Oh the simpsons should get in, it's still the first thing I think of when I see various situations evolve on the news, but well over 10 years of obligated watching has worn me down. x-files similar, and I kinda worry that people think it was a factual documentary now, considering everyone "wants to believe" some crap off the internet.1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
2. A Very Peculiar Practice
3. The Larry Sanders Show
4. Curb Your Enthusiasm

I enjoyed The Wire and Sopranos about equally.Have people not watched the wire, or do they just not like it? One shows ignorance, the other stupidity.
On second watch The Wire was much more gripping than I remembered. It's the critique that sticks with you, especially the parts that keep resonating and reminding you of it in everyday life. But while you're watching it it's the soap opera drama, the twists, cliffhangers, and gut punches, that make it work.Wire, get's enough credit, I get the love, but TBH I am not that interested in the governance of Baltimore, obviously much more to it than that, but I always admired it more than enjoyed it, so I'll take the stupidity option on that one I guess.
Oh and I am so bored of the glorification of the American Gangster, and their films and TV shows, goes back to Billy the Kid, through to Cagney films, then Scorcese and the US's childish love of small killing machines, so Sopranos doesn't make my list either, even though, it is obviously brilliant.
