Don't underestimate them. They might surprise you. I was not interested
in watching The Sopranos when it originally aired. I had no interest in
viewing a program promoting the Italian crime family stereotype. There
was so much hype about the last episode that I watched it. As strange
as the ending seemed, I realized that it had been very well done. I
then borrowed the DVDs from the library and watched the whole series. I
have seen most of it again in re-runs. It's pretty good.
