The best TV show of all time The best TV show of all time

"The Sopranos" vs."The Wire": Two Salon critics duke it out over which series is the greatest ever.
  • I Like to Watch

    "Sopranos" finale an act of genius? Fuhgedaboudit! Great art may provoke us to the point of violence, but our favorite TV shows shouldn't.
  • Start believin'

    Don't let "Sopranos" fans and '80s embarrassment fool you -- Journey rules.
  • Our favorite murderer

    We may try to hate Tony, but our love for the careworn killer wins out. It's that moral perversity, in the age of Bush, that I'll miss most about "The Sopranos."
  • "The Sopranos" prediction pool

    Who will survive the big finale? Jonathan Ames, Berkeley Breathed, Jennifer Egan, Daniel Handler, Heather Havrilesky, Erica Jong, Laura Lippman, Frank Rich and others weigh in.
  • Little Steven speaks

    Steven Van Zandt talks about "The Sopranos," Springsteen and saving rock 'n' roll.
  • "Sopranos" wrap-up: Hide-and-seek

    Tony scrambles for cover as darkness falls.
  • I Like to Watch

    With so many bad haircuts, fussy accessories and ego-crushing rejections in the world, it's a wonder that any of us can sleep at night.
  • "Sopranos" wrap-up: The blood-dimmed tide

    Tony flails helplessly as things fall apart.
  • Hell, New Jersey-style

    As "The Sopranos" winds down, members of Table Talk, Salon.com's reader community, assess the loss of another wiseguy and wonder where Tony goes from here.
  • "Sopranos" wrap-up: Uncomfortably numb

    Tony dabbles in extreme denial, and "The Sopranos" descends into a surreal hell.
  • "Sopranos" wrap-up: "Is this all there is?"

    Tony goes off the rails and Christopher follows as "The Sopranos" enters its final chapter.
  • I Like to Watch

    The family ties that bind: Tony runs from shared memories on "The Sopranos," while Cinemax doc "51 Birch Street" unravels the perfect marriage.
  • I Like to Watch

    From the horndogs of "Entourage" to the lip-glossed man-hunters of "The Bachelor," gender bias stays in the picture.
  • Day of reckoning

    As "The Sopranos" enters its final chapter, Tony reluctantly faces his past -- and we reluctantly face the end of this brilliant series.
  • "Sopranos" promo

    We've waited for the beep and we'd like to know, finally, where the beef is.
  • "The (freaking) Sopranos"

    Will Tony and gang translate on basic cable?
  • TV's golden age

    The idiot box has gained some serious IQ points in the last decade. So let us behold: Television as fulfilling as anything at your local multiplex.
  • The American dream

    The real story of America is not about power, money or the march of armies. It is about a dream of liberty and justice and independence -- a dream that still comes true every day.
  • Much ado about nothing

    What exactly has happened to "The Sopranos"? And after two years of waiting, will we have any patience left when the final chapter airs in six more months?
  • I Like to Watch

    Will Tony go to jail? Will Carmela take over the family business? Should AJ take out life insurance? Readers predict the ending of the final season of "The Sopranos."
  • I Like to Watch

    While "The Sopranos" repeats itself, "24" explores utterly fantastical themes of corruption and deceit in the Oval Office!
  • "What, like 'The Flintstones'?"

    Tony Soprano vs. intelligent design.
  • I Like to Watch

    Pushy therapists, bickering models and corrupt cops may keep you riveted, but be honest: Has your favorite show outlived its premise?
  • I Like to Watch

    Best Week of TV Ever! "Project Runway" finale, "Battlestar Galactica" finale and "The Sopranos" premiere, all in the same week? Somebody pinch me.
