Best Show on TV

With hundreds of TV shows on network, cable, and satellites just what is the best show on tv?

Answer... Entourage hands mother f-ing down as Ari Gold would put it.

But this Emmy season the show should not win anything.

No HBO show should...why? Because like its motto its not TV.

HBO gets to play by a whole different set of rules than the networks and cable companies have to abide by.

Networks have commericial breaks, language restrictions, tv ratings, limits on use of sex, violence, and narcotics.

Now, I am not saying that any sensationalistic show is going to be good becuase that's not true but what is true is the lack of creativity being given.

Imagine, Vince not getting intimate with the hottest girls on the planet or how about Turtle not smoking weed or Drama's insightful philosphies.

And dare I say...Ari Gold on network TV.

He would fired faster than Vince on A2.

So how can shows like "Two and Half Men" or "My Boys" compete with the No Holds Barred shows on HBO..it cant.

Therefore it is unfair to network and cable TV to be competing with them for televisions top honors.

That is why I propose HBO shows compete against itself to ensure a fair fight.

Larry David vs. Carie Bradshaw or The Wire vs. Entourage

I'm down is anyone else?
