Our 7 Favorite HBO Shows…Ever

September 19th, 2011 - By Victoria Uwumarogie

As a young professional still trying to get adjusted to adult bills and responsibilities, I find myself forgoing the things I used to bug my parents about getting because well, I can’t afford it. One of those things includes cable. But when I talk to a lot of people about the necessity of having cable, they usually say they can go without most channels, but they’d kill to have and keep HBO. When I was living at home and going to school I had access to HBO shows, and when I didn’t, I was watching syndicated episodes of their hit programs or streaming old episodes from online and YouTube like a fiend. And I must say, I would much rather watch the old episodes of HBO shows rather than the new…anything, that’s on television right now. So with that, here’s a list of seven of the “dopest” shows I’ve ever seen on HBO. These lists are always debatable, so feel free to add some of your own in the comment section.

    The Wire! PERIOD!!! and not just because I'm from Baltimore, where it was based. The writing was superb and the acting outstanding. I wish it could return!!

  • Sandy

    Entourage and Spartacus is NOT HBO

    • Emelie

      Entourgae was on HBO

  • Sandy

    Also Game of thrones is off the hook!

  • Robin

    Sorry! Get A Life was on Fox. My bad!

  • Robin

    Get A Life is a classic. It's an older series from the 90's.

  • bishop

    Wire is the best and a classic that stands out amongst classics!!

    Boardwalk Empire is great too!!..Watched season 1..For all you Wire fans, yo boy Omar is in boardwalk empire, albeit as a different character…When does season 2 start? You're welcome HBO, I just put a plug in for your show…lol

  • Miki

    i love boardwalk empire

  • chriswillnever

    Boardwalk empire is a good show too tho..but love love love the wire..Omar died crazy is hell never expected that

  • Shell

    There was a show on HBO called "The Corner"..it was more of a mini-series than a full on episodic show…it was fantastic!! non the less….

    • Nicole

      oh my gosh that mini-series was amazing! i was absolutely hooked to it.

    • cee

      I loved "The Corner" also…

  • yadi

    Treme and The Wire…classics!

    • Guest

      Treme is garbage! I tried to give it a chance. It is too slow and the character development is poor. I sat thru the first season where it left with a little something to look forward to but after this recent season, IM DONE! IF Treme comes back for a season 3, I definetly won't.

  • Ashley

    True Blood is the best!!

    True Blood! I've missed the last season because my camus doesn't have HBO X(
    But I will!!! XD

  • PA-TX

    LOVED all of these shows! And Six Feet Under with its creepy quirkiness. I wish Nurse Jackie was on HBO (not Showtime). Edie Falco is awesome in this character!

  • Prissy

    I absolutely HATE "True Blood"… I can't get into vampires and that garb.. But I do LOVE "Entourage", "Treme", "Oz", and Big Love".. "Big Love" let me take a look at those Mormon , polygamist people in another light. I still think they are weird, but the show was a good representation of what those families go through.

  • Sam

    oh yeah, you forgot Entourage. if S & C makes the list, so does this show. Love Ari.

  • Sam

    ABSOLUTELY!!!!! Easily the best show of the list…i would even argue, best show ever.

  • Simone

    The Wire was the best!

  • IllyPhilly

    The Wire need to retroactively win an Emmy, NAACP, People's Choice, Oscar, Grammy, ALL Awards for Great TV and Media, and life in general.

    • Lachellz

      IllyPhilly, I agree!!!
