The FACTS are; The Sopranos viewership can't be compared to the viewership of GOT, two different times and too many variables that separate . You are correct that GOT is doing big numbers and has been a huge success, but when you start making idiotic claims, your words fall upon deaf ears.
There you go again. The numbers were compared though thats fact (and the way they are counted now compared to how they use to be proves GOT is the superior ratings monster for hbo).... ok they were a different time, but theyre also a different genre. Fantasy / extremly fictional (before you twist my words around again im talking about the fiction of monsters,magic, and ghouls)
Have proven to have more viewership than the gangster/cop/hospital type shows. (Ex: Walking dead, Arrow,flash, once upon a time) these are huge hits because the whole family can watch.(not saying GOT is a "family" show particularly ) It also proves in movies as well.
Try to deny the harry potter movies. MARVEL, DC , hunger games star wars movies have ever been beat in ticketsales and money made to a non fantasy genre movie.
Its not about being in the moment. Once again im as old if not older than you.
Im not claiming GOT is a "family" show(once again ), it has sex murder and mayhem....
Same as Sopranos. But as a parent/guardian im more inclined to let my child watch a fantasy show like this over something like the wire or sopranos .(which ratings and fandom has proved)books and merchandise sales). Again Walking dead. Is that not the most highest rated television show on tv. Season 4 cleared close to 20 million viewers.
I realize sopranos and the wire were debuted before the huge social media boom.
But yall are acting like the economy suddenly got that much better and everyone can or has HBO in their living rooms. The same way yall argue "IF" sopranos or wire was on now it would have more viewers because of social media. Those 2 shows have had years of being out. They still calculate the numbers of people buying dvds going back on hbo go/now/demand and GOt as stated in here has still surpassed it.
I really dont see the argument youre trying to make anymore?
How about this 2 options. Either block me on this board (which idk why you would do that if you cant handle a little debate...plus I contribute a good deal to this board)
Or PM me.
Im fine with both but no need to keep trying to belittle me on here to get a smile for the day. If you can't debate without degrading someone personally than why debate at all.?
