Boardwalk Empire

I'm looking forward to the new HBO show Boardwalk Empire. I think it's going to be like a prequel/creation story for The Sopranos. And my whole reason for never watching The Sopranos (I know that some of you liked that show, so please don't take this personally) was that it didn't take place in the hey day of organized crime, so it was not as fun as it could have been. All of that lamenting to a psychiatrist was just too real for me. This show promises to be a fun romp through a world of vaudeville, flappers, and cute choppy old time-y East Coast accents. My hope among hopes is that some of the Kennedy clan appear with all of their rum running and bootlegging.
