Settle a bet: HBO or Showtime

The wife thinks Showtime is putting out the best TV shows. I say it's HBO and not even close.

Showtime
Shameless
House of Lies
Homeland
Masters of Sex
Dexter- the 2 or 3 good seasons

HBO
Game of Thrones
Band of Brothers
Boardwalk Empire
The Sopranos
The Wire
True Detective
Veep
Treme
Newsroom (kindof)
Girls
Extras
Eastbound and Down
Deadwood
Curb


Not even close right?

Sopranos was the show that broke ground for the premium channel series becoming the hottest show on TV. you forgot Rome.

I have HBO and I don't have Showtime. My wallet votes HBO.

HBO. For Deadwood, Curb and Sopranos.

and flight of the concords.

seriously, it's not great, but it was funny.

HBO. Not even close.

I have both and I like HBO better.

You forgot Hello Ladies. Season 1 was hilarious. Don't know when/if there will be a season 2 though.

Overall HBO, but I think The Tudors (Showtime) is my favorite show from the two networks.
