    Well I hate the wire and I don't know news. But I feel like I would like News. So I'm going to add it to my list of things to watch.

    Vote against the Wire

    The Wire - because it's the best show ever


  • Registered Users Posts: 911 ✭✭✭angel eyes 2012


    The Wire. Loved Omar and Stringer Bell


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,955 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    I feel bad for Nt9ON but the referee shouldn't have even let this fight start. The Wire by country miles, should make the last four easy enough

    The wire. Great characters, gritty realism and strong storylines

    'The Wire' - Although it's vastly overrated and subsequent series lost their umph in a very real way, the first series was one of the best bits of TV that has ever aired.

    Bravo to whoever nominated not the 9oclock news. My vote.

    Gryff Rhys’s Jones, Mel Smith, Pamela Stephenson (is she still married to Billy Connolly?) Rowan Atkinson. All amazing comedians.

    Oh, I hope kenny Everett was nominated too.

    Yeh, there's a problem with weight in these fights. 'The Wire' is a heavy weight that should be put up against something like 'Law and Order' or 'The Shield'. Whereas 'Not the 9 o'Clock News' is a feather weight more suited to having a scrap with 'Blackadder' or something.

    In a match like this, there's only going to be one winner despite the two shows being great in the respective arenas.

    The Wire advances by fatality. Vote for 'Not The Wire' is not valid, lol. 7-0 the scoreline

    Necro. You haven’t counted my vote. Reason was the comedians in it.

    Because it was cast after The Wire reached 7 ;)

    Ah in fairness that will happen, the contest is seeded. This is the round of 128 though.

    Yeh, no worries. I'm just bitter cos I have to chose only one.

    I’ve still to watch better call Saul and I have a love/hate thing with crystal maze.

    The majority of the contestants were ****ing idiots! Are they still idiots in the new version?


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,275 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    'Better Call Saul'

    The best example of a spin off that has ever been created and I think it's better than 'Breaking Bad', with a much more charismatic star and that's saying something after Walt.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,463 ✭✭✭Niska


    Crystal maze
    Richard OBrien was cool (though the contestants were usually poor)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,913 ✭✭✭De Bhál


    Better Call Saul - because of the Mike story-line basically. Also the photography of the desert


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,452 ✭✭✭✭MEGA BRO WOLF 5000


    Better Call Saul. Best TV show maybe... ever. Gilligans writing and directing is 10/10. Familiar characters, superb acting, great montages, music. I would even rate it higher than BB.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,404 ✭✭✭✭sKeith


    The crystal maze with richard o'brien.

    Great fun and enjoyment for all the family.
