That's a big If. I don't even get the local dreck broadcast over the
airwaves. I have found, however, that good series tend to end up on
DVD, which can be either purchased -- or better yet -- acquired
through NetFlix. NetFlix is a lot cheaper than satellite.

The Sopranos were well into their second season before I finally
watched the first. Now there's a series worth watching a few times. I
actually bought the DVDs. Having lived in Chicago's First Ward for a
number of years, I recognize all those people.

One advantage of watching on DVD is that you can watch a whole season
in a couple of days.

the first ones are worth the trouble
