Pussy, Pussy, Pussy......

No, I'm not morphing my blog into an adult site. We will try to stay PG-13 on 'I Gotta Name This?'. I may drop an occasional F-bomb or escriment explative, but I will leave the nudity and adult content to the 95% of the internet that already has that market cornered. The title of this post references to my newest NetFlix DVD obsession. No, not porn! I thought I already covered that! Besides, I don't think you can get porn on NetFlix. I'm talking about the greatest crime show ever created (except maybe for TJ Hooker...not): The Sopranos. Many people I work with and hang out with have talked about the Sopranos in the past, and rather than getting HBO for one show, I decided to give the mob show hit a try on NetFlix. Let me tell you, it is one of the best shows I have ever seen. BSG is still my favorite, but the Sopranos is a close number two. I've been through seasons one and two, and am half way though season three. It is very addictive, like TV crack. Season one kind of set things up for you and was kinda slow, but seasons two and three are action packed. If you don't know, the Sopranos is about a New Jersey mob family. It is interesting because, instead of just focusing on the crimes and other things generally associated with the mob, The Sopranos takes a look at the family and social aspects of the Soprano family. For example, one of the main stories is about Tony (the boss) having anxiety attacks, so he starts going to a psychiatrist, but not like Analize This funny ha ha stuff. Anyways, back to the title fo this post. Pussy is the nick name of one of the family's capitans and the god father of Tony's kids. In other words, he's close to Tony. Well, Pussy gets busted for selling heroin and makes a deal with the FBI so that he can stay out of jail. Tony finds out and Pussy gets wacked. Now, you kow a show is great when you can say, "I can't believe that Tony wacked Pussy," with no sexual meaning what-so-ever. It was sorta like in The God Father when Anthony had to wack Fredo. Very moving. Honestly, The Sopranos has everything that a guy would want in a show: comedy, action, hot women, drama, great actors, and they hang out in a topless bar half of the time. The only thing that puts BSG above the Sopranos is the kick ass effects in BSG. So, if you have never seen The Sopranos, I give it my full endorsement. Be warned, there is some very graphic sceenes of sex and violence, so if you are faint of heart, you may want to skip this show.

I've never heard anything but good things about the show, but still have never really watched it. I've just really been into mob stuff so maybe that's why Sopranos has never been a big draw to me. That, and you have to pay for it.
