Now we're getting to the good stuff. The Sopranos triumphed over Thief and Psych while OZ ran over Weeds and beat Justice League in a tiebreaker. Does our favorite prison gang-rapin' show have a chance against Tony and Carmela?

I can't believe it's coming down to just wrestling and HBO.

I say once again: Fuck premium channels.

[Lucky]

I can believe it. Cable is overrated and HBO is the standard bearer. Other channels have done good stuff but most of it is recent or poorly viewed. And there's VERY little to choose from. Every HBO drama since OZ has however got heavy exposure and media support and all had SOMETHING to offer. And most of the ones that kinda sucked were artsy or soapy over the top so have fans.

HBO
Shield
Wrestling

Seems like what you'd expect from a wrestling group. Any other group would be HBO and Shield.

I'm just, I don't know, either:

a) surprised so many of us pay for premium channels, or

b) annoyed so many of us voted for shows based just on reputation.

Not sure which way to feel, as I'm not sure which of those is actually the case.

[Jack Quinn]

hmmm this one is tough. I think I am gonna have to take a bit and think on this. I don't watch a whole lot of tv, and these were two shows that kept me interested for several years

[Lucky]

It doesn't matter. One of them had better PR.

[creepy]

I liked the Sopranos, but it just had too many boring parts to the series. I don't have to have killings and gangster shit all of the time, but some whole episodes dealt with Carmela and how she thought she was something more than a glamourous trophy wife who would be, well, what Edie Falco's character was in OZ without Tony.

Man, I hate that bitch.

Oz, on the other hand dragged a few times and had a few weak episodes, but mostly, it kept me pretty much enthralled.


Plus, I'd imagine in the real gangster world, Paulie Walnuts would have been whacked before his hair even thought of going gray.
