Anyone out there besides me think that the Sopranos is sucking big time wind this year? I didn't think it was possible to get worse than some of the episodes last year but this year seems infinitely worse. The shows seem disjointed. There is way too much of the bit characters that I could care less about... the annoying Janice, Bobby Baklava, Adriana etc. Oooh, and I see one of my least favorite characters, Artie Bucco makes a return next week. We wander from show to show waiting for something interesting to happen and it doesn't. Big freaking deal... Tony hangs at the horse track with Ralphie (when the hell did these guys start paling around?), Janice finds love in Bobby, Junior bitches some more about his trial, Bobby threatens a union representative and Tony talks with Carmella about monetary investments. What happened with the Johnny Sacks hit? Did it just go away? Where is the effing must see TV in that? You know it's bad when I am looking forward to episodes of "Mind of the Married Man" more than the Sopranos. OK, maybe it's not that bad... but it's close. As Casey Casem once said... "what the hell is going on here... ponderous, fucking ponderous." There are so many paths that this season could have gone down that would have made it so much more interesting. We should have known that we were in trouble when David Chase said this season would focus on "Family". Problem is, it's not the Mob Family they are focusing on.

Oh, and the other problem. Two words. No Paulie.
