NSR: finally watching the Sopranos
« on: October 02, 2022, 11:29:34 AM »
Checked out all the seasons from the library.
Frequently hailed as the best TV show ever, decided I'd see what all the fuss was about.
Wife and I did the same with Dowton Abbey last year.
We enjoyed D.A. !
Will probably watch it again.
Sopranos, watch when the ladies are at work or college.
Got interested after viewing a YouTube of the final scene.....so I'm coming at it somewhat backwards.

Did the same with Band of Brothers...during covid.

best? I didn't think so,

I watched a few episodes of Beverly Hillbillies yesterday, still hilarious, no matter how many times I watch.

I started Ozark too, seen a few episodes a couple years ago, they have both hillbillies and rednecks on that show

A bit off the wall, but did you catch Orphan Black?  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan_Black

Sure the women would like it too. Mine did! Filmed in Canada 🇨🇦.

Enjoy Stig - Sopranos was a great show (but crappy ending). My wife and I enjoyed DA as well and I would love to be able to see Upstairs/Downstairs again.

Try your county library.....if not there use the inter-library-loan system?
If it is in any public library in my state, including many universities....it can be sent to my library on request.
In years past, when we had better funding....it was nation wide!
I once obtained a 100 yr old French book from Philadelphia...came in a special box to keep it together!

Update: while driving today I recalled the amazing find I received through the inter-library-loan system some years ago.
As an old medic I was reading with interest about the trials of the French medical personnel during the siege at Dien Bien Phu in the early 1950's. I read that the chief French medical officer had survived and had written a book upon his return to France. Amazingly - the following year there appeared an English translation (c.1955). So I set about the search through my library for this book.
A few weeks later I got a call from my library to come pick up a book being held for me. Once again I was handed a very special first printing (the only?) of a book - the surgeon's translated memoir's in a special carton. Pages were loose, the front cover was loose...etc. but it was all there, in the box with a ribbon around it.
Very briefly - it was a fascinating read : the French lived underground to survive the constant shelling. The tunnels were so crowded that the wounded were 'stored' in tubes dug into the tunnel sides. Maggots were used to clean and debride the wounds, etc...
To paraphrase a movie - "if they wrote it, you can get it" through the I.L.L. system!
