The Sapranos
I don't get to watch much T V. Mostly sports and shows with content suitible for an 11 year old. Every Sunday night Dan is banned from the room while Kirsti and I monitor the seedy underworld of organized crime as told on the HBO hit The Sapranos. It is high drama at its best with just enough humor and stupidity to captivate both of us for the entire hour. It has been a continueing story for 2 or 3 years and this is the last season. Kirsti and I seem to always be speculating on what is going to happen next, who gets hit, who gets hurt, and who gets paid. You don't want to like the biggest lowlifes society has to offer but you just can't help being interested enough to watch them be themselves. For Kirsti it has the added attraction of being filmed in the area where she grew up so she is constantly recognizing landmarks, it has brought back some fond memories of her neighbor Mr. Franco the garbage contractor that lived behind her.

Dara and I have often thought we've missed out on the whole Sopranos and Six Feet Under phenomenon. A while back we got sucked into Alias, but realized we just didn't understand the background. So, we got the DVD of the first and second seasons, which was really a great way to watch the whole thing. I'm thinking maybe "24" would be the next target with this approach.
