My friendly neighborhood video store

Rents entire seasons of TV for ten dollars a week, tax included. With the writers' strike on, I suspect broadcast TV will play a smaller role in what I watch. What shows should I be tracking down to rent from MFNVS?

The Wire isn't just the best show on television. It's the best show that's ever been on television.

Correct!

I think I'd take issue with the second claim, but not with the first. I actually prefer Homicide to The Wire myself. And everyone knows the best television show that has ever been on TV is The Prisoner... 8)

The Sopranos is better, but The Wire is a strong #2.

I tried The Sopranos and actually couldn't really get interested in it. I found no characters in it I could sympathize with.
