Last week’s poll winner came right down to the wire (no pun intended)…
THE RESULTS:
- Game of Thrones: 7 votes
- The Wire: 6 votes
- The Sopranos: 3 votes
- Six Feet Under: 2 votes
- Entourage: 2 votes
- Rome: 2 votes
- Big Love: 1 vote
- Boardwalk Empire: 1 vote
- Curb Your Enthusiasm: 1 vote
- True Blood: 1 vote
- Other: Band of Brothers: 1 vote (sorry, mini-series don’t count for this poll)
Wow. I must say I am a little surprised to see the newcomer Game of Thrones win this one. It’s an awesome show, no doubt, but it doesn’t have the long-lasting legacy that so many other HBO series have (at least not yet). My prediction beforehand was that The Wire would win out, but it finished a close second. It was nice to see so many shows get some love here — great voting everyone!
This week’s poll: What is the best Tim Burton & Johnny Depp collaboration?
Damn it! The Wire just lost… oh well, as long as Game of Thrones doesnt fall off in quality, it’ll be worthy of the title.
Yet another good one this week, too!
I was hoping The Wire would win as well, but hey, Game of Thrones is pretty damn awesome, too. Sucks this season is already near the end.
I went with Alice in Wonderland, though I enjoy all of them. Not a fair vote from me since I haven’t seen Dark Shadows yet. Sleepy Hollow is a close second for me.
Alice in Wonderland is actually the only one of these I have seen, heh… it’s a shame I can’t even vote in my own poll this week. Just figured this would be a good one with the release of Dark Shadows and all.
The Wire was definitely my vote for the best.
Right on, man. My vote as well.
Damn, I must have just missed this poll. I totally would have voted for The Wire, which would have tied things up. HBO has never produced a more stunning show. Shiiiiit….
Ahh, that’s a bummer. I would have been happy with a tie in first place.
If The two Ed films aren’t at the top of the new poll, I’ll eat my shoes.
Hahaha. Well so far so good, though it’s still quite early.
SO good to see GoT on top of the poll!! And rightly so. It is amazing. I am reading the books now and I am so in love with the whole universe!!
WINTER IS COMING!!
It’s amazing how much thought/detail was put into the GoT world. It’s easy to spend hours just reading through the extras on the season one Blu-ray. Just so much material.
I’m kinda glad GoT won. It’s a fantastic show. Maybe the writing’s not as fantastic as The Wire, but I stand by what I said before – it’s made it “cool” to be into fantasy.
This week, gone for Edward Scissor Hands. It was between that and Sleepy Hollow. I think Tim Burton did Gothic best with Sleepy Hollow, though love the whimsy and romantic side of Scissor Hands more.
Yeah, I never thought I would get into a fantasy show, but I love Game of Thrones. Maybe I should give a sci-fi show a chance now since I seem to be broadening my horizons.
I’m one of the few who voted for Rome, again in the minority lol
I have never seen Rome, but I’m definitely curious since it received a couple votes.
It’s worth it, although prepare to be left hanging in the breeze as the film was abruptly cancelled after it’s second season.
Ah, well that’s disappointing. That’s pretty much why I haven’t started Deadwood yet. Heard great things, but the lack of a proper conclusion is keeping me away.
Aiyah, I forgot to vote again!! Well I’d have gone w/ ROME but I haven’t seen too many so maybe I’m not eligible
I did vote in your new poll though.
Ahh you’re killing me Ruth! I ought to send you a weekly reminder to vote
Thanks for voting this week.
Ahah, maybe send me a tweet or something
Wow, that’s awesome and also surprising. I’m addicted to goT but I think it’s too soon for such high honors for the series, if it continues to be this good for next 2-3 seasons, absolutely yes, but not just now.
Completely agree, Sati. I love the show, but it’s not on the level of something like The Wire just yet.
Somehow I missed voting in this poll. But if I had it would have been for Game of Thrones !!!! Death to King Joffrey!
Ahah, so you would have broken the tie with The Wire anyway!
I can’t stand Joffrey. I am waiting patiently for all of the Lannisters to get their comeuppance (hopefully).
I would spare the Imp but I want everyone elses head on a pike
I made sure to vote in this week poll
Good deal
Wait!? There’s good extras on the Blu-ray release of GoT? I have the set, I better look into that. I read the first book and loved it. It’s just they are very long reads. I follow the second season weekly though!
Dude, the Blu-ray set is STACKED. Lots of goodies on there, including a *huge* interactive encyclopedia that tells you pretty much anything you could ever want to know about Westeros. I’m still checking out some of the video extras, but I think there’s a “making of” featurette as well.
