The Wire is the greatest show ever made.

I really can't push either of those shows enough.  Happy! is hyper violent and wacky, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit meets American Psycho.

I watched several episodes of Happy! a while back, and I need to finish it. It was really good from what I saw.

The only thing I think we've watched lately on SyFy is Face Off, because we've watched every season. I did hear that they've cancelled it too, though. lol.

Also, SyFy was supposed to be developing one of my favorite Hugh Howey stories, Sand, into a TV show. I haven't heard any updates for a long time now. If they do that right, it could be very good.

Ugh. I do miss the good old days when they showed cheesy monster flicks and reruns of good sci-fi shows. Even V was better than the poo they put out themselves.

Hey go read Rachel Rising, it's a comic.  I'll link you.

MASH, Sopranos, Justified, Shameless, Six Feet Under, all better in my opinion.

You might like Shudder if you don't have it already.  For $5 its pretty good...at least for a few months (till you watch everything worth seeing).

Shameless is just retarded though lol, I love it but I could never put it up with great shows, but it's not trying to be that.

MASH is probably the best comedy ever, IMO, that and Seinfeld but MASH's ability to have a comedy in that environment was a feat.   I haven't watched Six Feet Under but people say it's great, maybe soon I'll get to it.   

I loved Justified, and it's in my personal top shows, especially the ending which was fantastic, but not sure others would think it's a "great".    I think it is though.

Each has/had its own redeeming qualities which spoke to me, which is why they've been my favorites.

Shameless is just over the top, irreverent, lunacy but has some very strong moments and each character has their own demons. And William H. Macy is absolute genius in his role.

MASH, while a comedy always had a very poignant moment in each episode that brought everything back to reality.

Six Feet Under was so far removed from anything done with a series at that time. Michael C. Hall (before he was Dexter) was very underrated in this role, and the opening of each episode set the stage for the subplot of that show. The last season kinda went off the rails, but...

Justified was almost a guilty pleasure watch every week. The occasional hot babe, Walton Goggins (Vice Principals) was very good, and the dialog, at times, is almost Shakesperean.

The only reason to watch Justified was Boyd Crowder.

Love GoT but S7 was pretty weak in comparison to 1-6.

I prefer The Leftovers.  Of everything I have ever watched, read, listened to, etc. it is my absolute favorite.  That being said, The Wire is next and is absolutely on another level from every other show below it.

Six Feet Under is third for me but it is definitely a tier below along with Deadwood and Boardwalk Empire. I feel as if both of those two dad the potential to reach that upper tier.  The former ended one season too early while the latter should have had an extra season before the final one.  That time jump did not work for me.  The Sopranos is right there with them but had the opposite problem I feel as if went on too long and they were stretching things out.

In regards to Game of Thrones, I love it but I never rank a show that is still going on against shows that have completed their run.  There was a time where it had the potential to get as high as third.  This past season was a major drop in quality however and at this point it will take a lot to surpass any of those top six for me.

If you wanted to call be an HBO whore I would not dispute it.  As for non-HBO shows my favorites are The Americans and The West Wing followed by Mad Men, Breaking Bad,  and Friday Night Lights
