what'?!!! It's one of the best shows EVER! Seriously. It's a crime drama like you've never seen before. If you guys haven't seen it, do yourselves a favor and see it, you will not be disappointed.

Considering this is a FOFC contest, I would assume picking The Wire and Crash as the two choices specific for this board simply because of the amount of discussions that have centered around how good the wire is and how bad Crash was. (I didn't play this contest, and I actually like Crash, but since this contest is about being with stupid, I would assume easily those two answers in this one. Go to a different forum and the answer may change) |

It's interesting - I must always just tune out whatever threads those discussions were in.

It is probably my top ever but I can see how it isn't everyone's cup of tea. It takes a lot of focus and then the focus really pays off. If you can't focus or are just looking for action or the "brilliant detective” that pieces everything together at the end of every show (which is what i enjoy doing sometimes) then don't bother with this show. But if you have the commitment you should look into renting it as soon as possible. |

Wow...I had no idea The Wire was discussed so much here. I should have gotten Crash but for some reason spaced it. Tom Brady? Man...I know its IWS, but I did not even consider him.
Lots of second places FTW!! |

To be fair, I think you've won before.

Sorry about that. There were two late entries that I forgot to add to the results list (they were counted in the answer values).

The Wire killed me, and I should have known. The Sopranos were stuck in my head for some reason.

Screw you Dubya and screw you Tom Brady. I went with the flavors of the month (Obama and LeBron)
