Default TV Wars!

Nobody's done this yet, have they? I'd like to try and face off genres or subgenres against each other, and I'd like to start with cop shows, so here's a hard one to start with.

Hill Street Blues

vs

The Wire

Now, I know what you're going to say: The Wire wasn't a cop show, it just had cops in it. But in fairness, HSB was much more than a cop show too; it redefined, in many ways, what TV drama was and could be, and almost introduced the idea of story arcs. So I think the two are relatively well matched.

Votes?
