Let me tell you, go back and start them all over. I watched episodes
1-4 and forgot how good these early ones were. If you pick out other
successful shows, be they dramas or comedies, the first few episodes
are generally bad. Take Seinfeld for example, his first 5 episodes or
so were horrible, unwatchable at least to me. But, watching the
Sopranos last night, I think Nancy Marchand's role as Tony's mom was
more spectacular than I previously thought. The few things I picked
up was her wonderful acting, I really liked Big Pussy and
Christopher's wild and cocky ways made for some entertaining shows. I
even liked the Brandon character that got whacked in the tub. The
episodes where Tony would beat the crap of Mikey P. was priceless.
Just wondering if anyone else is starting to watch them again from
Season 1.

You bet. I was just watching an episode from Season 2, I believe, in
which Tony was giving driving lessons to Meadow. She was awful, even
trying to drive straight! Some things never change.

What you'll find is that even episodes that you thought were the shits
were not that bad. Season 4 stands out for me. I thought it was God
awful. A year or so afterwards I borrowed it from a buddy and rewatched
it - I was impressed to tell the truth.

I'm not sure i'll buy the ones with Johnny Cakes. I just can't paying
the money only to fast forward through the gay lovemaking between Vito
and JC. Yuck!

I forgot to reply to you. Yes, you're 100% correct. I can watch
these over and over just like I can the HBO Band of Brothers. I watch
this constantly and never seem to tire of it. I wish HBO would put
some more stuff out. One series I thought would be very good would be
having a show of DEA agents tracking down Colombian drug runners. I
think that concept would make for a great show. No more Big Love type
of shows. Who wants to watch a bunch of culties anyhow.

I liked "The Corner", which, I believe, premiered after the first
Sopranos season ended.

I liked it too. And "The Wire" is much better IMO. Same writers (I think)
and some of the same cast.
