The Wire is the best of the three imo.

Watch Sopranos if you prefer mafia genre to cop drama.

Asking about Sopranos, The Wire, and Sherlock is akin to asking about The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Love Bug.

What's the history of the cleaner? I can vividly recall playing micro stakes with someone with a similar name

ESPN is unwatchable at this point. Has been for close to a year IMO.

whoa i didn't know jlaw felt so strongly about her pics getting hacked....

Quote:

Earlier this year, the Oscar winner spoke to Vanity Fair about her private photos being leaked online. "It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime," she said. "It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting."
"The law needs to be changed, and we need to change," she went on. "That's why these web sites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody's mind is to make a profit from it. It's so beyond me. I just can't imagine being that detached from humanity. I can't imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside."

was it more than just pics of her boobs?

West wing is good for about 4 seasons. Newsroom is definitely propaganda

Never seen Newsroom, West Wing, or Sports Night but they sound like propaganda and/or something involving sports which is even worse.

Sports Night is probably my favorite show ever. Give it a watch, survive the laugh track episodes and enjoy

Word is the pictures that were linked of her and others included full frontal and for some, hardcore. Not sure how much is truth, but that is what I've read

Agreed. And it's wretched. But they drop it after like 2.5 episodes

Sports Night was 15-20 years ahead of its time. It prefigured the new Golden Age of TV.

West wing seemed interesting except that every episode I watched they got so bloody noble that I couldn't hack it. That and the verbosity which was intolerable.
