Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles

those are my favorite shows... If I had to pick i'd say Seinfeld, because I can watch repeats over and over, even back -to- back and still find the same episode funny...

I always wanted to see The Wire, but never got to. Band of Brothers was an incredible HBO show as well.
