Guys, I know several people in whose good taste I would trust, who were keen Sopranos watchers. Personally, I have never watched it. I actually go out of my way to avoid American programmes unless we're talking documentaries from a credible source, or nature programmes.
The one recent exception to this rule, was "Six Feet Under", an incredibly well written programme, and just a little off the wall.
I've also enjoyed some terrific American comedies over the years........
Taxi (the Reverend Jim !!!! ). WKRP, the incomparable MASH, Barney Miller (Abe Vigoda - "Fish" ), George Bush, and probably others that I can't recall.
Being a child of the fifties, I was raised on "English" TV programmes, and at least partly in consequence, have an English (mostly) sense of humour. Though I was seriously corrupted by Mad Magazine, and especially Don Martin's contributions. I fondly remember laughing myself nearly sick at his cartoons. Was there a streak of English lunacy in his work, do you think ?
Like you, I'd rather be here talking to like-minded lunatics.
I appreciate you guys, and would like to thank Don especially, for letting us "Carry on".
