    If I could vote for this version, I wouldn't hesitate a moment...

    I really love The Sopranos, but I don't find myself wanting to rewatch it much. I actually put off watching new stuff that I have recorded on my dv-r box if I catch a random episode of That 70's Show on TV, and I have already seen every episode of it multiple times. That 70s Show is way more of a creative and interesting show that a lot of people give it credit for. A lot of people kind of flippantly disregard it as a sitcom and while it certainly does use that format, I think just calling it a sitcom to place it on the same level as most other sitcoms is doing it a grave injustice.
    There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

    Now, I did vote for That 70's Show, though I have seen Sopranos. It's just not my cup of tea. But, I haven't seen a lot of those shows you mention because my family doesn't get HBO or Showtime or any of those 'extra' channels. And I know I'm not the only one....exposure is probably a big problem here.
    I've had basic cable my entire life and I've seen all those shows. DVD's a wonderful thing.

    And Jean, you really must watch the Sopranos. If there are a few shows I would recommend I think you would love whole-heartidly it would be Sopranos, Six Feet Under and In Treatment. The acting, writing, directing is just top notch in those shows, far surpassing anything else.

    Should The Sopranos lose, that will just add to the agony of losing all the other amazing and acclaimed series I mentioned before, especially Six Feet Under, which is just a masterpiece of art in any medium.

    I haven't actually checked, but even if we get a single vote for The Sopranos that will tie the poll and by stated votes tiebreaker it should win. Come on!

    SOPRANOS IS LEADING....BOOYA

    I'm afraid though, very afraid. If it almost lost to 70's show...does it even stand a chance against the raging nerdgasm of the X-Files?

    Yes, DVDs are wonderful, but again it's an issue of availability. I couldn't always go out and buy a DVD box set or afford to rent 3-4 DVDs (sometimes more) for each season of a tv show. I've only recently gotten Netlfix, so that makes it easier, but it's still a difficulty for a lot of people.

    That's why you make friends with people with good taste in television. My best friend has Seinfeld, Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Dexter, Frasier and 24, all complete series. I hooked him up with Lost, Battlestar and In Treatment nad he hooked up with his. I've seen seasons of Six Feet Under and Sopranos and such for as cheap as 15-20 bucks now that it's been out. Entire Series will probably go for around 100-120 and it's more than worth the money for any of the shows I mentioned above.
