Sopranos

I just finished the thirteen episodes of season 1 of The Sopranos. I began watching it because two big tv guys (larry and jaydon) said it was in their top three shows of all time. With that in mind, I was pretty disappointed in the season. I am assuming these guys can't remember this far back because this one season of sopranos didn't even compare to heroes, and let's not even try to compare it to lost. As most shows do, I'm assuming it will get better as the seasons go on, but there was just not that much excitement for a show dealing with so much killing. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the show, but it was mostly the last three episodes that were doing it for me. I'm gonna take a break from sopranos and take a look at the wire. we'll see what happens.

Joe Schmo Show

So I was recently turned on to the Joe Schmo Show by T-time. I watched all 10 episodes within the last week because it was so good. Those of you who have no idea what it is...it was a parody of a reality show aired for two seasons in 2003-2004. In the first season, which is known as much better than season 2, the producers went out and found a guy that they wanted to center the show around. They then found 9 actors to play the 8 other reality show contestants, as well as the host of the fake reality show, Lap of Luxury. They filmed the show like Big Brother, where everyone lived in a house and competed for immunity and then voted out a housemate one at a time. It was hilarious to watch 'Joe Schmo' or Matt Kennedy Gould, deal with the ridiculous situations that the producers and directors put him through. The private interviews by the actors were also great because they were acting completely different than in the house. The best was the guy who was pretending to be a flaming gay guy with a cuban accent and then in his interviews was straight as an arrow. It was also awesome when the whole show ended and Joe Schmo finally found out that the whole thing was fake. He took it really well and was overwhelmed by the whole thing. It was great to watch because he was a great guy. The show wouldn't have worked if he wasn't such a great guy.

Gossip Girl Here

I just finished watching the introductory season of gossip girl and i enjoyed it more than i thought i would. It's on CW so i wasn't expecting much. Being co-created by Josh Schwartz of O.C. fame, it is easy to make comparisons. The main character, Dan, is no Seth, and Dan's dad, Rufus, is definitely no Sandy Cohen. What makes it better is how much less i hate Serena than i did Marissa. Bad boy, Chuck, is a great addition to the cast, as he brings more thrill to the show.

I'm looking forward to watching next season, while adding the new 90210 spinoff and the new palm beach show to my CW lineup.

Obviously here is my character rankings...

1.Nate
2.Chuck
3.Rufus
4.Blair
5.Dan
6.Vanessa
7.Lily
8.Serena
9.Georgina
