While they are not comparable, the correct answer is obviously The Simpsons.

They are nearly equal at the moment.

The Wire > > > The Simpsons in its prime > > > > The new Simpsons

The Wire 9/10
The Simpsons in it's prime 8/10
The new Simpsons 5-6/10

No way jose.

It was king of primetime (ratings be damned) & it was emperor of reruns. Nothing overrated about 10 extremely solid seasons.
