I have noticed, like Tony's suburban. That thing is a tank though, I don't know how many times he's wrecked it.

I'm guessing season 3 escalates because I'm a few in now and its kind

And how excited they were in season 1 when Christopher jacked some dvd players.

You remind me a lot of his (Tony's) son in fact.

Don't you see the whole world like that, Max? You're Tony and the rest of us are either Junior or Uncle Junior?

I had a tough time with my rewatch. Janice & Olivia are almost too despicable.

Hell, everyone is despicable but Janice...dear god...Janice.

Also got so fracking sick of Carmella and her self-righteous nonsense.

They're still talking about "going online" as an activity in seasons 3-4.

I think that's about the most dated stuff going on. The internet is so ubiquitous now that I can't remember the last time someone referred to it as an activity or pastime like in the show.

How about this one? Youtube didn't exist in 2004.

Can you even remember a world without Youtube?

I still haven't watched this. But I need to start it because Breaking Bad is just too fricking boring

I like Mad Men - I don't love it - I like it.

Sopranos head and shoulders - with multiple payoffs during the run. The ending is polarizing, of course, but regardless of what you think about the ending (and some people have an issue with the Dr. Melfi scenes, as well) - the show itself is a wonderful drama - one of the best of all time.

Mad Men - for a historian or a person with a particular interest in the history of advertising - is a fine show, don't get me wrong - but it starts really, slowly and kind of plods along for a while. Not a GOAT candidate, by any stretch, but quality television, nonetheless.
