    Kinda silly

    ...as several other commenters have pointed out. Maybe I'm prejudiced because, although I try to give almost every new HBO or Showtime series a fair trial (because they've paid off so often in the past), I could never get into either of these.

    But "the greatest ever"??? We've got shelves here full of DVDs of television series good enough to warrant purchasing. TV goes back a long way. The Twilight Zone, anybody? Kung Fu?
