When I first watched the beginning of The Sopranos series back in the '90s, I didn't think that much of the show...so that was my first impression. Now, I love the show and regard it as one of the very finest series in the history of television.
Rob, you should watch the episode from season 3, "Pine Barrens."
Season 6A also had a remarkable one with "The Fleshy Part of the Thigh" even though "Members Only" (the season 6 premiere) won the Emmy for dramatic writing last year.

as far as 6 feet under goes, it is not jsu that the shows are predictable it ifs that the entire premise of the show is to have the characters endure repeated and never ending personal trauma and pain and suffering. it is obvious when they introduce any new story line or character that you are just waiting for that charatcer to have the worst possible thing happen to them and if you pay attention to the background you are given on them, it is very very easy to guess what the terrible occurence will be. I find that to be self-torture, which women seem to love in their television shows...
to steal a line from John of They Might Be Giants, being one of the best television shows ever is like being called the world's tallest midget.
