The Sopranos is voted the best-written TV series of all time - GoFuckYourself.com

Emma · 06-05-2013, 04:35 AM

Critically acclaimed US mob drama The Sopranos has once again whacked its rivals after it was voted the best written TV series of all time by the Writers Guild of America.

Google Expert · 06-05-2013, 04:36 AM

I agree.

AllAboutCams · 06-05-2013, 04:46 AM

An american series won an american award good going well done

brassmonkey · 06-05-2013, 04:51 AM

that's their opinion

there's so much out there no need to crown a greatest if you have a open mind.

tony286 · 06-05-2013, 04:55 AM

I would say All in the Family.

Where your vote goes to? Desperate Housewives?

CDSmith · 06-05-2013, 08:43 AM

Well cast, well acted, well written and well directed. It's definitely among the few series at the top of the heap, no one with any sense should question that.

I can live with people calling it #1. It's arguable, and quite subjective, but I won't quibble about it. In the end they left everyone wanting more, something a lot of productions out there don't attain.

blackmonsters · 06-05-2013, 09:19 AM

And somebody watched all the TV series all of all time and figured this out. WOW!

When people like something they can be so full of shit about it.

Rochard · 06-05-2013, 09:20 AM

Sopranos was great. I'm just really glad that I never watched it when it was on TV, but instead waited until the entire series was done and then watched it all in one month.

baryl · 06-05-2013, 09:28 AM

I'd give The Wire the top spot with Sopranos or Six Feet Under #2 and #3.

All HBO shows....

Paul · 06-05-2013, 09:29 AM

Breaking Bad is much better IMO

The Wire was fantastic, it had one of the best endings for a TV series. They did a great job tying up all the plot lines.

Caldo · 06-05-2013, 11:59 AM

For sure is the best one,my favorite

HomegrownCash · 06-05-2013, 01:02 PM

Was good but I wouldn't say its the best

no need to crown a best in my opinion. how can you have a best if you've never seen everything?
just a few:
quantum leap
sanford and son
battlestar galactica
the hulk
highway to heaven
star trek the original(big mistake cancelling would have been huge)

there are so many hits

i put the two side by side at the top.... Lost is way up there for me too, and is the only show i have ever really been sad about ending

Sopranos, Breaking Bad
Lost
The Wire
Six Feet Under
Seinfeld
MASH

list goes on and on... best series all depends on your taste

J. Falcon · 06-05-2013, 02:13 PM

The Wire was head and shoulders above in every aspect.

J. Falcon · 06-05-2013, 02:14 PM

Luck was going to be an epic show I thought... too bad.

Sarah_Jayne · 06-05-2013, 02:55 PM

I enjoyed it but The Wire blows it out of the water.

NaughtyRob · 06-05-2013, 03:52 PM

And Seinfeld #2. They definitely got it right. Both rocked.

LittleMissBrat · 06-05-2013, 04:55 PM

Ugly Betty

I guess it doesn't count since it's still going but I think Boardwalk Empire will be up there among the best when it's finished.

Same here. No better way to watch a series. Start to finish in your own time. Boom.

So by this reasoning, there can be no best of anything ever?

EDIT :

Best voted by writers guild...so therefore...

Lester Burnham · 06-05-2013, 09:01 PM

You can't beat dialogue like this (in all seriousness, I still think The Simpson is brilliant):

Redrob · 06-05-2013, 09:10 PM

I liked the Sopranos; but, I didn't care for the ending. I thought the ending was a cop out and very, very lame.

Robbie · 06-05-2013, 09:12 PM

I would agree....but I would also give a big vote for "Deadwood"

Redrob · 06-05-2013, 09:13 PM

Deadwood was right on. I also like Hell on Wheels so far.

scuba steve · 06-05-2013, 09:43 PM

Kinda cool seeing the six feet under mentions. Feel like that's always been an unappreciated show, I think the ending is one of the best I've ever seen

Yeah, same here. It would have been hard at certain points to wait a week or a whole season to see the outcome.

mikesouth · 06-05-2013, 09:56 PM

No way the Wire and Breaking Bad are both better hell even Justified is way better written. and for the older stuff..M A S H, All In the Family, Sanford and Son were all superb (and better)

As for all time Best I gotta go with The Wire

sandman! · 06-05-2013, 10:04 PM

was a great show

Another 10/10

Ian McShane was fantastic!

Hmmm IMO Deadwood is 10/10 and Hell On Wheels is 7/10, it's just no where near as good as Deadwood in any way.

I have enjoyed Boardwalk Empire more than the Sopranos both are quality shows though, Boardwalk has the edge for me because the plots and time it's set in are more interesting.

I hope in season 4 Al Capone has more showtime, Stephen Graham is a great actor!

Paul · 06-06-2013, 03:06 AM

BTW for anyone who loved The Wire, you should check out David Simon's new show Treme

Completely different type of show, it's about New Orleans after Katrina.

It's more of a drama but if you're a fan of incredibly well written characters and plot lines then you'll enjoy it

seeandsee · 06-06-2013, 03:25 AM

Great show, top 3 for me!

MrBottomTooth · 06-06-2013, 05:00 AM

Hell on wheels started out great the first few episodes but just keeps getting worse til the point ive almost lost interest. Seems they have completely abandoned the revenge storyline which is what really drew me in at first. Now they are just busy building train tracks.

I like it. I'm not sure when new episodes are out.

I see a lot of myself in the white guy from the radio station that hangs out with and is in awe of the musicians. Minus the actually wanting to be in a band. I can skip that part.

Agreed. i loved the first season. then it crapped out

RandazzoXXX · 06-07-2013, 10:31 AM

The Wire was the best by a large margin. Sopranos was right up near the top though.

TurboAngel · 06-07-2013, 12:19 PM

Best show ever.

It's a common reaction at first glance and lots of people tend to agree. Till you start digging. And then you can see that it was masterfully engineered with planning evident for two years in Season Six, both parts one and two. Read this article. It took me several readings to get everything the author has to say - and while I think he got carried away at some points of his analysis, his core thesis is so well supported as to be beyond refutation, I think. http://masterofsopranos.wordpress.co...on-of-the-end/

I agree that Sopranos is on top of the heap. I've owned the black boxed set for years and I'm going through the episodes, in some cases for the third or fourth viewing, still seeing things I did not see before. I just learned that several friends are doing the same thing. It's a tribute to the writing that there is much to learn with each new viewing.

one can dissect the ending until it's a heaping pile of entrails and it would not make a difference to the typical viewer who was left wondering: wtf.
