"Of all time" usually means "in the speaker or writer's lifetime," when you get right down to it. Which means that there are whole sections of life and art which are simply dismissed. I don't think either Sopranos or Wire needs hyperbole and agree that, Damn!, those are two fine shows! I liked early Wire better than later Wire and feel pretty much the same about Sopranos. Sopranos has always been A-1 entertainment with great scripts and ensemble acting. Wire is tougher on the eye and ear but is one of the most important shows about our American world that's been written -- again with superb scripts and acting. And that's not even getting into the positive impact they've had across the board -- in TV,in our thinking, and in the possibilities for unknowns and even non-actors to have a chance at a part.
