    The Sopranos is over rated

    Really having to soldier through the last two seasons

    good show, but not great.

    75% of the show is of them eating

    Ironic. Wife had never seen so started rewatching with her last week. Halfway through Season 2. I'm a big fan of it. Since it was on several other shows that are phenomenal came along and surpassed it. When it was airing nothing was close.

    The fact you talking about a show that been off the air how long? Kinda says it not overrated.

    It's just dated now. It's the same with The Wire. Back when those shows were new though, nothing else could compete.

    Just rewatched The Wire...definitely holds up (other than flip phones).

    Sopranos on the list for sometime soon.

    He's talking about it because he just watched it and he just watched it because it's so highly rated. Your logic is... that nothing that was popular was overrated? What?

    It's a show about EVERYTHING. Takes some appreciation. But you're right, it's not best ever.

    That said, there were some classic scenes.

    You clearly have no sense of humor. Funniest show ever on television. Loved every minute of it.

    I can understand his point. The OP is comparing a show that started 20 years ago and ended 12 years ago to the media of today. When The Sopranos first started, HDTV wasn't even a thing. I remember being so excited that I could watch tv shows in amazing 720p quality. And so many different shows in the meantime stole elements from The Sopranos, so now the things that made the show special are ordinary. The idea that someone can watch such an old show and even find it ok, means that it was absolutely mind-blowing in its heyday.

    Yeah I know. You feel this way because you're comparing an old show that pretty much revolutionized tv to current media. The other guy then said that it shows how special the tv show is that you're even talking about it 12 years after it finished.

    Agree breaking bad #1.

    You missing the wire. I would replace SOA w The Wire. SOA not bad but think some give it too much love. Took me a long time to get talked into that one but once I did watch I went back and started from beginning.

    Is redzone just Sunday nfl network thing? If so that don’t belong! Lol. If not no clue wtf it is.

    I generally don’t include the 30 minute sitcoms with these but Seinfeld was great, the office and Big Bang theory pretty good too.

    Speaking of stupid. Way to make assumptions or put words in my mouth. Where did I say anything that popular isn’t overrated you disrespectful bitch?

    If ppl still convincing him to go back and watch for 1st time now it musta been pretty fukkin good, which it was.

    Far as calling my post stupidest thing you have read I’d guess it the only thing you have read and it probably took you several minutes sounding out the words:

    Just watched the "Executive Game" episode S2E6. Silvio's interrupted gambler reaction is classic. "I love f'in cheese at my feet. I stick m'f'in provolone in my socks at night so they smell like your sister's crotch in the morning"

    Hopefully you not allowed within miles of a kindergarten.

    I said the fact he watching it now must mean there something to it. You apparently read between the lines w the rest. But just like you don’t wanna explain your bs theories to me I have no interest wasting anymore time on some bitch made jerkoff who’s parents were too lazy to teach him manners. Go play in traffic.

    I literally described exactly what you said. Yet you're the one distancing yourself from what you said. Now you just say you said "there's something to it". Lmao. I didn't read between the lines. I quoted you directly, dumbass
