He's entitled to his opinion too. But frankly, I think he was being sarcastic. Hugely.

I agree, the Wire is one of the greatest shows ever made. But, so is Buffy, even though it is a completely different show.

I wonder if this is the highest charting comedy show on this poll. As much as I love it, I'm surprised it got more votes than Seinfeld or Married...with Children which didn't even make the top 25.

Loved the timing of that post.

[stvn1974]

I think more people voted for Arrested Development than actually watched the show when it aired.

[The Apocalypse]

Slightly disappointed there's no ER. Then again, it isn't everyone's cup of tea.
