I think The Wire was okay, and that Game of Thrones is really bad, so I'm just gonna weigh in and emphatically disagree with your assessment that "they are the two best television shows made".
To be honest, I'm not impressed with people who are contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. Like yourself, it triggers some circuitry in the brains of many HNers that cause them to enjoy it, even if the actual content of the post is not as high as an equivalent, non-contrarian post. If you understand this circuitry is being fired, you can see the contrarianism for what it really is.
In all seriousness though, the constant contrarianness on display here is tiring. Not sure how else to put it.
