I've only seen 15 minutes of that show.

Is it really that good? Everyone's going nuts, I want to see what I'm missing out on.

Yes.

And doesn't HBO simulcast The Sopranos in HDTV? I remember last year, HBO was widescreen and HBO2 was TV...

I'm all there with bells on, and I already have the VCR (no TIVO at my house) set in case something bad happens. If nothing bad happens I can still watch it over again right after it is done. :)

Alright guys.. I'm not going to be getting HBO till next week and I've just now started watching the Sopranos

I got through season 1 and started on season 2 but unless I do nothing else and just watch all the rest of the episodes I'll never be able to catch up.

Now I could just skip next weeks episode and give myslef another full week to catch up but the temptation to watch will be to great.

SOooooooo

My question is I have about 23 epsidoes left to watch (watched the first 3 of season 2) Can you guys tell me which ones I could not watch and still stay to the storyline ( I know its hard because so far almost every episode had SOMETHING to do with the continuous storyline) but any I could cut out and still know whats going on in Season 4?

Anyone help?

Nice theater setup.


How is the quality on the projector?

Can you watch stuff with the lights on?

Also, how much was your screen?

The quality is better than my dads 65" Mits widescreen :). You can watch stuff with the lights on but I looks much better with a black room. And I made my screen for about $50.

SOPRANOS OR BUST!

It was a good episode IMO ... except for the Pauly thing ... caught me ...

Anyways ... Junior was on NPR this week doing an interview with Diane Remes or something ...

He really has a CD out (remember end of season 3, he was singing at the end) ...

It was good to see the premier, but I was a little disappointed. It was such an ANGRY episode. The first 15 minutes was nothing but people yelling at each other. There wasn't enough of that "family" feeling IMO.

Junior is hilarious as always... "for once can't we have a meeting where we all look at the same piece of paper"... "they cut down a forest in the Northwest to take care of all the xeroxes for this trial" =)
 

Just got back from a Sopranos party. I liked it, but it was kind of slow. Best line:

"Quasimodo predicted all that stuff."

And sadfully so. :( Why are they so slow to release these on DVD? The first season come out in March, am I gonna have to wait until next march for season2? Leave it to HBO to make their best show a last priority, First they dumped Mr. Show for Arliss and Sex in the City? Am I gonna be dead before they release seasons 2, 3, & 4 of Oz on DVD?? I gotta watch 'em on my crappy low-quality VHS Tapes? WTF HBO? get with the program. :| :| don't get me wrong The Sopranos is great too.
