The results are in and the winner is clear:
The Wire took the lead early and never let go. Arrested Development on the other hand could not hold it’s early lead and slipped into third place behind Seinfeld, which wasn’t even really a player in the nomination round.
The Simpsons beat out that other beloved tv family, […]
More than 50 shows have been named in the hunt for the Five Greatest Shows Ever on Television. At the moment, there are some clear leaders.
At the top of the list is Arrested Development with The Wire not far behind.Some of the other contenders for spots in the top five list include Buffy the Vampire […]

I’m currently on a Freaks and Geeks binge and am pretty taken with the series, but my Top Five list would have to include The Wire, Shameless and Larry Sanders. I’m not sure yet what else would […]

Thank you all for coming through on the viewing suggestions. I now have a huge list of shows to watch.
