## LEFT COLUMN 1747. TV alert: Catch Fire An ABC drama of near-Sopranos quality by Matt Roush Consider ABC's intriguing, multi-layered Line of Fire a promising answer to the enduring question, "Why don't the networks even try making anything as compelling as The Sopranos?" Getting a tryout in NYPD Blue's time period (Tuesdays, 9 pm/ET), this tough, smart and suspenseful drama isn't quite in The Sopranas' league-yet. All it needs is a dash of humor as it grimly follows the interlocking lives of an FBI team and the crime-syndicate "family" it's targeting, based in Richmond, Virginia.
