Mister Tee wrote:And, yes, they ultimately Emmy-honored The Sopranos -- but WAY far into the show's run (after it had become about as radical a choice as was Bob Dylan when he won his Oscar).

Or Bob Dylan when he won his Grammy.

I'm going to take the contrarian position here. Whether or not LA Law and The Practice deserved those wins is debatable, but those weren't wins for tried, worn-out, past-their-prime shows. I'm sorry, but The Sopranos is the finest show television has ever given us. And the fact that is lost the Dra...

Except, James Dean never won an Oscar either...

Well, count me surprised. While my level of dislike for Batman Begins didn't approach Sonic's (speaking of which, where is he these days?) There was an argument in an American Idol thread about a gay stripper, and he hasn't been seen since. It won't make any more sense -- or sound any less lame -- ...

This is very true, and ...
