Where have the good times gone?

Though i'll admit I didn't watch much of the Sopranos early due to lack of HBO in the house. However I have watched it enough to realize something that the show has done over the past year and half to two years. That is the focus of the show, I feel its gone from focusing on the Family to much and by that I mean AJ and school, Carmella and what shes doing. I feel the show use to be much more about the organized crime FAMILY and thats what made it great. When the show isn't with Tony we should be with the Capt's and Soldiers hanging out with the guys. Seeing chicks, watching people get whacked. I will say this though in closing all this build up could be leading to a war I just hope they get to it by the time people still care, i'll be waiting though.

i agree to an extent. there needs to be SOME regular family shit to add to the show but id prefer at least 90% of the show to be on the organized crime portion. the AJ and Carmella shit is getting boring fast and reminds me of teenagers like myself and their mothers. i see enough of the lectures and whatnot everyday, why would i wanna watch my favorite show do the same in an attempt to entertain me? lol
