I've said it a million times. The Wire is the best show on television. Deadwood is the most entertaining. As long as we're employing the fiction that dramas are better than comedies, Sopranos is third. Otherwise it's Larry Sanders. And probably Arrested Development. Then Sopranos. Which was great. Let's keep in mind there's 700,000 television shows out there and we're having a discussion on the top two or three.
And a moment for Deadwood. If you were to take the top twenty characters ever on television, five or six of them would be from Deadwood. Swearengen is tops, obviously. E.B.Farnum? Calamity Jane? Etc. I could talk about Deadwood all day. Aren't we supposed to be getting two more two hour episodes?
