Wow, we were talking about completely different things.
I'm talking about accessibility as in "how challenging is it to become engaged in the show, how immediate are the rewards, and how much time/effort needs to be invested before it starts to click and pay off." The Wire is a show that requires patience and has a definite barrier that makes it hard to immediately warm up to, especially for raw viewers. Game of Thrones is pick up and go for most people, unless they have reality-show-level ADD. Popularity usually suggests that something is relatively easy to grasp and consume.
I wasn't talking about distribution or availability.

Again, I don't know why you're reacting like my point had anything to do with GOT being a better or worse show. I mean, I do have an opinion on that, but that opinion wasn't connected to anything I said in that argument. We could have not been talking about GOT at all for what I care. My point was about the correlation between popularity and quality.
OK, now I see your point. Is GOT more accessible than the sopranos though? I think that's debatable. The Wire for sure though.
