Sopranos Meets L Word, Hilarity Ensues
First I got hooked on The Sopranos and powered my way through every DVD set. I even wrote an essay using material from the show. Now I'm grinding my way through "The L Word," which is growing on me bit by bit with its intelligent scripts, philosophical issues, questions of identity and acceptance, and friendship.
The Sopranos is 100 percent New Jersey material, L Word comes from Los Angeles. Still, in my mind the shows cross-polinate. Musing on the train, I imagined the casts switching places. That would give the material new meaning. Familiar faces in unfamiliar roles. I can see Tony in the Jennifer Beals role, other Sopranos actors in other roles where they can emote, swim, dance, laugh, cry -- all kinds of emotions and intense bonding. Jennifer Beals as Tony Soprano? I can see that, too.
And if that doesn't happen, I'll move on to 24, a very LA-centric show, colliding with L Word. I think Jack Bauer could teach the L Word characters a thing or two, and I'm sure they would take Kim Bauer under their wings.
America's gone too long without 24. My mind is starting to wander without my weekly fix.
