Ok, me too.

Craig Ferguson is preferred by foreigners like you and I.
(I'm not really a foreigner, I'm from here.)

I saw Craig Ferguson live at Massey Hall a few years back. It was very entertaining.

Getting back into The Wire now. Season 1, Episode 1.

Super deluxe

Muddy you've convinced me to rewatch The Sopranos. I'm up to episode 6 of season 1. It's even better the second time around. I remember hating Carmela Soprano, but what an actress that Edie Falco is.

Theme song is so catchy. I never skip it.

 

[reno cool]

yes theme song is best

I thought that was Springsteen even though it doesn't sound like him but it's not, either someone told me that or more likely I decided that when I found out Sylvio was part of the E-Street Band

Oz is one of those shows I never followed but I recall watching several episodes and saying to myself damn this is good. Might have to look into that.

Matty, you watching it online....or what?

I downloaded the whole series. There's a 30gb torrent floating around.

I think The Sopranos theme song is good as far as theme songs go, however I listened to it once and then skipped it every other time.

Same goes for The Wire theme.



Oz was an okay show but it was a bit dopey. It was a show that tried a little too hard and got pretty outlandish.

You sure couldn't complain that there was nothing going on. There was always a lot going on. Like A LOT.

Sopranos theme >>>>> The Wire theme

I think we all agree, right?

 

[Mudcat]

I think I came across more critical of Oz than I intended. It had entertainment value and I probably watched every damn episode of its original run. There were a lot of good actors and some good creative people behind it. I'd be curious to look at season 1 again.

I remember they used to play The Sopranos theme on the radio just like a regular song for awhile. Not like a top 40 deal - like happened with The Rockford Files and Miami Vice way back when - but on the cool station.

I saw Craig Ferguson live at Massey Hall a few years back. It was very entertaining.

I saw Fergusons stand up act on Netflix - specifically his recent show in Washington DC, enjoyed it very much and that lead to wanting to see more of his persona.

Didn't really like him on the Drew Carey Show, but did like the Drew Carey Show itself.

Sopranos theme >>>>> The Wire theme

I think we all agree, right?

The Blind Boys of Alabama's version of "Way Down in the Hole" is amazing, even better than the Tom Waits original.

I love The Wire's tune too and I let it play through even on my second viewing (which I stopped after season 4).

 

[Mudcat]

Sometimes I walk into the grocery store and they are playing the theme song from Friends. It makes me want to kill myself.

 

[betplom]

don't do it!
