Sopranos Season 4 grainy picture??
Is it just me or is Sopranos Season 4's picture quality really grainy? I haven't popped in Seasons 1-3 to compare but I don't remember them being this grainy.

Just finished viewing and did not feel it was grainy. I do believe Season 4 was pretty lame overall compared to the other three seasons. Have not seen Season 5 since I do not have HBO....is Season 5 worth my time once released?

And about Season 4, I thought it was great that Chase focused on his family and Carmella. I mean, it had to come to a head at some point. She can only take so much. The final episode was some of the best "TV" I've ever seen. Just amazing performances all around.

I wonder how they are going to do season five (ending of season 4 spoiled)

This is the first Sopranos set I've watched on my new RPTV (which has been professionally calibrated), and I was surprised that while it did look more film like, it was noticeably darker than I remember on broadcast. But I would not describe it as grainy. I pulled out my season 3 set for comparison and found the quality to be about the same. I used Dr. Melfi's office as one of my comparisons, and both had about the same brightness and sharpness.

i believe you. i borrowed my friend's copies of Sex and the City Seasons 1-3, and they were the grainiest transfers i've ever seen. i think regular broadcast picture was cleaner than what i saw. perhaps HBO trying to cram too many episodes onto each disc has something to do with the crummy transfers?? i'm surprised nobody else has mentioned this earlier. oh well.
