I tried to watch The Sopranos.
I downloaded the pilot episode from the first season, and I'm sad to say I'm underwhelmed. After hearing so many people say so many things about this show, I have to admit my expectations were high.

Therapy? Really? The guy is in therapy? So I'm watching, thinking maybe this guy isn't that tough. Therapy is for pussies. Sorry, that's just how I see it. So later he runs a guy over and then punches the guy in the broken leg. Okay, that's better. But then he passes out because some ducks flew out of his swimming pool. The kids aren't very good actors, and the mother pulls a loaded machine gun out of the closet and pulls it on her daughter who is trying to sneak out of the window? Yeah right. Plus the annoying accents. I know Italians aren't all annoying, that would be a horrible stereotype. But THESE TV Italians are annoying as fuck. Then Tony tells the therapist he's sad because the ducks left. What a pussy.

Anyway, I got about three-quarters through it and had to delete it. I deleted it when these words came out of Tony's mouth: ". . .I have to play the sad clown . . ." HA! What a pussy. Quit yer crying.

Well, that's my take on the Sopranos. Sorry. Maybe it takes a few more episodes to get "caught up" in it. But I'm not ready to make that kind of commitment. Therapy. Ducks. Sheesh.
