Poll Is HBO the greatest entertainment TV network ever? (28 votes)

Yes 50%
No 50%

The Sopranos, The Wire, Game of Thrones, True Detective, Rome, Chernobyl, The Leftovers, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, True Blood, Westworld; is there another network with as many high quality shows as HBO?

TV stations in the US and Britain began broadcasting in the mid-to-late 1940’s, but I would say widespread access wasn’t availability until the mid 50’s. HBO began broadcasting in the early 1970’s, but it wasn’t producing much original programming of note until the 1990’s. So, maybe yes or maybe no. Maybe the 70 years that CBS or the BBC have been creating original programs outweighs the 30 years HBO has. It depends on how much you value the history of television versus what’s currently popular.

Yes, the sheer quality of their shows past and present makes them IMO the GOAT.

Yes. The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, and The Wire are all considered to be in the top 10 of greatest TV series of all time.

Yes. AMC is the only other that I'd argue even comes close, and that's pretty much exclusively because of Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and Mad Men.

BBC also has some great shows

Netflix also has some greats imo

But HBO may lead in terms of prestige television
