    Current shows vs. Current shows...

    AMC has 4 that anyone has seen..

    Mad Men
    Breaking Bad
    The Walking Dead
    The Killing

    HBO's top 4 shows 1 hour dramas..

    True Blood
    Game of Thrones
    Boardwalk Empire
    Treme

    I can't judge because I haven't watch Mad Men yet, but I am waiting til they start from the beginning so I can. But that's 8 hours of great TV based on Critics/Ratings..

    But is it quantity vs. quality? Nah, because HBO still goes deep and those 4 shows above are still really good....imo

    Real Time w/ Bill Maher
    How to make it in America
    Eastbound & Down
    The Life and Times of Tim
    Curb Your Enthusiasm
    Real Sports w/ Bryant Gumbel
    Hung
    The Neistat Brothers
    Bored to Death (Ok, but not great..)
    The Ricky Gervais Show (Watched some re-runs and its pretty funny..)
    Funny or Die (Hit or miss..)
    24/7

    AMC is killing it, but not killing HBO. I'd say I watch just about everyone of those shows when they are in season with the exception of the one's I commented on. HBO is still the GOAT.

    yeah
    i woulda never thought i would watch AMC as much as I have the last 3 years.

    AMC jus used to be the channel Terminator 2 and True Lies came on.

    I woulda never thought they would beat FX for best basic cable channel

    FX used to be the basic cable champ


    The Shield
    Nip/Tuck
    Rescue Me

    R.I.P.

    Justified was DOPE AS ? this season, Archer is still the best cable animated show not on [adult swim], Louie is one of the smartest and most politically progressive comedies on TV, and I've heard great things about Sons of Anarchy.

    Yea, on second thought....this.


    HBO had it's time when The Sopranos/The Wire were still on.
    AMC has arguably the best two shows on TV with Breaking Bad/Mad Men.
