    Breaking Bad comes in just behind The Wire and The Sopranos. Easily the three best ever though. 

    Game of Thrones can kick rocks. 
    The Americans was fantastic. Behind BB and The Wire for me, but close with Sopranos IMO.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    It’s pretty awesome how they never followed up on Rawls’ appearance at the gay bar.

    Here's the thing for me. When most of the robustly developed characters from The Wire met their maker, I felt that shit.

    The Sopranos, on the other hand, was full of one-dimensional deplorable, piece-of-shit, knuckle-dragging oxygen thieves. That includes Dr. Melfi. Hell, she might even top the list.

    To this day I'll be watching a TV show or a movie and an actor from the Wire will pop up and I'll  be like thats Chris Partlow,  thats Bubbles, thats Bunk, etc etc

    Bunk was my all-time favorite television character for a good while.

    I think Sister Night has bested Bunk at this point, though.

    Hard to pick a favorite. Everyone had some great moments throughout.

    Think Bodie was my favorite from the streets. Can't really beat Bunk from the cops.

    I rewatched the Sopranos a few months back.  Great show but not "the greatest".  I would put GOT and Breaking Bad ahead of it.

    Agree on Breaking Bad.  That's my top show of all time.  Sopranos is a close 2nd.  GOT would have been up there if not for that horrific final season....I still randomly think about that sometimes and get pissed off.
