The Sopranos

[Guest nickcornaglia]

Do you guys get The Sopranos out there on HBO? If so, os ot pretty popular?

[Guest Coucou]

It's on Channel 4, Terrestial, and something else on Satellite/Cable, and yes it's pretty popular - but always on at about 11pm so I never watch it. :)

It's probably the best TV programme ever made, but as Coucou points out, due to its marginal scheduling it only gets a limited audience. This is a major problem over here. We used to get Larry Sanders & Seinfeld too but they were only ever shown after 11pm. :evil:

Are they showing the final series of the Sopranos over there now ? :D

Is 6 Feet Under even better (I sometimes think so :) ) ?

What are you sending us next ?

Nip/Tuck and Jake 2.0 seem to be what they're "sending us over" lol. Downloaded an episode of both an dim quite impressed :!: Soprano's is the Daddy and is mostly on E4 at ungodly hours in the the morning - still its worth the watch if your a "thug fantatic" like myself :) :!:

I think there's some humour that doesn't travel well over the pond. I couldn't actually understand why people laughed at Seinfeld or Sanders. I do like some American comedy but more the stand-up stuff.

Def Jam Comedy - now thats where the great comedy is - cant get enough of the stuff :!:

The Sopranos has been the best TV import in years in my opinion. Great sense of humour which transcends cultural differences:

"He says you sniffed her panties"

"Hey T, when he's got a ring on her finger I'll respect that. Til then..."

"You idiot, he was a soldier with the interior ministry"

"What? What did you say?"

"What did T say?"

"He said he was an interior decorator"

"Really? His apartment looked shitty".

I think it went off the boil a bit in season 4, but at least its better than endless Sex in the City repeats on Channel 4.
