Hey Amanda, Your post title and the observation about the uselessness of most Q & As is dead on. It really made me laugh. Even more so, because I drew this cartoon during the same Q & A: Good stuff. Thanks.

but it’s also that they don’t work of LA or New York. (Friday Night Lights also gets hosed.)

Yeah, but you know, they filmed The Sopranos in Jersey.

It’s always hard for the individual actors in an ensemble piece to get awards.

I can imagine myself standing in line for a breakfast burrito.

Scrapple, not so much.

I completely understand NancyP.

We have cable, but only basic. So I get the four networks, PBS, CNN, Food Network, Comedy Central, Discovery Channel, and the usual kids’ channels, basically. There are a few others too, mainly shopping and sports, so I don’t really see any of the new cable shows either and I never know what’s going on in these threads.

I’ve been re-watching the series from the beginning for the past two weeks (with a few recently converted friends) and it’s a seriously awesome experience. Just started season 3 today and I’m already pumped as hell for Hamsterdam. Definitely worth the cash/dl time/toll on your Netflix queue.

With all the blah-blah about this show, I got curious. Not having cable, I went to the DVD store to buy season 1, and Not A Copy In Sight - not one box of any season. Oh well. It’s waiting in line after all those other shows I never saw - Battle Star Galactica. Truly, I inhabit a parallel universe without cable and without decent reception of 2 of 5 local stations.

I do have the public library a block away, probably the reason I have never gotten all that interested in cable TV.
