    This WAS Good

    And considering who wrote it, that's a hell of a surprise. Nevertheless, this article got very close to the heart of "The Soprano's" appeal. I've watched the show from the beginning, and although I've always believed it was both thematically and structurally a rip-off of "Goodfellas", it has changed by TV habits too. I can't imagine watching the crap on network TV, or even other cable networks. Although Showtime has had its share of good shows, HBO has turned itself into the 800 pound gorilla of quality television.
