I’ve never seen The
Sopranos. Let me just put that out there before you later discover my
residence and wonder why I’ve never seen the show that forever linked the
Garden State with organized crime, at least in the mainstream mindset. It
premiered in 1999, when I was busy with my (first) career, and I didn’t have
HBO. But more than that I wasn’t diggin’, and still don’t, the type of
programming the networks started developing in the mid-90s: polished,
scene-less, clever-dialogue-heavy shows with lotsa shock value and little
emotional connection to the characters.
Prejudging? I don’t think so. I could be wrong, or I could
have changed. Or maybe I just wasn’t giving the show, or other shows of its
ilk, a fair shake. So here comes the next show of the Rocket: The Sopranos. It ran for six seasons,
but bear in mind that cable seasons are much shorter than network ones, so the
total episode count is 86. Not a whole lot to set up here, so I’ll skip the
lengthy introductions. Suffice to say, here we go! Thinkin’ about clicking to
another blog? Fugghetaboutit!!! (Sorry, couldn’t resist.)
