Pat yourself on the back, TOM:

The intense [pat], richly detailed [pat] and shockingly violent vision [pat-pat] of one man, the show's continuing story of mob conflict in New Jersey achieved a STATUS [pat-pat] usually reserved for literary [PAT-PAT], cinematic or theatrical MILESTONES [pat-pat-pat]-- a "Death of a Salesman" [pat-pat-pat-pat], "Streetcar Named Desire" [pat-pat-pat-pat-pat] or "The Godfather" [Oh, well, there's no accounting for tastes].

"Sopranos" seems already to have secured the SEMINAL
STATUS [pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat] of CULTURAL LANDMARK [pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat]....An HBO spokesman says research shows that the audience for "Sopranos" includes "the INTELLIGENNNNNNNNNNTSIAAAAAAAAAAA" [pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat].... [Overemphasis and back pats added]

Doesn't it hurt a little?

TRANSLATION: Five years down the line: "The Sopranos: Was It Ever Really That Good?"
