I agree. I just watched a few episodes of the Sopranos for the first time at a hotel while I was out of town, and I'm hooked. Best TV show I've seen in
years. I'm now working my way through the Season 1 DVD's. I love this show!
I've read some about Deadwood, and I like the outlaw town premise. I don't have HBO, but on the strength of the Sopranos, I might give Deadwood (Carnivale looks interesting too) and HBO a shot.
