The Sopranos is all HYPE
During the reign of TV giant The Sopranos, everyone claimed how great it was and what a spectacular show this was. I did not have HBO so I was feeling left out of the mix. People would tell me in disbelief.."You don't watch the Sopranos?????!!!!!! I would reply sheepishly.."no..I dont have HBO." However, on several occassions I thought myself lucky and happened to catch a couple of the episodes of the Sopranos. I did'nt understand the hooplah or the excitement. I would immediately run back to my DVD player and pop in Goodfellas just to erase the memories of boring Sopranos. The point of my grumble is this: I finally had seen several episodes of the Sopranos. I could finally tell people that yes I had seen some episodes and they were pretty boring and of no interest to me. When I would tell said people of the said episodes that I had said I watched, their replies were all the same: "Oh yeah...that episode was terrible. That episode was boring..that episode wasn't good." Now I could see that I had maybe seen a bum episode...even Saved by the Bell pulls a boner here and there, but when it is three episodes????? Where are the GOOD, FAMOUS episodes of the Sopranos??? How is it possible that I saw the ONLY 3 episodes that were the BAD episodes?? Coincidence?? Nay. People all over the world wanted another couple of hours of Goodfellas on DVD, but settled for the Sopranos and were blinded by the light. They were lit up like a Deuce..another roamer in the night.
