Wife and I have been re-watching The Wonder Years on Hulu. I always loved the show as I grew up in that era. She hadn't seen the show before and she is hooked.

Absolutely. The high watermark of TV as far as I'm concerned. Let's see though - lots of fans of "The Wire", which I watched and enjoyed, but not top 20 as far as I'm concerned, and I don't think it's even David Simon's best series."Easy" Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment assigned to the 101st Airboune Division has this.

Yes very good in that but Omar Little must be one of the great TV characters imointeresting...the actor playing Omar i would think of as 'Chalky' White in Boardwalk Empire....

Got to ask what you think is Simon's greatest programme? I love The Deuce,Treme and the one a lot of people haven't watched Generation Kill. Homicide Life on the Streets he was involved in alsoAbsolutely. The high watermark of TV as far as I'm concerned.

I voted for that too ;-)Breaking Bad / Sopranos toss up....don't think my vote for Upstairs Downstairs will amount to much..

Treme - it's in my 20. Loved the different story and the depiction of post-Katrina New Orleans and some of the music was great. I was going to say "and Steve Earle was in it", but that's true of The Wire as well.Got to ask what you think is Simon's greatest programme?

Unlike the music or movie lists, where I was pretty familiar with nearly everything, or the book list, where my taste runs to history vs. novels, this list will give me some future entertainment options, especially given how much I enjoy Brit-a-vision. Wolf Hall, though it was broadcast on PBS here, I totally missed, and I will absolutely seek that out as it sounds right up my street.
Since submitting my list I've thought of three shows I should have put on but didn't -- arrrggghhh.

Yeah great programme and as you say the soundtrack was superb. Few Wire actors in there if I remember rightlyTreme - it's in my 20.

That scene, where Steve Earle's character is explaining to Annie why John Hiatt's "Feels Like Rain" is such a great and timeless song, I love it. Mainly because John Hiatt is such an under-appreciated artist in the UK, but it's scenes like that that I love about this series. And Steve Zahn is good in it too. So much depth and far better than "what's going down on the projects in Baltimore" - all in my humble opinion of course! But I guess that is what this thread is for.Yeah great programme and as you say the soundtrack was superb. Few Wire actors in there if I remember rightly
Hope Treme gets in the 100, but I don't think it will.
