> What amazes me is how a show as good as the Sopranos
(and measured against other episodic TV shows on cable,
it is good!)
That's akin to asserting that a singer who is off pitch only half the time should be considered good because she could be off pitch all of the time. That THE SOPRANOS was better than most of the wretched fare on television means that it is superior to horrible. But being superior to horrible does not necessarily translate into being good.
