boobiemiles Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I just finish watching "The Wire" 3rd Season. Yeah I know I'm late, but better late than never. I was completely floored by "The Wire". The writing was outstanding. The characters where given different dimesions. The plots the themes, the picture itself is superb. I was reluctant at first to watch it. I felt that it would be just like "the Corner", but I found myself completely engrossed in it. I was to put it in a word "amazed". Now the reason I put Sapranos vs. The Wire is simple. To me these two shows are the best I've ever scene. I haven't scene Deadwood yet, so my judgement is scewed. But I use to think that the only reason I would subscribe to HBO is to watch the Sapranos. Now I can't wait to see "The Wire" the fourth season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rictus58 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'd rate the Wire higher than sopranos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Sopranos used to be as good. When it takes them 2 years to put out a 13 episode season that is mediocre, than its a complete buzzkill. The Wire is excellent thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imjustlikemusiq Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Sopranos used to be a great show, the previous season was kind of wack, the Wire is a great great show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGibbs Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I use to love Sopranos, but it has lacked it's original appeal for a while now. The 'Wire' is an outstanding drama and it really makes you wonder how bad it is in the inner city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbear Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I like the Sopranos, but the Wire is why I keep my HBO subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'd take the Wire ... any of the seasons ... against the Sopranos any day. I've been a big fan of the Sopranos, but the Wire is just a step above in all areas. I thinks it's the best dramatic series I've ever seen on television. The Wire and football are about the only shows I'll leave the poker table (or screen) to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 The Wire right now. But the first couple seasons of the Sopranos flat out rocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moseley3 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I like the Sopranos but sometimes the writing is lacking and the show leaves me wanting more than they give you, but the Wire is a classic series which I think is even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskin81 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Sopranos. Not even a close contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooka Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Sopranos used to be as good. When it takes them 2 years to put out a 13 episode season that is mediocre, than its a complete buzzkill. The Wire is excellent thus far. I second that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 i like the wire better. it does an exellent job showcasing a ton of different (but related) storylines and characters. the sorpanos is a good show but it's more of a soap opera.

themurf Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 The Wire is the best show on TV. And if you have On Demand, you can watch each episode a week early. I've already watched this Sunday's episode. Oh, and here's a link to an interview with Bunny Colvin: http://www.hobotrashcan.com/interviews/robertwisdom.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
