10th of June 2007. I know no one cares but it is the single greatest television show I've ever watched. Yeah, people do rave about it. What is it about? Singing? No, it's about a mafia boss. That was good for you.

I don't think she meant to do it though. It's about a mafia boss who is in therapy. Sounds like it should be Glee. Yeah, Sopranos.
