Favorite Hbo Series ***(taking suggestions for new poll!)***

I hated Sex and the City. Those broads were self-centered, sex-obsessed, spoiled bitches...

Oz
Big Love
Entourage
Sopranos

"the wire" is beyond amazing. i actually used it as an example in an essay on the GRE earlier this year. it was question about whether criminals, having broken the social contract, no longer deserve the same rights as everyone else. the wire really pulls back the curtain and shows you that there are a vast number of people in this country (the united states) for which no social contract ever existed. whether it's the heroin dealers in the towers or the working poor on the docks. society ignores them. opportunity eludes them. "the wire" tries to show you how everything is connected: the war on drugs, the outsourcing of industries, the failure of no child left behind...

god, i could write about that show forever. sorry to ramble. you guys should all check it out. and if you like it, you should watch "the corner," too. it's an HBO miniseries by the same dudes, and it's just as honest and poignant.

Nothing is better than sex and the city. An ex-girlfriend turned me onto it and I haven't been able to put it down since.

 

[His Name Is Frank]

I love Curb Your Enthusiasm. I've only seen half an episode of The Wire and it looks like a decent show. When you're poor and always at risk of losing your cable,it's hard to try and get into these shows.

I don't even own a TV but still manage to keep up with The Wire. I fucking love that show.
