Yes, We Live In a Cave (With Basic Cable)

Notice to all those who obsess over "The Sopranos" (and that includes the constant speculation and post-mortems in various media):

There's a vast majority of us out here who honestly don't care whether Tony Soprano lives or dies. That's because we have standard/basic cable and satellite, and HBO is too expensive for our taste.

We could have bought the DVD, but some of us don't think the sex, profanity and mob violence makes it worth the money.

On the other hand, the reruns on A&E aren't worth watching without the sex, profanity and mob violence. It insults our intelligence knowing that basic cable, longing to do what HBO and Showtime does every day, ends up looking like network television.

Now that "The Sopranos" is over with, would it be too much to ask not to give so much publicity to shows we can't watch?
