ALLOW me to take a respite from covering the movies for today’s column as nothing showing is worth our time anyway. Let’s move on to the small screen, where a lot of great original films are being aired.

In particular, the products of HBO are oftentimes as good if not better than the films we go out to see. Its latest triumph, Angels in America, dominated this year’s Emmy awards. Likewise, its long running series, The Sopranos, won several awards. Thanks to The Sopranos (and Six Feet Under) shows about American families will never be the same again.
