Really? I took a few days off to watch Seasons 2 and 3 of The Sopranos. There were 26 or so DVD's in total.

Nepali Kanchi,
I wouldn't say I am addicted to SFU, but I too did manage to watch almost all the episodes (first season) when they were aired on HBO (in Nepal -- every Tuesday evening) last Fall.
Alan Ball has done a great job, putting together a compelling, believable, dark and mesmerizing story-line about the dysfunctionally complicated Fisher family of
California.
Glad to see another Nepali fan of SFU: In Nepal, I haven't met that many people who said they liked the show.
Can't wait for the Second and Third Season episodes to arrive in Nepal.

I've always been a great fan of Sex and the City and Sopranos, but SFU is something really unique with a "compelling, believable, dark and mesmerizing story-line", and lots of what I like to call - hidden humour.
I'm not a fan of animation, hoewver, I do find Flinstones pretty funny! I think my favorite comedy has to be Curb your Enthusiasm, it used to be Seinfield, and now its CYE, all thanks to Larry David, its just so suttle you know....

Among Nepali comedy, Hijo Aja Ka Kura definately is the funniest show!
I also recently watched a few short films by Hari Banksha and Madan Krishna. They were comedies , but at the same time, they were trying to raise awareness health and social isues, such as HIV transmission (Raat) and treating the elderly with respect(Chiranjibi).
BTW , what do you call the genre of films that are funny , yet give out social messages? social comedies ?

This about "Six Feet Under" from today's The New York Times.
A Faster Pace for Burial Rites
February 28, 2003
By ALESSANDRA STANLEY
For those who have never seen "Six Feet Under," the HBO
series can sound uninvitingly like Norton Anthology
television: required viewing in the canon of pop culture.
The opening minutes of the third season's premiere on
Sunday do little to dissuade holdouts.
The episode begins with a spooky Bergmanesque dream
sequence, in which a tall young man appears to be
revisiting past experiences and alternate lives. He engages
in metaphysical dialogue ("Do you believe your
consciousness affects the behavior of sub-atomic
particles?") with an undertaker, whom only seasoned viewers
could recognize as his dead father.
Soon enough, however, even a novice can detect that the
visions are hallucinations induced by brain surgery. The
patient, Nathaniel Fisher (Peter Krause), returns to a rich
life of domestic tensions, strains in the family funeral
business and fateful entanglements of the heart.
What is easily overlooked about "Six Feet Under" is that
beneath the series's artsy aspirations (its creator, Alan
Ball, also wrote "American Beauty") lies an engrossing soap
opera closer in form to "E.R.," "The West Wing" and "Law
and Order" than its HBO cousin "The Sopranos."
The third
season, moreover, introduces new characters who bring a
faster tempo - a tarantella - to the understated emotional
score of the series. Catherine O'Hara joins the cast as
Carol, a neurotic Hollywood producer who hires Lisa (Lili
Taylor), the mother of Nate's child, as her live-in
personal chef.
Carol turns out to be a needy, mercurial tyrant who is
particularly demanding after business hours. ("Bring my
cinnamon toast up to my bath, and I'll tell you how I made
Melissa Gilbert cry.") Ms. O'Hara is a caricaturist who
teeters perilously close to the edge of farce, but she
delivers the most satisfying sendup of a movie mogul since
Kevin Spacey made "Swimming With Sharks" in 1994.
Kathy Bates ("About Schmidt") also does a star turn, as
Bettina, a type-A free spirit who becomes the new best
friend of Ruth (Frances Conroy), mother of the Fisher
family, and a bad influence on her. And others, including
an avant-garde art professor who tries to mesmerize young
Claire (Lauren Ambrose), blend into the saga just as
smoothly.
(snipped) ...................
The new season seems primed to address some of the
questions of status raised so obliquely in past episodes.
In his delirium, Nate walks into a dining room where a high
WASP version of the Fisher family (blonder, more brittle,
like characters in an A. R. Gurney play) are stiffly
gathered. In the next room, he finds a trailer park version
of himself slouched on a couch, watching television.
However surreal, the scene puts the Fishers in a social
limbo between those two dismal extremes.
On the other hand, six feet underground is the one location
where all people are finally equal.
