Why are you not watching the best show on TV?

Watched about 3 months worth of "The Wire". Gritty good action, but not the "Best"...

Out of interest, which series do you consider to be better?

(For the record, I don't subscribe to the "Best show on TV" opinion, not because I think The Wire isn't good enough, but because there are things that I might consider equally good but in very different ways.)

He already stated "Soap" the first time that he shat on this thread because he didn't bother to acknowledge the obvious hyperbole in the thread title. I guess he just wanted to make sure we didn't forget that (http://www.bluegrin.com/wav/matlock.wav) he's out of touch with modern culture (as if the Sherlock Holmes thread didn't cinch that).

Obviously, "best" is a matter of taste. That's why some drink Scotch and others won't touch it.

The "Best"series ever; in my not humble opinion was Soap!

While everyone's entitled to their own opinion, that doesn't mean they all carry the same weight.

Oh. Pity he said that since it could have been a good excuse to pile on and make old guy jokes.

(secretly he never got over the cancellation of 'I Love Lucy' and has been embittered ever since. ;) Ok I'll stop now).

When you guys are 70 some wise cracking youngsters are going to beat you up and piss on you for being "out of touch" and hell yeah you'll know the reason why. :(

You know RBJ your argument would be more compelling if you did not EDIT quotes to LIE about what was actually said.

In the quote you attribute to me, I NEVER SAID that SOAP was the best ever.

I realize you are associated with a law firm (and may even be a lawyer) so the mis-quoting by you is a natural function for you.

But in my book, a LIAR should be exposed, and in the future, all comments by such, should be IGNORED.

A little clarification goes a long way!"

The title of the thread is the TOPIC and should be the referrence for any discussion. If it took you that long, you need to be re-educated as to the use of a TOPIC identification in the first place. Clarification should be un-necessary, unless one is mentally disabled.

I'll accept all apologies for your egregious error, and slander upon my person, in advance.

You posted some random comment 4 pages into a thread that was started two years ago, a thread where the discussion had effectively gone beyond the scope of the original post, without referring to the original post (or the thread title) in any way, then when called upon it you imply I'm mentally disabled. Nice to know douchebaggery has no age limit. Maybe if you'd posted somewhere in the first 10 replies when the discussion was still centered around that first post you might actually have a walker to stand on.

And as sarcastic as RBJ tends to be "Soap" was funny as hell.

There are other shows than "The Wire" that are more entertaining. But like Scotch or RYE, or Corn Whiskey, to each his own.

I never answered the question as to BEST I merely said SOAP was funny. Nowhere in the post do I say SOAP was the best.

And your quote was edited to so state. As you can see from the posted quote above.

EDIT: But to answer your question NCIS is better and more engaging, and better written, in my opinion.

Jesus christ, tBm, just click on the link in my last post. I quoted you verbatim - from June 11, 2008.

Now stop being such a dick.
