Lead Belly And The Opera Singer

How do you know you’re devoted to a TV show? When you watch the low-def version of the penultimate show on the east coast feed, rather than waiting another three hours for the HD west coast feed.

I won’t say a word in way of a spoiler about the second to last episode of The Sopranos, but I will say that I now have no idea how the show will end – in all seriousness I have some ideas but they’re really just all of the possible outcomes now, rather than a hunch – and frankly it was the most painful episode I’ve watched in a while… Honestly: my stomach is still in knots after being on pins and needles, waiting for stuff to happen. Heroes, Battlestar Galactica, 24, Babylon 5 – great shows, but they didn’t cause me stomach cramps…

And God knows that cramps are a great barometer for TV quality.

  1. Umm–I think you mean stomach *cramps* and not stomach *craps* right? Although I suppose that would be some kind of television show if it could give you the craps.

    And, of course, lots of people would say that “crap” is exactly the word to use to describe TV quality….
