   My Complaint About "The Sopranos."

   Okay, I know it's a good show, yes.  But why does it have to be about   
   the Mafia?  I think we can do without all that sex and violence and   
   cursing and references to Italian food.  Why can't this be a nice, sweet   
   show which only vaguely alludes to the seedy underworld life and sexual   
   perversion?  This is the kind of show we need.  Or better yet, what   
   about a show about a zany Sixties rock band?  THAT'S IT!  They would all   
   live together in their studio apartment and have all sorts of wacky   
   misadventures.  What fun, eh?   
      
   Some of the things they do will be: audition for television shows, solve   
   mysteries, and adopt a pet gorilla!  (All will be zany.)  Each episode   
   will have some kind of lesson at the end, highlighted by an intermission   
   showcasing won (1) of the bands' (Is that correct? "Bands'"? Or is it   
   "band's"? Thanks.) songs, in a music video-style format.  Maybe won of   
   the guys will have a girlfriend who's always getting in the way.  Or   
   maybe not.  (you tell me???)  Won (1) of the guys could have an uncle   
   who's a witch doctor.  That right there ought to be good for a few   
   laughs, right?   
      
   There will be a lot of funny sight gags like, the phone rings and when   
   they go to pick it up, it's a banana.  (LOL.)  They will drive around   
   the neighbourhood in their convertible car, while playing their   
   instruments.  The lead singer will drive, so as not to cause accidents.   
   If the singer has a tambourine solo, then the bass player will drive.   
   The car will not be a stick-shift.  Maybe they can just have a   
   microphone mounted onto the steering column, so as to make less fumbling   
   for the singer.  The drummer will NOT drive.  Maybe they will do good   
   deeds like help the neighbourhood kid deliver the most papers in the   
   paperboy contest (since he doesn't have a dad, he looks up to them).   
      
   A funny segment will be the guys chasing after the gorilla all over   
   town, to the tune of some zany music.  This will be filmed at high-speed   
   for maximum humour.  Imagine these guys chasing a gorilla through a   
   fancy restaurant, or hotel lobby at HIGH SPEED!  Some funny things that   
   might happen: a fat lady faints and a waiter runs over to fan her with a   
   stack of menus; a sophisticated older man wearing a monocle that pops   
   off when he sees the zany sight; the chef in the kitchen cutting onions   
   and crying (unrelated gag).  Do you think this is a good idea for a   
   show, or what?   
      
   Instead of being poignant, it will just be cute and wacky.  Sometimes   
   crude.  Sexual innuendos can get a lot of mileage in comedy.  Maybe   
   during a funny chase sequence, they can run by a pretty girl and then   
   when they're gone, her dress is missing.  There will be only veiled   
   references to drug abuse and suicide.  Won (1) episode could have them   
   staying at a haunted mansion.  Another idea is that won of the guys gets   
   hit on the head and gets a case of amnesia, and the other guys fool him   
   into believing that he's their butler.   
      
   So to sum up, this is my complaint about "The Sopranos."   
      
   Bye bye, oh and enjoy your day!  I love all of you.   
      
   Love,   
   Wavy G.
