1. Sopranos
2. Rome (2nd season was the best ever)
3. True Blood (so trashy and they frick LA geography up, but still oh so good.
4. OZ
5. Dead Wood

Honorable mention: Entourage (getting weak as of late, really needs to be an hour show...it's over before it starts sometimes.)

Really so many others could be on this list. I can't think of any channel that has had so many great shows in the last fifteen years.
What are your top 5?

Well, you are more than welcome to give your top 5.

The Wire is a good show, but I really got bored with the police/politician side of it. The white guy running for Mayor parts were always so boring to me. If they would have had more of the ghetto gangster parts it would have definitely been put in my top 5. Still a really good show.

wow god forbid anyone actually post THEIR top 5...

The title was YOUR top 5...

I'd actually rate the wire lower as well based on how much I actually enjoy the show...not to say it isnt a great show

I'd go
Entourage
Deadwood
True Blood
Carnivale
Sopranos

basing in this on the shows that I looked forward to watching the most each week

Carnivale was great show as well. Need to go back and re-watch it.

Sopranos
The Wire
Entourage
True Blood
Curb Your Enthusiasm

Honorable Mention: East Bound and Down - it's only been 1 season but it's freaking hilarious and could easily move into my top 5 in another season or 2. I've got to give my loyalty to some of the other shows that I've liked over the years.

**I wish they would've made Generation Kill into a original series, I liked that so much.

Mine...

1. Rome (I'm a history buff so it beats the Wire for me)
2. The Wire
3. Sopranos
4. Deadwood
5. Big Love

Since BoB was just one season I didn't include it...But if included it would go before the Sopranos and move BL off the list.
